Field

Type

Description

user

object

A structure with details about the new IAM user.

Path [required]

string

The path to the user. For more information about paths, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide. The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user.

UserName [required]

string

The friendly name identifying the user.

UserId [required]

string

The stable and unique string identifying the user. For more information about IDs, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide.

Arn [required]

string

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the user. For more information about ARNs and how to use ARNs in policies, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide.

CreateDate [required]

date-time

The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the user was created.

PasswordLastUsed

date-time

The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the user's password was last used to sign in to an Amazon Web Services website. For a list of Amazon Web Services websites that capture a user's last sign-in time, see the Credential reports topic in the IAM User Guide. If a password is used more than once in a five-minute span, only the first use is returned in this field. If the field is null (no value), then it indicates that they never signed in with a password. This can be because:

  • The user never had a password.
  • A password exists but has not been used since IAM started tracking this information on October 20, 2014.
    A null value does not mean that the user never had a password. Also, if the user does not currently have a password but had one in the past, then this field contains the date and time the most recent password was used. This value is returned only in the GetUser and ListUsers operations.

PermissionsBoundary

object

For more information about permissions boundaries, see Permissions boundaries for IAM identities in the IAM User Guide.

PermissionsBoundaryType

string

The permissions boundary usage type that indicates what type of IAM resource is used as the permissions boundary for an entity. This data type can only have a value of Policy.

PermissionsBoundaryArn

string

The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user or role.

Tags

[object]

A list of tags that are associated with the user. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide.

Key [required]

string

The key name that can be used to look up or retrieve the associated value. For example, Department or Cost Center are common choices.

Value [required]

string

The value associated with this tag. For example, tags with a key name of Department could have values such as Human Resources, Accounting, and Support. Tags with a key name of Cost Center might have values that consist of the number associated with the different cost centers in your company. Typically, many resources have tags with the same key name but with different values.
Amazon Web Services always interprets the tag Value as a single string. If you need to store an array, you can store comma-separated values in the string. However, you must interpret the value in your code.

amzRequestId [required]

string
