Boto3 not retrieving users from AWS Appstream whats the issue

Question

Hi All,

I'm trying to retrieve users from AWS Appstream Stack. Below one is my Boto3 code. There is no error, but this code doesn't give any output. Can any one check and let me where im wrong?

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import boto3
import awscli

client = boto3.client('appstream',aws_access_key_id='xxxx',aws_secret_access_key='yyyy')
session = boto3.Session(region_name='us-west-2', profile_name='exampleaws')

response = client.describe_user_stack_associations(
    StackName='ss',
    AuthenticationType='USERPOOL'
)

Hi@Lakshminarayanan,

I think you didn't get any output because you have not print anything in your script. Use print keyword to print your response.

I have tried with

print(response)

Its printing something. But not listing user names

Hi,

Maybe it is printing some extra information as well. Try to find out the exact keyword from that output that holds the user name. And accordingly, customize your code.

Hi bro,

its printing like below. But exactly name is not listing.

{'UserStackAssociations': [], 'ResponseMetadata': {'RequestId': '30cd9783--429b-b39d-7xxxxxxxxx6', 'HTTPStatusCode': 200, 'HTTPHeaders': {'x-amzn-requestid': '30cd9783--429b-b39d-7xxxyxyxyxx', 'content-type': 'application/x-amz-json-1.1', 'content-length': '28', 'date': 'Mon, 21 Sep 2020 11:17:55 GMT'}, 'RetryAttempts': 0}}.

Not listing users.. bro

Its my complete code. Kindly check and add if anything missing.

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import boto3
import awscli

client = boto3.client('appstream',aws_access_key_id='xxxxx',aws_secret_access_key='yyyy')
session = boto3.Session(region_name='us-west-2')
response = client.describe_user_stack_associations(
    StackName='ss',
    UserName = 'Latchu',
    AuthenticationType='USERPOOL',
    MaxResults = 10
    #NextToken = 'string'
)

print(response)

Hi,

Can you try with describe_users instead of describe_user_stack_associations​? Just see what it is showing. You can take help from the below given link.

https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/appstream.html#AppStream.Client.describe_users

i have checked with describe_users . But same output, Users not listing

---

its like permission issue, i have solved

Great, Can you explain what was the problem?
