list-principals

Description

Lists the principals that you are sharing resources with or that are sharing resources with you.

See also: AWS API Documentation

list-principals is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument. When using --output text and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: principals

Options

--resource-owner (string)

Specifies that you want to list information for only resource shares that match the following:

  • **SELF ** – principals that your account is sharing resources with

  • **OTHER-ACCOUNTS ** – principals that are sharing resources with your account

Possible values:

  • SELF

  • OTHER-ACCOUNTS

--resource-arn (string)

Specifies that you want to list principal information for the resource share with the specified Amazon Resoure Name (ARN) .

--principals (list)

Specifies that you want to list information for only the listed principals.

You can include the following values:

  • An Amazon Web Services account ID, for example: 123456789012

  • An Amazon Resoure Name (ARN) of an organization in Organizations, for example: organizations::123456789012:organization/o-exampleorgid

  • An ARN of an organizational unit (OU) in Organizations, for example: organizations::123456789012:ou/o-exampleorgid/ou-examplerootid-exampleouid123

  • An ARN of an IAM role, for example: iam::123456789012:role/rolename

  • An ARN of an IAM user, for example: iam::123456789012user/username

Note

Not all resource types can be shared with IAM roles and users. For more information, see Sharing with IAM roles and users in the Resource Access Manager User Guide .

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--resource-type (string)

Specifies that you want to list information for only principals associated with resource shares that include the specified resource type.

For a list of valid values, query the ListResourceTypes operation.

--resource-share-arns (list)

Specifies that you want to list information for only principals associated with the resource shares specified by a list the Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) .

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "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.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command’s output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command’s output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command’s output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--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.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json

  • text

  • table

  • yaml

  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on

  • off

  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64

  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input 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 list principals with access to a resource

The following list-principals example displays a list of the principals that can access resources of the specified type through any resource shares.

aws ram list-principals \
    --resource-type ec2:Subnet

Output:

{
    "principals": [
        {
            "id": "arn:aws:organizations::123456789012:ou/o-gx7EXAMPLE/ou-29c5-zEXAMPLE",
            "resourceShareArn": "arn:aws:ram:us-west-2:123456789012:resource-share/7ab63972-b505-7e2a-420d-6f5d3EXAMPLE",
            "creationTime": 1565298209.737,
            "lastUpdatedTime": 1565298211.019,
            "external": false
        }
    ]
}

Output

principals -> (list)

An array of objects that contain the details about the principals.

(structure)

Describes a principal for use with Resource Access Manager.

id -> (string)

The ID of the principal.

resourceShareArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resoure Name (ARN) of a resource share the principal is associated with.

creationTime -> (timestamp)

The date and time when the principal was associated with the resource share.

lastUpdatedTime -> (timestamp)

The date and time when the association was last updated.

external -> (boolean)

Indicates whether the principal belongs to the same organization in Organizations as the Amazon Web Services account that owns the resource share.

nextToken -> (string)

If present, this value indicates that more output is available than is included in the current response. Use this value in the NextToken request parameter in a subsequent call to the operation to get the next part of the output. You should repeat this until the NextToken response element comes back as null . This indicates that this is the last page of results.
