Passing Authenticated Users to SendBird from Django Rest Framework

Question

I have a Django DRF serving APIs and an Angular front end for a solution I am developing. I want to integrate SendBird Chat API into the application to allow authenticated users to chat to each other.

SendBird has a JavaScript API which I can use, but my query is how are my authenticated user details passed to SendGrid, e.g. if user X logins into website and user Y logs into website - how do I allow them to talk to each other.

I am pretty sure I've misunderstood something around sessions but any help is appreciated.

I am not looking for a specific code answer but a general architectural answer.

The process to pass your user's details to SendBird should follow these steps:

Create a SendBird user account via the Platform API when your user signs up on your service.
Save the access token to your secured persistent store.
Load the access token in your client and pass it to the SendBird login method.
Periodically update your access token by issuing a new token to replace the previous one.

You can find more details about it here.
