### Description
Administrator users cannot remove some rooms that were created by application services from the public directory.
### Steps to reproduce
- Install an appservice such as matrix-appservice-discord.
- Join a bridged room so that an entry is created in the public room directory.
- Open the room directory in Riot and select the current homeserver.
- Shift+click on the room and confirm the deletion.
- This results in "Error: This alias is reserved by an application service.".
Administrators should be allowed to remove any room from the directory.
### Version information

- **Version**: v1.0.0
- **Install method**: NixOS module and package.
- **Platform**: NixOS
