Creating a User in Amazon AppStream 2.0

You must enter a valid and unique email address for each new user within a Region. However, you can reuse an email address for a new user in another Region.

When you create a new user, be aware of the following:

  • You cannot change the email address, first name, or last name for a user that you have already created. To change this information for a user, disable the user. Then, recreate the user (as a new user) and specify the updated information as needed.

  • Users' email addresses are case-sensitive. During login, if they specify an email address that doesn't use the same capitalization as the email address specified when their user pool account was created, a "user does not exist" error message displays.

  • You can assign one or more stacks to the user after the user is created.

To create a new user
  1. Open the AppStream 2.0 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/appstream2.

  2. In the left navigation pane, choose User Pool, Create User.

  3. For Email, type the unique email address for the user.

  4. Type the user's first name and last name in the corresponding fields. These fields need not be unique.

  5. Choose Create User.

After users are created, AppStream 2.0 sends them a welcome email. This email includes the login portal link, the login email address to be used, and a temporary password. By browsing to the login portal and typing their temporary password, users can set a permanent password to access their applications.

By default, the new user's status is Enabled, meaning you can assign one or more stacks to the user or perform other administrative actions.
