See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  modify-user
--user-id <value>
[--access-string <value>]
[--append-access-string <value>]
[--passwords <value>]
[--no-password-required | --no-no-password-required]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--user-id (string)

The ID of the user.

--access-string (string)

Access permissions string used for this user.

--append-access-string (string)

Adds additional user permissions to the access string.

--passwords (list)

The passwords belonging to the user. You are allowed up to two.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--no-password-required | --no-no-password-required (boolean)

Indicates no password is required for the user.

--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.
