The Amazon Chime SDK Identity, Media Pipelines, Meetings, and Messaging APIs are now published on the new Amazon Chime SDK API Reference. For more information, see the Amazon Chime SDK API Reference.
CreateChannelMembership
Adds a user to a channel. The InvitedBy
response field 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.
Important
This API is no longer supported and will not be updated. We recommend using the latest version, CreateChannelMembership, in the Amazon Chime SDK.
Using the latest version requires migrating to a dedicated namespace. For more information, refer to Migrating from the Amazon Chime namespace in the Amazon Chime SDK Developer Guide.
