Description

A relatively obvious one: I want to allow my users to use E2E for their own direct message channels. However, there seems to be no way to enable E2E (or even forced E2E) without making my users able to edit any room. What is the correct way to do this, or is there none?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing E2E and room-permission implementation, then determine whether direct-message E2E can be enabled without granting room-edit permissions. Done means the supported permission behavior and its limits are defined and covered by tests.
