ChimeSDKMessaging.Client.create_channel_membership(**kwargs)#

Adds a member 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 ARN of the AppInstanceUserArn or AppInstanceBot that makes the API call as the value in the header.
