Allow Discord server admins to approve bridges

[CorpulentBrony]

Recently set-up the bridge and noticed that it appears it is requiring the server owner approve the bridge, whereas the documentation states it's the Discord server's admins.

It would be preferable if the bot would allow any server administrator to approve it, since I happen to be an administrator on a server the owner abandoned. Alternatively, the documentation should be updated to state specifically that only the owner of the Discord server can approve the bridge.

It appears there may be something else going on here, I just tried to bridge a Discord server where I'm the owner, and I'm not even getting a message there either. How does one approve the bridge on the Discord side? Should the bot be sending Discord messages?

The bot should be sending a message in the Discord channel, yes.

Isn't happening, bot's saying nothing on Discord. Bot is present and appears online.

Double-checked that is the proper guild ID and channel ID, bot does exist in the guild with the default 607250432 perms.

Is it possible it's not recognizing newer snowflake IDs? Tried again in an older server I own and it accepts the guild ID but doesn't like the channel ID.

OK, I'm pretty sure the core of the problem is better-discord.js isn't finding rooms for some reason.

When I attempt to bridge from Matrix:

May be the same as #684

I still haven't been able to experience the Discord-side approval process, but if anyone with the Administrator privilege can approve the room then this issue is moot. However, if that's restricted only to server owner (as the message sent to Matrix implies), then I'd like the issue to remain focused on that.

Last time I did the self-serve bridge workflow, I was able to approve without being the owner.
