MSC4140 describes the delayed event management endpoints
(POST /delayed_events/{delay_id}/{cancel,restart,send}) as authenticated,
and scopes them to the requesting user. Make every management call on
a real delay ID, and the negative tests on an unknown delay ID, go
through the user who scheduled the event instead of the unauthenticated
client.
The only unauthenticated call left is the one asserting that the bulk
GET answers 401 without a token.
…coped Per MSC4140, the management endpoints are authenticated, and a delay ID that does not belong to the requesting user is answered with 404 M_NOT_FOUND. Add two tests: - without a token, each of cancel, restart and send answers 401, and the delayed event stays scheduled; - another user gets 404 for each action on someone else's delay ID, and the delayed event still fires on its original timeout. These need a homeserver that enforces both rules.
