##### Restricted rooms

{{% added-in v="1.2" %}}

Restricted rooms are rooms with a `join_rule` of `restricted`. These rooms
are accompanied by "allow conditions" as described in the
[`m.room.join_rules`](#mroomjoin_rules) state event.

If the user has an invite to the room then the restrictions will not affect
them. They should be able to join by simply accepting the invite.

When joining without an invite, the server MUST verify that the requesting
user meets at least one of the conditions. If no conditions can be verified
or no conditions are satisfied, the user will not be able to join. When the
join is happening over federation, the remote server will check the conditions
before accepting the join. See the [Server-Server Spec](/server-server-api/#restricted-rooms)
for more information.

If the room is `restricted` but no valid conditions are presented then the
room is effectively invite only.

The user does not need to maintain the conditions in order to stay a member
of the room: the conditions are only checked/evaluated during the join process.

###### Conditions

Currently there is only one condition available: `m.room_membership`. This
condition requires the user trying to join the room to be a *joined* member
of another room (specifically, the `room_id` accompanying the condition). For
example, if `!restricted:example.org` wanted to allow joined members of
`!other:example.org` to join, `!restricted:example.org` would have the following
`content` for [`m.room.join_rules`](#mroomjoin_rules):

```json
{
"join_rule": "restricted",
"allow": [
{
"room_id": "!other:example.org",
"type": "m.room_membership"
}
]
}
```

Events must be signed by the server denoted by the `sender` key.

`m.room.redaction` events are not explicitly part of the auth rules.
They are still subject to the minimum power level rules, but should always
fall into "10. Otherwise, allow". Instead of being authorized at the time
of receipt, they are authorized at a later stage: see the
[Redactions](#redactions) section below for more information.

The types of state events that affect authorization are:

- `m.room.create`
- `m.room.member`
- `m.room.join_rules`
- `m.room.power_levels`
- `m.room.third_party_invite`

{{% boxes/note %}}
Power levels are inferred from defaults when not explicitly supplied.
For example, mentions of the `sender`'s power level can also refer to
the default power level for users in the room.
{{% /boxes/note %}}

The rules are as follows:

1. If type is `m.room.create`:
1. If it has any previous events, reject.
2. If the domain of the `room_id` does not match the domain of the
`sender`, reject.
3. If `content.room_version` is present and is not a recognised
version, reject.
4. If `content` has no `creator` field, reject.
5. Otherwise, allow.
2. Reject if event has `auth_events` that:
1. have duplicate entries for a given `type` and `state_key` pair
2. have entries whose `type` and `state_key` don't match those
specified by the [auth events
selection](/server-server-api#auth-events-selection)
algorithm described in the server specification.
3. If event does not have a `m.room.create` in its `auth_events`,
reject.
4. If type is `m.room.member`:
1. If no `state_key` key or `membership` key in `content`, reject.
2. If `content` has a `join_authorised_via_users_server`
key:
1. If the event is not validly signed by the user ID denoted
by the key, reject.
3. If `membership` is `join`:
1. If the only previous event is an `m.room.create` and the
`state_key` is the creator, allow.
2. If the `sender` does not match `state_key`, reject.
3. If the `sender` is banned, reject.
4. If the `join_rule` is `invite` then allow if membership
state is `invite` or `join`.
5. If the `join_rule` is `restricted`:
1. If membership state is `join` or `invite`, allow.
2. If the `join_authorised_via_users_server` key in `content`
is not a user with sufficient permission to invite other
users, reject.
3. Otherwise, allow.
6. If the `join_rule` is `public`, allow.
7. Otherwise, reject.
4. If `membership` is `invite`:
1. If `content` has `third_party_invite` key:
1. If *target user* is banned, reject.
2. If `content.third_party_invite` does not have a `signed`
key, reject.
3. If `signed` does not have `mxid` and `token` keys,
reject.
4. If `mxid` does not match `state_key`, reject.
5. If there is no `m.room.third_party_invite` event in the
current room state with `state_key` matching `token`,
reject.
6. If `sender` does not match `sender` of the
`m.room.third_party_invite`, reject.
7. If any signature in `signed` matches any public key in
the `m.room.third_party_invite` event, allow. The public
keys are in `content` of `m.room.third_party_invite` as:
1. A single public key in the `public_key` field.
2. A list of public keys in the `public_keys` field.
8. Otherwise, reject.
2. If the `sender`'s current membership state is not `join`,
reject.
3. If *target user*'s current membership state is `join` or
`ban`, reject.
4. If the `sender`'s power level is greater than or equal to
the *invite level*, allow.
5. Otherwise, reject.
5. If `membership` is `leave`:
1. If the `sender` matches `state_key`, allow if and only if
that user's current membership state is `invite` or `join`.
2. If the `sender`'s current membership state is not `join`,
reject.
3. If the *target user*'s current membership state is `ban`,
and the `sender`'s power level is less than the *ban level*,
reject.
4. If the `sender`'s power level is greater than or equal to
the *kick level*, and the *target user*'s power level is
less than the `sender`'s power level, allow.
5. Otherwise, reject.
6. If `membership` is `ban`:
1. If the `sender`'s current membership state is not `join`,
reject.
2. If the `sender`'s power level is greater than or equal to
the *ban level*, and the *target user*'s power level is less
than the `sender`'s power level, allow.
3. Otherwise, reject.
7. If `membership` is `knock`:
1. If the `join_rule` is anything other than `knock`, reject.
2. If `sender` does not match `state_key`, reject.
3. If the `sender`'s current membership is not `ban`, `invite`,
or `join`, allow.
8. Otherwise, the membership is unknown. Reject.
5. If the `sender`'s current membership state is not `join`, reject.
6. If type is `m.room.third_party_invite`:
1. Allow if and only if `sender`'s current power level is greater
than or equal to the *invite level*.
7. If the event type's *required power level* is greater than the
`sender`'s power level, reject.
8. If the event has a `state_key` that starts with an `@` and does not
match the `sender`, reject.
9. If type is `m.room.power_levels`:
1. If `users` key in `content` is not a dictionary with keys that
are valid user IDs with values that are integers (or a string
that is an integer), reject.
2. If there is no previous `m.room.power_levels` event in the room,
allow.
3. For the keys `users_default`, `events_default`, `state_default`,
`ban`, `redact`, `kick`, `invite` check if they were added,
changed or removed. For each found alteration:
1. If the current value is higher than the `sender`'s current
power level, reject.
2. If the new value is higher than the `sender`'s current power
level, reject.
4. For each entry being added, changed or removed in both the
`events`, `users`, and `notifications` keys:
1. If the current value is higher than the `sender`'s current
power level, reject.
2. If the new value is higher than the `sender`'s current power
level, reject.
5. For each entry being changed under the `users` key, other than
the `sender`'s own entry:
1. If the current value is equal to the `sender`'s current
power level, reject.
6. Otherwise, allow.
10. Otherwise, allow.

Some consequences of these rules:

- Unless you are a member of the room, the only permitted operations
(apart from the initial create/join) are: joining a public room;
accepting or rejecting an invitation to a room.
- To unban somebody, you must have power level greater than or equal
to both the kick *and* ban levels, *and* greater than the target
user's power level.
