Request Syntax

response = client.list_user_tags(
    UserName='string',
    Marker='string',
    MaxItems=123
)
Parameters:
  • UserName (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the IAM user whose tags you want to see.

    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: _+=,.@-

  • Marker (string) – Use this parameter only when paginating results and only after you receive a response indicating that the results are truncated. Set it to the value of the Marker element in the response that you received to indicate where the next call should start.

  • MaxItems (integer) –

    Use this only when paginating results to indicate the maximum number of items you want in the response. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, the IsTruncated response element is true.

    If you do not include this parameter, the number of items defaults to 100. Note that IAM might return fewer results, even when there are more results available. In that case, the IsTruncated response element returns true, and Marker contains a value to include in the subsequent call that tells the service where to continue from.

Return type:

dict

Returns:

Response Syntax

{
    'Tags': [
        {
            'Key': 'string',
            'Value': 'string'
        },
    ],
    'IsTruncated': True|False,
    'Marker': 'string'
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    • Tags (list) –

      The list of tags that are currently attached to the user. Each tag consists of a key name and an associated value. If no tags are attached to the specified resource, the response contains an empty list.

      • (dict) –

        A structure that represents user-provided metadata that can be associated with an IAM resource. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide.

        • Key (string) –

          The key name that can be used to look up or retrieve the associated value. For example, Department or Cost Center are common choices.

        • Value (string) –

          The value associated with this tag. For example, tags with a key name of Department could have values such as Human Resources, Accounting, and Support. Tags with a key name of Cost Center might have values that consist of the number associated with the different cost centers in your company. Typically, many resources have tags with the same key name but with different values.

          Note

          Amazon Web Services always interprets the tag Value as a single string. If you need to store an array, you can store comma-separated values in the string. However, you must interpret the value in your code.

    • IsTruncated (boolean) –

      A flag that indicates whether there are more items to return. If your results were truncated, you can make a subsequent pagination request using the Marker request parameter to retrieve more items. Note that IAM might return fewer than the MaxItems number of results even when there are more results available. We recommend that you check IsTruncated after every call to ensure that you receive all your results.

    • Marker (string) –

      When IsTruncated is true, this element is present and contains the value to use for the Marker parameter in a subsequent pagination request.

Examples

The following example shows how to list the tags attached to a user.

response = client.list_user_tags(
    UserName='anika',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'IsTruncated': False,
    'Tags': [
        {
            'Key': 'Dept',
            'Value': '12345',
        },
        {
            'Key': 'Team',
            'Value': 'Accounting',
        },
    ],
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
