Research direction

Start by locating the bridge code that handles room invitations and the checks for admin rooms and manageConnections permissions. Confirm the expected behavior from issue 918: an inviter without manageConnections should have non-admin-room invites rejected; done when that behavior is covered by an appropriate test.
