create-members¶

Description¶

CreateMembers is used to send invitations to accounts. For the organization behavior graph, the Detective administrator account uses CreateMembers to enable organization accounts as member accounts.

For invited accounts, CreateMembers sends a request to invite the specified Amazon Web Services accounts to be member accounts in the behavior graph. This operation can only be called by the administrator account for a behavior graph.

CreateMembers verifies the accounts and then invites the verified accounts. The administrator can optionally specify to not send invitation emails to the member accounts. This would be used when the administrator manages their member accounts centrally.

For organization accounts in the organization behavior graph, CreateMembers attempts to enable the accounts. The organization accounts do not receive invitations.

The request provides the behavior graph ARN and the list of accounts to invite or to enable.

The response separates the requested accounts into two lists:

The accounts that CreateMembers was able to process. For invited accounts, includes member accounts that are being verified, that have passed verification and are to be invited, and that have failed verification. For organization accounts in the organization behavior graph, includes accounts that can be enabled and that cannot be enabled.
The accounts that CreateMembers was unable to process. This list includes accounts that were already invited to be member accounts in the behavior graph.

Synopsis¶

  create-members
--graph-arn <value>
[--message <value>]
[--disable-email-notification | --no-disable-email-notification]
--accounts <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--graph-arn (string)

The ARN of the behavior graph.

--message (string)

Customized message text to include in the invitation email message to the invited member accounts.

--disable-email-notification | --no-disable-email-notification (boolean)

if set to true , then the invited accounts do not receive email notifications. By default, this is set to false , and the invited accounts receive email notifications.

Organization accounts in the organization behavior graph do not receive email notifications.

--accounts (list)

The list of Amazon Web Services accounts to invite or to enable. You can invite or enable up to 50 accounts at a time. For each invited account, the account list contains the account identifier and the Amazon Web Services account root user email address. For organization accounts in the organization behavior graph, the email address is not required.

(structure)

An Amazon Web Services account that is the administrator account of or a member of a behavior graph.

AccountId -> (string)

The account identifier of the Amazon Web Services account.

EmailAddress -> (string)

The Amazon Web Services account root user email address for the Amazon Web Services account.

Shorthand Syntax:

AccountId=string,EmailAddress=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "AccountId": "string",
    "EmailAddress": "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. 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.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To invite member accounts to a behavior graph

The following create-members example invites two AWS accounts to become member accounts in the behavior graph arn:aws:detective:us-east-1:111122223333:graph:123412341234. For each account, the request provides the AWS account ID and the account root user email address. The request includes a custom message to insert into the invitation email.

aws detective create-members \
    --accounts AccountId=444455556666,EmailAddress=mmajor@example.com AccountId=123456789012,EmailAddress=jstiles@example.com \
    --graph-arn arn:aws:detective:us-east-1:111122223333:graph:123412341234 \
    --message "This is Paul Santos. I need to add your account to the data we use for security investigation in Amazon Detective. If you have any questions, contact me at psantos@example.com."

The Amazon Web Services account identifier of the administrator account for the behavior graph.

Status -> (string)

The current membership status of the member account. The status can have one of the following values:

INVITED - For invited accounts only. Indicates that the member was sent an invitation but has not yet responded.

VERIFICATION_IN_PROGRESS - For invited accounts only, indicates that Detective is verifying that the account identifier and email address provided for the member account match. If they do match, then Detective sends the invitation. If the email address and account identifier don’t match, then the member cannot be added to the behavior graph. For organization accounts in the organization behavior graph, indicates that Detective is verifying that the account belongs to the organization.

VERIFICATION_FAILED - For invited accounts only. Indicates that the account and email address provided for the member account do not match, and Detective did not send an invitation to the account.

ENABLED - Indicates that the member account currently contributes data to the behavior graph. For invited accounts, the member account accepted the invitation. For organization accounts in the organization behavior graph, the Detective administrator account enabled the organization account as a member account.

ACCEPTED_BUT_DISABLED - The account accepted the invitation, or was enabled by the Detective administrator account, but is prevented from contributing data to the behavior graph. DisabledReason provides the reason why the member account is not enabled.

Invited accounts that declined an invitation or that were removed from the behavior graph are not included. In the organization behavior graph, organization accounts that the Detective administrator account did not enable are not included.

DisabledReason -> (string)

For member accounts with a status of ACCEPTED_BUT_DISABLED , the reason that the member account is not enabled.

The reason can have one of the following values:

VOLUME_TOO_HIGH - Indicates that adding the member account would cause the data volume for the behavior graph to be too high.

VOLUME_UNKNOWN - Indicates that Detective is unable to verify the data volume for the member account. This is usually because the member account is not enrolled in Amazon GuardDuty.

InvitedTime -> (timestamp)

For invited accounts, the date and time that Detective sent the invitation to the account. The value is an ISO8601 formatted string. For example, 2021-08-18T16:35:56.284Z .

The data volume in bytes per day for the member account.

VolumeUsageUpdatedTime -> (timestamp)

The data and time when the member account data volume was last updated. The value is an ISO8601 formatted string. For example, 2021-08-18T16:35:56.284Z .

PercentOfGraphUtilization -> (double)

The member account data volume as a percentage of the maximum allowed data volume. 0 indicates 0 percent, and 100 indicates 100 percent.
