Creates an administrative terminal session with full access to the live runtime environment of the Amazon GameLift Streams stream session. Use the returned credentials (SessionId, StreamUrl and TokenValue) with the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Session Manager plugin for the CLI to access the terminal session.

The stream session must be in one of the following statuses: ACTIVE, CONNECTED, PENDING_CLIENT_RECONNECTION, or RECONNECTING.

The StreamUrl is valid for 60 seconds. After it expires, call this operation again to get a new URL.

The returned credentials grant full access to the live runtime environment of the Amazon GameLift Streams stream session. The operator who connects to the terminal session has the same level of access that your Amazon GameLift Streams applications have, including potentially user input, screen images, and application data files. Grant permissions to call this operation only to trusted IAM identities that require live runtime environment access.
