AWS SSO Identity Store

Description

IAM Identity Center uses the sso, sso-directory, and identitystore API namespaces. The sso-directory and identitystore namespaces authorize access to data in the Identity Store. Make sure your policies with IAM actions from these two namespaces are consistent to avoid conflicting authorization to the same data.

The Identity Store service used by IAM Identity Center provides a single place to retrieve all of your identities (users and groups). You can use the identity store API operations in this guide to manage your identity data programmatically. The scope of these APIs allows you to create, read, update, delete, and list users, groups, and memberships.

This guide also describes identity store operations that you can call and includes detailed information about data types and errors.

If you use an external identity provider or Active Directory as your identity source, we recommend that you use the Create, Update, and Delete APIs with caution. Because IAM Identity Center doesn't support outbound synchronization, your identity source won't automatically update with the changes that you make to users or groups using these APIs.

Amazon Web Services provides SDKs that consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms (Java, Ruby, .Net, iOS, Android, and more). The SDKs provide a convenient way to programmatically access the identity store and other Amazon Web Services services. For more information about the Amazon Web Services SDKs, including how to download and install them, see Amazon Web Services Builder Center Toolbox.

Usage

identitystore(
  config = list(),
  credentials = list(),
  endpoint = NULL,
  region = NULL
)

Arguments

  • config

    Optional configuration of credentials, endpoint, and/or region.

    • credentials:
      • creds:
        • access_key_id: AWS access key ID
        • secret_access_key: AWS secret access key
        • session_token: AWS temporary session token
      • profile: The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.
      • anonymous: Set anonymous credentials.
    • endpoint: The complete URL to use for the constructed client.
    • region: The AWS Region used in instantiating the client.
    • close_connection: Immediately close all HTTP connections.
    • timeout: The time in seconds till a timeout exception is thrown when attempting to make a connection. The default is 60 seconds.
    • s3_force_path_style: Set this to true to force the request to use path-style addressing, i.e. http://s3.amazonaws.com/BUCKET/KEY.
    • sts_regional_endpoint: Set sts regional endpoint resolver to regional or legacy https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-sts-regionalized-endpoints.html
    • use_dual_stack: Set this to true to use the dualstack (IPv4 and IPv6) endpoint for a service, where available, falling back to the regular endpoint when it isn't. Defaults to the AWS_USE_DUALSTACK_ENDPOINT environment variable when unset.
  • credentials

    Optional credentials shorthand for the config parameter

    • creds:
      • access_key_id: AWS access key ID
      • secret_access_key: AWS secret access key
      • session_token: AWS temporary session token
    • profile: The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.
    • anonymous: Set anonymous credentials.
  • endpoint

    Optional shorthand for complete URL to use for the constructed client.

  • region

    Optional shorthand for AWS Region used in instantiating the client.

Value

A client for the service. You can call the service's operations using syntax like svc$operation(...), where svc is the name you've assigned to the client. The available operations are listed in the Operations section.
