Access IAM Identity Center details from member account with CLI | An error occurred (ResourceNotFoundException) when calling the DescribeGroup operation: IdentityStore not present for IdentityStoreId

Question

I am trying to execute

```
aws identitystore describe-group
--identity-store-id d-xxxxxx
--group-id 51db35d0-40xx-70xx-10ae-xxxxxxx
```
from the member account of an AWS organisation which has IAM identity center setup. But it fails with the error of resource not found. 
**An error occurred (ResourceNotFoundException) when calling the DescribeGroup operation: IdentityStore not present for IdentityStoreId: d-xxxxxx**

Althought the CLI reference document shows this note -

Answer

Hi There

You would need to run that command in the Management Account where Identity Center is provisioned.  Looks like you are trying to describe it from a member account.   You will need to either run the command from the management account, or assume a role in the management account.  See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-role.html#cli-configure-role-xaccount
