CreateChannelBan

Permanently bans a member from a channel. Moderators can't add banned members to a channel. To undo a ban, you first have to DeleteChannelBan, and then CreateChannelMembership. Bans are cleaned up when you delete users or channels.

If you ban a user who is already part of a channel, that user is automatically kicked from the channel.

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, CreateChannelBan, 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.
