Required. The membership relation to create. The memberType field must contain a user with the user.name and user.type fields populated. The server will assign a resource name and overwrite anything specified. When a Chat app creates a membership relation for a human user, it must use certain authorization scopes and set specific values for certain fields: - When authenticating as a user, the chat.memberships authorization scope is required. - When authenticating as an app, the chat.app.memberships authorization scope is required. - Set user.type to HUMAN, and set user.name with format users/{user}, where {user} can be the email address for the user. For users in the same Workspace organization {user} can also be the id of the person from the People API, or the id for the user in the Directory API. For example, if the People API Person profile ID for user@example.com is 123456789, you can add the user to the space by setting the membership.member.name to users/user@example.com or users/123456789. Inviting users external to the Workspace organization that owns the space requires user authentication. When a Chat app creates a membership relation for itself, it must authenticate as a user and use the chat.memberships.app scope, set user.type to BOT, and set user.name to users/app.
