# RegisterUser


Use the `RegisterUser` operation to create an Quick Sight user whose identity is associated with the IAM identity or role specified in the request. When you register a new user from the Amazon Quick Sight API, Amazon Quick Sight generates a registration URL. The user accesses this registration URL to create their account. Amazon Quick Sight does not send a registration email to users who are registered from the Amazon Quick Sight API.

Following is an example AWS CLI command for this operation.

------
#### [ AWS CLI ]

```
aws quicksight register-user 
    --identity-type QUICKSIGHT 
    --email EMAIL 
    --user-role AUTHOR 
    --iam-arn 222233334444 
    --session-name SESSION 
    --aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID 
    --namespace default 
    --user-name USERNAME 
    --external-login-federation-provider-type CUSTOM_OIDC 
    --custom-federation-provider-url www.example.com/ 
    --external-login-id EXTERNALLOGINID
```

You can also make this command using a CLI skeleton file with the following command. For more information about CLI skeleton files, see [Use CLI skeleton files](cli-skeletons.md).

```
aws quicksight register-user 
    --cli-input-json file://registeruser.json
```

------

After using this operation, you get a response that includes a link labeled **Invitation URL**. Click the **Invitation URL** to set up a password and activate the new account. The new user then appear in the Quick Sight UI. You can use the `ListUsers` operation to list all users and their corresponding user IDs.
