Creates a human membership or app membership for the calling app. Creating memberships for other apps is not supported. Requires user authentication and the chat.memberships (for human membership) or chat.memberships.app (for app membership) scope.

To specify the member to add, set the membership.member.name in the CreateMembershipRequest:

  • To add the calling app to the space, use users/app.

  • To add a human user, use users/{user}, where {user} is either the {person_id} for the person from the People API, or the id for the user in the Admin SDK Directory API. For example, if the People API Person resourceName is people/123456789, the user can be added to the space by setting the membership.member.name to users/123456789.
