Creates an EFS access point. An access point is an application-specific view into an EFS file system that applies an operating system user and group, and a file system path, to any file system request made through the access point. The operating system user and group override any identity information provided by the NFS client. The file system path is exposed as the access point's root directory. Applications using the access point can only access data in the application's own directory and any subdirectories. A file system can have a maximum of 10,000 access points unless you request an increase. To learn more, see Mounting a file system using EFS access points.

If multiple requests to create access points on the same file system are sent in quick succession, and the file system is near the limit of access points, you may experience a throttling response for these requests. This is to ensure that the file system does not exceed the stated access point limit.

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:CreateAccessPoint action.

Access points can be tagged on creation. If tags are specified in the creation action, IAM performs additional authorization on the elasticfilesystem:TagResource action to verify if users have permissions to create tags. Therefore, you must grant explicit permissions to use the elasticfilesystem:TagResource action. For more information, see Granting permissions to tag resources during creation.

Note:

This is an asynchronous operation using the standard naming convention for .NET 4.7.2 or higher.
