Chime Client - Unable to create user

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug Using the Chime client from boto3, the create_user call always raises

An error occurred (BadRequestException) when calling the CreateUser operation: Service received a bad request

Steps to reproduce

accountid = client.list_accounts()['Accounts'][0]['AccountId']
client.create_user(AccountId=accountid, Email="valid@email.com", UserType="PrivateUser", Username="Matiboy")

Note that the email address belongs to a validated domain

Expected behavior User is created

@matiboy - You can use this api https://docs.aws.amazon.com/chime/latest/APIReference/API_InviteUsers.html which invites the user to your account. So that if that user logs in they will automatically be part of the team of the person that invited them.

With an enterprise account, any users that register for Amazon Chime with an email address for your claimed domains are automatically added to your account. So if they just login they will automatically be joined into that account and you do not have to invite the user.

These document have some more information: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/chime/latest/ag/manage-access.html

Hope this helps.
