Transfer / Client / describe_access
describe_access#
- Transfer.Client.describe_access(**kwargs)#
Describes the access that is assigned to the specific file transfer protocol-enabled server, as identified by its
ServerId
property and itsExternalId
.The response from this call returns the properties of the access that is associated with the
ServerId
value that was specified.See also: AWS API Documentation
Request Syntax
response = client.describe_access( ServerId='string', ExternalId='string' )
- Parameters:
ServerId (string) –
[REQUIRED]
A system-assigned unique identifier for a server that has this access assigned.
ExternalId (string) –
[REQUIRED]
A unique identifier that is required to identify specific groups within your directory. The users of the group that you associate have access to your Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS resources over the enabled protocols using Transfer Family. If you know the group name, you can view the SID values by running the following command using Windows PowerShell.
Get-ADGroup -Filter {samAccountName -like "YourGroupName*"} -Properties * | Select SamAccountName,ObjectSid
In that command, replace YourGroupName with the name of your Active Directory group.
The regular expression used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include underscores or any of the following characters: =,.@:/-
- Return type:
dict
- Returns:

Response Structure
(dict) –
ServerId (string) –
A system-assigned unique identifier for a server that has this access assigned.
Access (dict) –
The external identifier of the server that the access is attached to.
HomeDirectory (string) –
The landing directory (folder) for a user when they log in to the server using the client.
A
HomeDirectory
example is/bucket_name/home/mydirectory
.Note
The
HomeDirectory
parameter is only used ifHomeDirectoryType
is set toPATH
.HomeDirectoryMappings (list) –
Logical directory mappings that specify what Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS paths and keys should be visible to your user and how you want to make them visible. You must specify the
Entry
andTarget
pair, whereEntry
shows how the path is made visible andTarget
is the actual Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS path. If you only specify a target, it is displayed as is. You also must ensure that your Identity and Access Management (IAM) role provides access to paths inTarget
. This value can be set only whenHomeDirectoryType
is set to LOGICAL.In most cases, you can use this value instead of the session policy to lock down the associated access to the designated home directory (”
chroot
”). To do this, you can setEntry
to ‘/’ and setTarget
to theHomeDirectory
parameter value.(dict) –
Represents an object that contains entries and targets for
HomeDirectoryMappings
.The following is an
Entry
andTarget
pair example forchroot
.[ { "Entry": "/", "Target": "/bucket_name/home/mydirectory" } ]
Entry (string) –
Represents an entry for
HomeDirectoryMappings
.Target (string) –
Represents the map target that is used in a
HomeDirectorymapEntry
.
HomeDirectoryType (string) –
The type of landing directory (folder) that you want your users’ home directory to be when they log in to the server. If you set it to
PATH
, the user will see the absolute Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon EFS path as is in their file transfer protocol clients. If you set it toLOGICAL
, you need to provide mappings in theHomeDirectoryMappings
for how you want to make Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS paths visible to your users.Note
If
HomeDirectoryType
isLOGICAL
, you must provide mappings, using theHomeDirectoryMappings
parameter. If, on the other hand,HomeDirectoryType
isPATH
, you provide an absolute path using theHomeDirectory
parameter. You cannot have bothHomeDirectory
andHomeDirectoryMappings
in your template.Policy (string) –
A session policy for your user so that you can use the same Identity and Access Management (IAM) role across multiple users. This policy scopes down a user’s access to portions of their Amazon S3 bucket. Variables that you can use inside this policy include
${Transfer:UserName}
,${Transfer:HomeDirectory}
, and${Transfer:HomeBucket}
.PosixProfile (dict) –
The full POSIX identity, including user ID (
Uid
), group ID (Gid
), and any secondary groups IDs (SecondaryGids
), that controls your users’ access to your Amazon EFS file systems. The POSIX permissions that are set on files and directories in your file system determine the level of access your users get when transferring files into and out of your Amazon EFS file systems.Uid (integer) –
The POSIX user ID used for all EFS operations by this user.
Gid (integer) –
The POSIX group ID used for all EFS operations by this user.
SecondaryGids (list) –
The secondary POSIX group IDs used for all EFS operations by this user.
(integer) –
Role (string) –
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that controls your users’ access to your Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon EFS file system. The policies attached to this role determine the level of access that you want to provide your users when transferring files into and out of your Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon EFS file system. The IAM role should also contain a trust relationship that allows the server to access your resources when servicing your users’ transfer requests.
ExternalId (string) –
A unique identifier that is required to identify specific groups within your directory. The users of the group that you associate have access to your Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS resources over the enabled protocols using Transfer Family. If you know the group name, you can view the SID values by running the following command using Windows PowerShell.
Get-ADGroup -Filter {samAccountName -like "YourGroupName*"} -Properties * | Select SamAccountName,ObjectSid
In that command, replace YourGroupName with the name of your Active Directory group.
