AWS WorkMail Create User API throwing `OrganizationNotFoundException` error

Question

So I was using boto3 to connect with AWS WorkMail. I used one of my IAM User and gave the full WoekMail Permission to that user. I have an organization created and I wanted to programatically create an user for it using one of their API .

So my code looks something like this:

import boto3

from config import aws_credentials

client = boto3.client('workmail', **aws_credentials)

response = client.create_user(
    OrganizationId="m-69a01**********************848eb",
    Name='abhi',
    DisplayName='abhi jain',
    Password='********'
)

So I keep getting this error:

botocore.errorfactory.OrganizationNotFoundException: An error occurred (OrganizationNotFoundException) when calling the CreateUser operation: Could not find organization with id 'm-69a01**********************848eb'

Just to make sure I double-checked my Organisation ID and have attached a screenshot. I am not sure if this is the right Organisation ID to be used with this API.

Answer 1

Found my mistake, the aws credentials was set to the us-west-2 region while my organization was present in us-east-1 .

So as I cannot change my Organization region, I changed my region in my ~/.aws/config to the same region as my organization and used the same code and it worked like a charm.

import boto3

from config import aws_credentials

client = boto3.client('workmail', **aws_credentials)

response = client.create_user(
    OrganizationId="m-69a01**********************848eb",
    Name='abhi',
    DisplayName='abhi jain',
    Password='********'
)
