--role-alias
(string)
The role alias that points to a role ARN. This allows you to change the role without having to update the device.
--role-arn
(string)
The role ARN.
--credential-duration-seconds
(integer)
How long (in seconds) the credentials will be valid. The default value is 3,600 seconds.
This value must be less than or equal to the maximum session duration of the IAM role that the role alias references.
--tags
(list)
Metadata which can be used to manage the role alias.
Note
For URI Request parameters use format: …key1=value1&key2=value2…
For the CLI command-line parameter use format: &&tags “key1=value1&key2=value2…”
For the cli-input-json file use format: “tags”: “key1=value1&key2=value2…”
(structure)
A set of key/value pairs that are used to manage the resource.
Key -> (string)
The tag’s key.
Value -> (string)
The tag’s value.
Shorthand Syntax:
Key=string,Value=string ...
JSON Syntax:
[
{
"Key": "string",
"Value": "string"
}
...
]
--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.

To create a role alias
The following create-role-alias
example creates a role alias called LightBulbRole
for the specified role.
aws iot create-role-alias \
--role-alias LightBulbRole \
--role-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/lightbulbrole-001
Output:
{
"roleAlias": "LightBulbRole",
"roleAliasArn": "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:rolealias/LightBulbRole"
}
