[ aws . cognito-identity ]

merge-developer-identities

Description

Merges two users having different IdentityId s, existing in the same identity pool, and identified by the same developer provider. You can use this action to request that discrete users be merged and identified as a single user in the Cognito environment. Cognito associates the given source user (SourceUserIdentifier ) with the IdentityId of the DestinationUserIdentifier . Only developer-authenticated users can be merged. If the users to be merged are associated with the same public provider, but as two different users, an exception will be thrown.

The number of linked logins is limited to 20. So, the number of linked logins for the source user, SourceUserIdentifier , and the destination user, DestinationUserIdentifier , together should not be larger than 20. Otherwise, an exception will be thrown.

You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.

Synopsis

  merge-developer-identities
--source-user-identifier <value>
--destination-user-identifier <value>
--developer-provider-name <value>
--identity-pool-id <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--source-user-identifier (string)

User identifier for the source user. The value should be a DeveloperUserIdentifier .

--destination-user-identifier (string)

User identifier for the destination user. The value should be a DeveloperUserIdentifier .

--developer-provider-name (string)

The “domain” by which Cognito will refer to your users. This is a (pseudo) domain name that you provide while creating an identity pool. This name acts as a placeholder that allows your backend and the Cognito service to communicate about the developer provider. For the DeveloperProviderName , you can use letters as well as period (.), underscore (_), and dash (-).

--identity-pool-id (string)

An identity pool ID in the format REGION:GUID.

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Output

IdentityId -> (string)

A unique identifier in the format REGION:GUID.
