identitystore

Description

The Identity Store service used by IAM Identity Center provides a single place to retrieve all of your identities (users and groups). For more information, see the IAM Identity Center User Guide .

This reference guide describes the identity store operations that you can call programmatically and includes detailed information about data types and errors.

Note

IAM Identity Center uses the sso , sso-directory , and identitystore API namespaces. The sso-directory and identitystore namespaces authorize access to data in the Identity Store. Make sure your policies with IAM actions from these two namespaces are consistent to avoid conflicting authorization to the same data.
