Synopsis

Calls the Amazon Cognito Identity Provider GetUser API operation. This operation uses anonymous authentication and does not require credential parameters to be supplied.

Syntax

Get-CGIPUser
-AccessToken <String>
-Select <String>
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
-ClientConfig <AmazonCognitoIdentityProviderConfig>

Description

Gets the user attributes and metadata for a user. Authorize this action with a signed-in user's access token. It must include the scope aws.cognito.signin.user.admin. Amazon Cognito doesn't evaluate Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies in requests for this API operation. For this operation, you can't use IAM credentials to authorize requests, and you can't grant IAM permissions in policies. For more information about authorization models in Amazon Cognito, see Using the Amazon Cognito user pools API and user pool endpoints.

-AccessToken <String>
A non-expired access token for the user whose information you want to query.

-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is '*'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.CognitoIdentityProvider.Model.GetUserResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.CognitoIdentityProvider.Model.GetUserResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs). When supplied the cmdlet will attempt to read the default region to be used from the credential file's default profile.If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
Required?False
Position?212
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-Region <Object>
The system name of an AWS region or an AWSRegion instance. This governs the endpoint that will be used when calling service operations. Note that the AWS resources referenced in a call are usually region-specific.If the Region parameter is supplied the cmdlet ignores the ProfileLocation parameter.
Required?False
Position?211
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
AliasesRegionToCall
