Creates a new user profile.
Required Permissions : To use this action, an IAM user must have an attached policy that explicitly grants permissions. For more information about user permissions, see Managing User Permissions .

--iam-user-arn
(string)
The user’s IAM ARN; this can also be a federated user’s ARN.
--ssh-username
(string)
The user’s SSH user name. The allowable characters are [a-z], [A-Z], [0-9], ‘-‘, and ‘_’. If the specified name includes other punctuation marks, AWS OpsWorks Stacks removes them. For example,
my.name
will be changed tomyname
. If you do not specify an SSH user name, AWS OpsWorks Stacks generates one from the IAM user name.
--ssh-public-key
(string)
The user’s public SSH key.
--allow-self-management
| --no-allow-self-management
(boolean)
Whether users can specify their own SSH public key through the My Settings page. For more information, see Setting an IAM User’s Public SSH Key .
--cli-input-json
| --cli-input-yaml
(string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml
.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. Similarly, if provided yaml-input
it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
To create a user profile
You import an AWS Identity and Access Manager (IAM) user into AWS OpsWorks by calling create-user-profile to create a user profile.
The following example creates a user profile for the cli-user-test IAM user, who
is identified by Amazon Resource Name (ARN). The example assigns the user an SSH username of myusername
and enables self management,
which allows the user to specify an SSH public key.
aws opsworks --region us-east-1 create-user-profile --iam-user-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789102:user/cli-user-test --ssh-username myusername --allow-self-management
Output:
{
"IamUserArn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789102:user/cli-user-test"
}
Tip: This command imports an IAM user into AWS OpsWorks, but only with the permissions that are
granted by the attached policies. You can grant per-stack AWS OpsWorks permissions by using the set-permissions
command.
