create_channel_membership

ChimeSDKMessaging.Client.create_channel_membership(**kwargs)

Adds a user to a channel. The InvitedBy field in ChannelMembership is derived from the request header. A channel member can:

• List messages
• Send messages
• Receive messages
• Edit their own messages
• Leave the channel

Privacy settings impact this action as follows:

• Public Channels: You do not need to be a member to list messages, but you must be a member to send messages.
• Private Channels: You must be a member to list or send messages.

Note

The x-amz-chime-bearer request header is mandatory. Use the AppInstanceUserArn of the user that makes the API call as the value in the header.
