createChannel

Create a channel. Whether the caller may create one is governed by the per-app channel policy (app_group_policies: admin | member | anyone). The caller becomes the owner with a system 'leader' role. When membersCanSend is true (default) a default 'member' role granting send_messages is created and auto-assigned to joiners (open chat channel); when false only roles you grant may post (announce/read-only channel). membersCanSpeak (default false) adds send_voice to that role, so members may send channel audio (party or guild voice); voice also needs the player's use_voice_chat.
