For those events still accepted by the bridge, the error must be revoked by a
`m.bridge_error_revoke` as described in the previous chapter.

**Note:** For this to work, the homeserver is required to impersonate a user of
the bridge as it has no agent of its own. The impersonated user would be the
bridge bot user or one of the virtual users in the bridge's namespace.

### Rights management

Only bridges should be allowed to send bridge errors and revocations.
