DescribedUser

Describes the properties of a user that was specified.

Arn

Specifies the unique Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the user that was requested to be described.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 20. Maximum length of 1600.

Pattern: arn:\S+

Required: Yes

HomeDirectory

The landing directory (folder) for a user when they log in to the server using the client.

A HomeDirectory example is /bucket_name/home/mydirectory.

Note

The HomeDirectory parameter is only used if HomeDirectoryType is set to PATH.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 1024.

Pattern: (|/.*)

Required: No

HomeDirectoryMappings

Logical directory mappings that specify what Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS paths and keys should be visible to your user and how you want to make them visible. You must specify the Entry and Target pair, where Entry shows how the path is made visible and Target is the actual Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS path. If you only specify a target, it is displayed as is. You also must ensure that your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role provides access to paths in Target. This value can be set only when HomeDirectoryType is set to LOGICAL.

In most cases, you can use this value instead of the session policy to lock your user down to the designated home directory ("chroot"). To do this, you can set Entry to '/' and set Target to the HomeDirectory parameter value.

Type: Array of HomeDirectoryMapEntry objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 50000 items.

Required: No

HomeDirectoryType

The type of landing directory (folder) that you want your users' home directory to be when they log in to the server. If you set it to PATH, the user will see the absolute Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon EFS path as is in their file transfer protocol clients. If you set it to LOGICAL, you need to provide mappings in the HomeDirectoryMappings for how you want to make Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS paths visible to your users.

Note

If HomeDirectoryType is LOGICAL, you must provide mappings, using the HomeDirectoryMappings parameter. If, on the other hand, HomeDirectoryType is PATH, you provide an absolute path using the HomeDirectory parameter. You cannot have both HomeDirectory and HomeDirectoryMappings in your template.

Type: String

Valid Values: PATH | LOGICAL

Required: No

Policy

A session policy for your user so that you can use the same AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role across multiple users. This policy scopes down a user's access to portions of their Amazon S3 bucket. Variables that you can use inside this policy include ${Transfer:UserName}, ${Transfer:HomeDirectory}, and ${Transfer:HomeBucket}.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 2048.

Required: No

PosixProfile

Specifies the full POSIX identity, including user ID (Uid), group ID (Gid), and any secondary groups IDs (SecondaryGids), that controls your users' access to your Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file systems. The POSIX permissions that are set on files and directories in your file system determine the level of access your users get when transferring files into and out of your Amazon EFS file systems.

Type: PosixProfile object

Required: No

Role

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that controls your users' access to your Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon EFS file system. The policies attached to this role determine the level of access that you want to provide your users when transferring files into and out of your Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon EFS file system. The IAM role should also contain a trust relationship that allows the server to access your resources when servicing your users' transfer requests.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 20. Maximum length of 2048.

Pattern: arn:.*role/\S+

Required: No

SshPublicKeys

Specifies the public key portion of the Secure Shell (SSH) keys stored for the described user.

Type: Array of SshPublicKey objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 5 items.

Required: No

Tags

Specifies the key-value pairs for the user requested. Tag can be used to search for and group users for a variety of purposes.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 50 items.

Required: No

UserName

Specifies the name of the user that was requested to be described. User names are used for authentication purposes. This is the string that will be used by your user when they log in to your server.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 3. Maximum length of 100.

Pattern: [\w][\w@.-]{2,99}

Required: No
