title: Room Version 6
type: docs
weight: 60
---
This room version builds on [version 5](/rooms/v5) while changing various
authorization rules performed on events.
## Client considerations
There are no client considerations introduced in this room version. Clients
which implement the redaction algorithm locally should refer to the
[redactions](#redactions) section below for a full overview of the algorithm.
### Redactions
{{% added-in this=true %}} All significant meaning for `m.room.aliases`
has been removed from the redaction algorithm. The remaining rules are
the same as past room versions.
{{% rver-fragment name="v6-redactions" %}}
## Server implementation components
{{% boxes/warning %}}
The information contained in this section is strictly for server
implementors. Applications which use the Client-Server API are generally
unaffected by the intricacies contained here. The section above
regarding client considerations is the resource that Client-Server API
use cases should reference.
{{% /boxes/warning %}}
Room version 6 makes the following alterations to algorithms described
in [room version 5](/rooms/v5).
### Redactions
[See above](#redactions).
### Authorization rules
`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
[Handling Redactions](#handling-redactions) section below for more information.
{{< added-in this=true >}} Rule 4, which related specifically to events
of type `m.room.aliases`, is removed. `m.room.aliases` events must still pass
authorization checks relating to state events.
{{< added-in this=true >}} Additionally, the authorization rules for events of
type `m.room.power_levels` now include a `notifications` property under
`content`. This updates rules 10.4 and 10.5 (now 9.4 and 9.5), which checked
the `events` property.
Events must be signed by the server denoted by the `sender` property.
The types of state events that affect authorization are:
- [`m.room.create`](/client-server-api#mroomcreate)
- [`m.room.member`](/client-server-api#mroommember)
- [`m.room.join_rules`](/client-server-api#mroom)
- [`m.room.power_levels`](/client-server-api#mroompower_levels)
- [`m.room.third_party_invite`](/client-server-api#mroomthird_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 `prev_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` property, 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 there is no `state_key` property, or no `membership` property in
`content`, reject.
2. 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 `public`, allow.
6. Otherwise, reject.
3. If `membership` is `invite`:
1. If `content` has a `third_party_invite` property:
1. If *target user* is banned, reject.
2. If `content.third_party_invite` does not have a `signed`
property, reject.
3. If `signed` does not have `mxid` and `token` properties,
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` property.
2. A list of public keys in the `public_keys` property.
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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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 the `users` property in `content` is not an object 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 properties `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. {{< changed-in this="true" >}}
For each entry being changed in, or removed from, the `events` or
`notifications` properties:
1. If the current value is greater than the `sender`'s current
power level, reject.
5. {{< changed-in this="true" >}}
For each entry being added to, or changed in, the `events` or
`notifications` properties:
1. If the new value is greater than the `sender`'s current power
level, reject.
6. For each entry being changed in, or removed from, the `users` property,
other than the `sender`'s own entry:
1. If the current value is greater than or equal to the `sender`'s
current power level, reject.
7. For each entry being added to, or changed in, the `users` property:
1. If the new value is greater than the `sender`'s current power
level, reject.
8. 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.
