Options

--user-name (string)

The name of the user. This value must be unique as it also serves as the user identifier.

--authentication-mode (structure)

Denotes the user's authentication properties, such as whether it requires a password to authenticate.

  "Type": "password"|"iam",
  "Passwords": ["string", ...]
}

--access-string (string)

Access permissions string used for this user.

--tags (list)

A list of tags to be added to this resource. A tag is a key-value pair. A tag key must be accompanied by a tag value, although null is accepted.

(structure)

A tag that can be added to an MemoryDB resource. Tags are composed of a Key/Value pair. You can use tags to categorize and track all your MemoryDB resources. When you add or remove tags on clusters, those actions will be replicated to all nodes in the cluster. A tag with a null Value is permitted. For more information, see Tagging your MemoryDB resources

Key -> (string)

The key for the tag. May not be null.

Value -> (string)

The tag's value. May be null.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

--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.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To create a user

The following create-user example creates a new user.

aws memorydb create-user \
    --user-name user-name-1 \
    --access-string "~objects:* ~items:* ~public:*" \
     --authentication-mode \
         Passwords="enterapasswordhere",Type=password

Output:

{
    "User": {
        "Name": "user-name-1",
        "Status": "active",
        "AccessString": "off ~objects:* ~items:* ~public:* resetchannels -@all",
        "ACLNames": [],
        "MinimumEngineVersion": "6.2",
        "Authentication": {
            "Type": "password",
            "PasswordCount": 1
        },
        "ARN": "arn:aws:memorydb:us-west-2:491658xxxxxx:user/user-name-1"
