IAM Create Login Profile

Creates a password for the specified IAM user. A password allows an IAM user to access Amazon Web Services services through the Management Console.

You can use the CLI, the Amazon Web Services API, or the Users page in the IAM console to create a password for any IAM user. Use ChangePassword to update your own existing password in the My Security Credentials page in the Management Console.

For more information about managing passwords, see Managing passwords in the IAM User Guide.

Basic Parameters

Parameter	Description
AWS Region(s)	Enter the desired AWS Region(s). To execute the action in multiple regions, provide a comma-separated list. For example: us-east-1,eu-west-2. If you wish to run the action in all available regions, use the asterisk symbol (*) instead.
Password	The new password for the user. The regex pattern that is used to validate this parameter is a string of characters. That string can include almost any printable ASCII character from the space ( \u0020) through the end of the ASCII character range ( \u00FF). You can also include the tab ( \u0009), line feed ( \u000A), and carriage return ( \u000D) characters. Any of these characters are valid in a password. However, many tools, such as the Management Console, might restrict the ability to type certain characters because they have special meaning within that tool.
Password Reset Required	Specifies whether the user is required to set a new password on next sign-in.
User Name	The name of the IAM user to create a password for. The user must already exist. This parameter allows (through its regex pattern) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@-.

Advanced Parameters

Parameter	Description
Disable XML To JSON Auto Convert	When checked, XML responses are not automatically converted into JSON format.
