createGroup method

Future<CreateGroupResponse> createGroup({
  1. required String groupName,
  2. String? path,
})

Creates a new group.

The number and size of IAM resources in an AWS account are limited. For more information, see IAM and STS Quotas in the IAM User Guide.

May throw LimitExceededException. May throw EntityAlreadyExistsException. May throw NoSuchEntityException. May throw ServiceFailureException.

Parameter groupName : The name of the group to create. Do not include the path in this value.

IAM user, group, role, and policy names must be unique within the account. Names are not distinguished by case. For example, you cannot create resources named both "MyResource" and "myresource".

Parameter path : The path to the group. For more information about paths, see IAM Identifiers in the IAM User Guide.

This parameter is optional. If it is not included, it defaults to a slash (/).

This parameter allows (through its regex pattern) a string of characters consisting of either a forward slash (/) by itself or a string that must begin and end with forward slashes. In addition, it can contain any ASCII character from the ! (\u0021) through the DEL character (\u007F), including most punctuation characters, digits, and upper and lowercased letters.

Implementation

Future<CreateGroupResponse> createGroup({
  required String groupName,
  String? path,
}) async {
  ArgumentError.checkNotNull(groupName, 'groupName');
  _s.validateStringLength(
    'groupName',
    groupName,
    1,
    128,
    isRequired: true,
  );
  _s.validateStringLength(
    'path',
    path,
    1,
    512,
  );
  final $request = <String, dynamic>{};
  $request['GroupName'] = groupName;
  path?.also((arg) => $request['Path'] = arg);
  final $result = await _protocol.send(
    $request,
    action: 'CreateGroup',
    version: '2010-05-08',
    method: 'POST',
    requestUri: '/',
    exceptionFnMap: _exceptionFns,
    shape: shapes['CreateGroupRequest'],
    shapes: shapes,
    resultWrapper: 'CreateGroupResult',
  );
  return CreateGroupResponse.fromXml($result);
