Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

AccessDeniedException

You do not have sufficient access to perform this action.

RequestId: The identifier for each request. This value is a globally unique ID that is generated by the identity store service for each sent request, and is then returned inside the exception if the request fails.

HTTP Status Code: 400

InternalServerException

The request processing has failed because of an unknown error, exception or failure with an internal server.

RequestId: The identifier for each request. This value is a globally unique ID that is generated by the identity store service for each sent request, and is then returned inside the exception if the request fails.
RetryAfterSeconds: The number of seconds to wait before retrying the next request.

HTTP Status Code: 500

ResourceNotFoundException

Indicates that a requested resource is not found.

RequestId: The identifier for each request. This value is a globally unique ID that is generated by the identity store service for each sent request, and is then returned inside the exception if the request fails.
ResourceId: The identifier for a resource in the identity store that can be used as UserId or GroupId. The format for ResourceId is either UUID or 1234567890-UUID, where UUID is a randomly generated value for each resource when it is created and 1234567890 represents the IdentityStoreId string value. In the case that the identity store is migrated from a legacy SSO identity store, the ResourceId for that identity store will be in the format of UUID. Otherwise, it will be in the 1234567890-UUID format.
