Shares a specified directory (DirectoryId
) in your Amazon Web Services account (directory owner) with another Amazon Web Services account (directory consumer). With this operation you can use your directory from any Amazon Web Services account and from any Amazon VPC within an Amazon Web Services Region.
When you share your Managed Microsoft AD directory, Directory Service creates a shared directory in the directory consumer account. This shared directory contains the metadata to provide access to the directory within the directory owner account. The shared directory is visible in all VPCs in the directory consumer account.
The ShareMethod
parameter determines whether the specified directory can be shared between Amazon Web Services accounts inside the same Amazon Web Services organization (ORGANIZATIONS
). It also determines whether you can share the directory with any other Amazon Web Services account either inside or outside of the organization (HANDSHAKE
).
The ShareNotes
parameter is only used when HANDSHAKE
is called, which sends a directory sharing request to the directory consumer.

[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
--directory-id
(string)
Identifier of the Managed Microsoft AD directory that you want to share with other Amazon Web Services accounts.
--share-notes
(string)
A directory share request that is sent by the directory owner to the directory consumer. The request includes a typed message to help the directory consumer administrator determine whether to approve or reject the share invitation.
--share-target
(structure)
Identifier for the directory consumer account with whom the directory is to be shared.
Id -> (string)
Identifier of the directory consumer account.
Type -> (string)
Type of identifier to be used in the
Id
field.
Shorthand Syntax:
Id=string,Type=string
JSON Syntax:
{
"Id": "string",
"Type": "ACCOUNT"
}
--share-method
(string)
The method used when sharing a directory to determine whether the directory should be shared within your Amazon Web Services organization (
ORGANIZATIONS
) or with any Amazon Web Services account by sending a directory sharing request (HANDSHAKE
).Possible values:
ORGANIZATIONS
HANDSHAKE
--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.
SharedDirectoryId -> (string)
Identifier of the directory that is stored in the directory consumer account that is shared from the specified directory (
DirectoryId
).
