--group-name
(string)
The name of the group.
--user-pool-id
(string)
The user pool ID for the user pool.
--cli-input-json
(string)
Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI 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.
--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
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
--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. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.
--output
(string)
The formatting style for command output.
--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.
--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.
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 get information about a group
This example gets information about a group named MyGroup.
Command:
aws cognito-idp get-group --user-pool-id us-west-2_aaaaaaaaa --group-name MyGroup
Output:
{
"Group": {
"GroupName": "MyGroup",
"UserPoolId": "us-west-2_aaaaaaaaa",
"Description": "A sample group.",
"LastModifiedDate": 1548270073.795,
"CreationDate": 1548270073.795
}
}
Group -> (structure)
The group object for the group.
GroupName -> (string)
The name of the group.UserPoolId -> (string)
The user pool ID for the user pool.Description -> (string)
A string containing the description of the group.RoleArn -> (string)
The role Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the group.Precedence -> (integer)
A non-negative integer value that specifies the precedence of this group relative to the other groups that a user can belong to in the user pool. Zero is the highest precedence value. Groups with lower
Precedence
values take precedence over groups with higher ornullPrecedence
values. If a user belongs to two or more groups, it is the group with the lowest precedence value whose role ARN is given in the user's tokens for thecognito:roles
andcognito:preferred_role
claims.Two groups can have the same
Precedence
value. If this happens, neither group takes precedence over the other. If two groups with the samePrecedence
have the same role ARN, that role is used in thecognito:preferred_role
claim in tokens for users in each group. If the two groups have different role ARNs, thecognito:preferred_role
claim isn't set in users' tokens.The default
Precedence
value is null.LastModifiedDate -> (timestamp)
The date and time when the item was modified. Amazon Cognito returns this timestamp in UNIX epoch time format. Your SDK might render the output in a human-readable format like ISO 8601 or a JavaDate
object.CreationDate -> (timestamp)
The date and time when the item was created. Amazon Cognito returns this timestamp in UNIX epoch time format. Your SDK might render the output in a human-readable format like ISO 8601 or a JavaDate
object.
