+            target: The user whose membership is changing. This is often the same value
+                as `sender`, but it might differ in some cases (e.g. when kicking a user,
+                the `sender` is the user performing the kick and the `target` is the user
+                being kicked).
+            room_id: The room in which to change the membership.
+            new_membership: The new membership state of `target` after this operation. See
+                https://spec.matrix.org/unstable/client-server-api/#mroommember for the
+                list of allowed values.

+            ShadowBanError if a shadow-banned requester attempts to send an invite.
+            SynapseError if the module attempts to send a membership event that isn't
+                allowed, either by the server's configuration (e.g. trying to set a
+                per-room display name that's too long) or by the validation rules around
