--client-token
(string)
A unique and case-sensitive identifier that you provide to make sure the idempotency of the request, so multiple identical calls have the same effect as one single call.
A client token is valid for 8 hours after the first request that uses it completes. After 8 hours, any request with the same client token is treated as a new request. If the request succeeds, any future uses of that token will be idempotent for another 8 hours.
If you submit a request with the same client token but change one of the other parameters within the 8-hour idempotency window, Directory Service Data returns an
ConflictException
.Note
This parameter is optional when using the CLI or SDK.
--directory-id
(string)
The identifier (ID) of the directory that's associated with the user.
--email-address

--other-attributes

value -> (tagged union structure)
The data type for an attribute. Each attribute value is described as a name-value pair. The name is the AD schema name, and the value is the data itself. For a list of supported attributes, see Directory Service Data Attributes .

.BOOL -> (boolean)
Indicates that the attribute type value is a boolean. For example:
"BOOL": true
N -> (long)
Indicates that the attribute type value is a number. For example:
"N": "16"
S -> (string)
Indicates that the attribute type value is a string. For example:
"S": "S Group"
SS -> (list)
Indicates that the attribute type value is a string set. For example:
"SS": ["sample_service_class/host.sample.com:1234/sample_service_name_1", "sample_service_class/host.sample.com:1234/sample_service_name_2"]
