Client

class IdentityStore.Client

A low-level client representing AWS SSO Identity Store (IdentityStore)

The Identity Store service used by AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS Single Sign-On) provides a single place to retrieve all of your identities (users and groups). For more information, see the IAM Identity Center User Guide .

Note

Although AWS Single Sign-On was renamed, the sso and identitystore API namespaces will continue to retain their original name for backward compatibility purposes. For more information, see IAM Identity Center rename .

This reference guide describes the identity store operations that you can call programatically and includes detailed information on data types and errors.

import boto3

client = boto3.client('identitystore')

These are the available methods:

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
close()

Closes underlying endpoint connections.

describe_group(**kwargs)

Retrieves the group metadata and attributes from GroupId in an identity store.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.describe_group(
    IdentityStoreId='string',
    GroupId='string'
)
Parameters
  • IdentityStoreId (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The globally unique identifier for the identity store, such as d-1234567890 . In this example, d- is a fixed prefix, and 1234567890 is a randomly generated string that contains number and lower case letters. This value is generated at the time that a new identity store is created.

  • GroupId (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The identifier for a group in the identity store.

Return type

dict

Returns

Response Syntax

{
    'GroupId': 'string',
    'DisplayName': 'string'
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • GroupId (string) --

      The identifier for a group in the identity store.

    • DisplayName (string) --

      Contains the group’s display name value. The length limit is 1,024 characters. This value can consist of letters, accented characters, symbols, numbers, punctuation, tab, new line, carriage return, space, and nonbreaking space in this attribute. The characters <>;:% are excluded. This value is specified at the time that the group is created and stored as an attribute of the group object in the identity store.

Exceptions

  • IdentityStore.Client.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundException
  • IdentityStore.Client.exceptions.ValidationException
  • IdentityStore.Client.exceptions.AccessDeniedException
  • IdentityStore.Client.exceptions.ThrottlingException
  • IdentityStore.Client.exceptions.InternalServerException
describe_user(**kwargs)

Retrieves the user metadata and attributes from UserId in an identity store.

Request Syntax

response = client.describe_user(
    IdentityStoreId='string',
    UserId='string'
)
Parameters

get_paginator(operation_name)

Create a paginator for an operation.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Raises OperationNotPageableError
Raised if the operation is not pageable. You can use the client.can_paginate method to check if an operation is pageable.
Return type
L{botocore.paginate.Paginator}
Returns
A paginator object.
get_waiter(waiter_name)

Returns an object that can wait for some condition.

Parameters

list_groups(**kwargs)
