modify-identity-id-format

Description

Modifies the ID format of a resource for a specified IAM user, IAM role, or the root user for an account; or all IAM users, IAM roles, and the root user for an account. You can specify that resources should receive longer IDs (17-character IDs) when they are created.

This request can only be used to modify longer ID settings for resource types that are within the opt-in period. Resources currently in their opt-in period include: bundle | conversion-task | customer-gateway | dhcp-options | elastic-ip-allocation | elastic-ip-association | export-task | flow-log | image | import-task | internet-gateway | network-acl | network-acl-association | network-interface | network-interface-attachment | prefix-list | route-table | route-table-association | security-group | subnet | subnet-cidr-block-association | vpc | vpc-cidr-block-association | vpc-endpoint | vpc-peering-connection | vpn-connection | vpn-gateway .

For more information, see Resource IDs in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

This setting applies to the principal specified in the request; it does not apply to the principal that makes the request.

Resources created with longer IDs are visible to all IAM roles and users, regardless of these settings and provided that they have permission to use the relevant Describe command for the resource type.

Synopsis

  modify-identity-id-format
--principal-arn <value>
--resource <value>
--use-long-ids | --no-use-long-ids
[--cli-input-json <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--principal-arn (string)

The ARN of the principal, which can be an IAM user, IAM role, or the root user. Specify all to modify the ID format for all IAM users, IAM roles, and the root user of the account.

--resource (string)

The type of resource: bundle | conversion-task | customer-gateway | dhcp-options | elastic-ip-allocation | elastic-ip-association | export-task | flow-log | image | import-task | internet-gateway | network-acl | network-acl-association | network-interface | network-interface-attachment | prefix-list | route-table | route-table-association | security-group | subnet | subnet-cidr-block-association | vpc | vpc-cidr-block-association | vpc-endpoint | vpc-peering-connection | vpn-connection | vpn-gateway .

Alternatively, use the all-current option to include all resource types that are currently within their opt-in period for longer IDs.

--use-long-ids | --no-use-long-ids (boolean)

Indicates whether the resource should use longer IDs (17-character IDs)

--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.

See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To enable an IAM role to use longer IDs for a resource

The following modify-identity-id-format example enables the IAM role EC2Role in your AWS account to use long ID format for the instance resource type.

aws ec2 modify-identity-id-format \
    --principal-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/EC2Role \
    --resource instance \
    --use-long-ids

To enable an IAM user to use longer IDs for a resource

The following modify-identity-id-format example enables the IAM user AdminUser in your AWS account to use the longer ID format for the volume resource type.

aws ec2 modify-identity-id-format \
    --principal-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/AdminUser \
    --resource volume \
    --use-long-ids

The following modify-identity-id-format example enables the IAM user AdminUser in your AWS account to use the longer ID format for all supported resource types that are within their opt-in period.

aws ec2 modify-identity-id-format \
    --principal-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/AdminUser \
    --resource all-current \
    --use-long-ids
