* Once the value of this property is set, it's irreversible.

For more information on how to make the request, refer to request body and response samples for sending a message.

custom_type

require_auth

boolean

Determines whether the files and thumbnail images in a message are only accessible by users who are in the same channel. This property is only effective when using the share encrypted files feature. This feature encrypts any type of uploaded files and the automatically-generated thumbnail images with AES256, stores them securely in the Sendbird server, and enables only the users with access to share the files. You can use the property to restrict access to the files.

If set to true, the files are uploaded first, then encrypted, and finally stored along with the thumbnail images which are encrypted as well. When accessing them, the parameter auth, which is specified with an encryption key of the user such as ?auth=RW5b2RIHaMdGV4eA==, should be added to the end of the file URLs. An encryption key managed internally by the Sendbird system is generated every time a user logs in to the Sendbird server and is valid for three days starting from the last login. The system mainly uses the key to check if a user is properly accessing the data of the application. (Default: true)
