Room version 7 adds new authorization rules for events to support knocking. Room version 6 has details of other authorization rule changes, as do the versions v6 is based upon.
For checks perfomed upon m.room.member events, the following conditions
are added in context:
If type is `m.room.member`:
...
* If `membership` is `ban`:
...
* If `membership` is `knock`:
i. If the `join_rule` is anything other than `knock`, reject.
ii. If `sender` does not match `state_key`, reject.
iii. If the `sender`'s current membership is not `ban`, `invite`, or `join`, allow.
iv. Otherwise, reject.
...
The remaining rules are the same as in room version 6.
