What's the action when create a user through AWS IAM Identity Center through AWS CLI?

Question

Hello,

From https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/identitystore/create-user.html, it provides to create an user with AWS CLI.

However, when create an user with AWS IAM Identity Center console, there are two options for password.
- Send an email to this user with password setup instructions.
- Generate a one-time password that you can share with this user.

So, what's the action when create a user through AWS IAM Identity Center through AWS CLI? I don't see the option as a CLI parameter.

Regards

Answer

As you are already aware of it, In case of Identity store as "Identity Center directory", one may create users through CLI by using API call "create-user", but there is no parameter in either "create-user/update-user" CLI command to send the password through an email to the user or create one time password. This action is possible only through AWS IAM Identity Center console.

Hope the above information is helpful. Thank you.
