GETIDENTITYCONTEXT()`¶

About GetIdentityContext¶

Retrieves the identity context for a Quick Sight user in a specified namespace, allowing you to obtain identity tokens that can be used with identity-enhanced IAM role sessions to call identity-aware APIs.

Currently, you can call the following APIs with identity-enhanced Credentials

Supported Authentication Methods

This API supports Quick Sight native users, IAM federated users, and Active Directory users. For Quick Sight users authenticated by Amazon Web Services Identity Center, see Identity Center documentation on identity-enhanced IAM role sessions.

Getting Identity-Enhanced Credentials

To obtain identity-enhanced credentials, follow these steps:

Call the GetIdentityContext API to retrieve an identity token for the specified user.
Use the identity token with the STS AssumeRole API to obtain identity-enhanced IAM role session credentials.

Usage with STS AssumeRole

The identity token returned by this API should be used with the STS AssumeRole API to obtain credentials for an identity-enhanced IAM role session. When calling AssumeRole, include the identity token in the ProvidedContexts parameter with ProviderArn set to arn:aws:iam::aws:contextProvider/QuickSight and ContextAssertion set to the identity token received from this API.

The assumed role must allow the sts:SetContext action in addition to sts:AssumeRole in its trust relationship policy. The trust policy should include both actions for the principal that will be assuming the role.

IMPORTING¶

Required arguments:¶

`iv_awsaccountid` `TYPE /AWS1/QSTAWSACCOUNTID` `/AWS1/QSTAWSACCOUNTID`¶

The ID for the Amazon Web Services account that the user whose identity context you want to retrieve is in. Currently, you use the ID for the Amazon Web Services account that contains your Quick Sight account.

`io_useridentifier` `TYPE REF TO /AWS1/CL_QSTUSERIDENTIFIER` `/AWS1/CL_QSTUSERIDENTIFIER`¶

The identifier for the user whose identity context you want to retrieve.

Optional arguments:¶

`iv_namespace` `TYPE /AWS1/QSTNAMESPACE` `/AWS1/QSTNAMESPACE`¶

The namespace of the user that you want to get identity context for. This parameter is required when the UserIdentifier is specified using Email or UserName.

`iv_sessionexpiresat` `TYPE /AWS1/QSTTIMESTAMP00` `/AWS1/QSTTIMESTAMP00`¶

The timestamp at which the session will expire.

RETURNING¶

`oo_output` `TYPE REF TO /aws1/cl_qstgetidcontextrsp` `/AWS1/CL_QSTGETIDCONTEXTRSP`¶

Domain /AWS1/RT_ACCOUNT_ID

Primitive Type NUMC

Syntax Example¶

This is an example of the syntax for calling the method. It includes every possible argument and initializes every possible value. The data provided is not necessarily semantically accurate (for example the value "string" may be provided for something that is intended to be an instance ID, or in some cases two arguments may be mutually exclusive). The syntax shows the ABAP syntax for creating the various data structures.

DATA(lo_result) = lo_client->getidentitycontext(
  io_useridentifier = new /aws1/cl_qstuseridentifier(
    iv_email = |string|
    iv_userarn = |string|
    iv_username = |string|
  )
  iv_awsaccountid = |string|
  iv_namespace = |string|
  iv_sessionexpiresat = '20150101000000.0000000'
).

This is an example of reading all possible response values

lo_result = lo_result.
IF lo_result IS NOT INITIAL.
  lv_statuscode2 = lo_result->get_status( ).
  lv_string = lo_result->get_requestid( ).
  lv_string = lo_result->get_context( ).
ENDIF.
