Changes  Amazon Kendra now supports Principal Store

DeletePrincipalMapping (new) Link ¶

Deletes a group so that all users and sub groups that belong to the group can no longer access documents only available to that group.

For example, after deleting the group "Summer Interns", all interns who belonged to that group no longer see intern-only documents in their search results.

If you want to delete or replace users or sub groups of a group, you need to use the PutPrincipalMapping operation. For example, if a user in the group "Engineering" leaves the engineering team and another user takes their place, you provide an updated list of users or sub groups that belong to the "Engineering" group when calling PutPrincipalMapping . You can update your internal list of users or sub groups and input this list when calling PutPrincipalMapping .

Request Syntax

client.delete_principal_mapping(
    IndexId='string',
    DataSourceId='string',
    GroupId='string',
    OrderingId=123
)
type IndexId

string

param IndexId

[REQUIRED]

The identifier of the index you want to delete a group from.

type DataSourceId

string

param DataSourceId

The identifier of the data source you want to delete a group from.

This is useful if a group is tied to multiple data sources and you want to delete a group from accessing documents in a certain data source. For example, the groups "Research", "Engineering", and "Sales and Marketing" are all tied to the company's documents stored in the data sources Confluence and Salesforce. You want to delete "Research" and "Engineering" groups from Salesforce, so that these groups cannot access customer-related documents stored in Salesforce. Only "Sales and Marketing" should access documents in the Salesforce data source.

type GroupId

string

param GroupId

[REQUIRED]

The identifier of the group you want to delete.

type OrderingId

integer

param OrderingId

The timestamp identifier you specify to ensure Amazon Kendra does not override the latest DELETE action with previous actions. The highest number ID, which is the ordering ID, is the latest action you want to process and apply on top of other actions with lower number IDs. This prevents previous actions with lower number IDs from possibly overriding the latest action.

The ordering ID can be the UNIX time of the last update you made to a group members list. You would then provide this list when calling PutPrincipalMapping . This ensures your DELETE action for that updated group with the latest members list doesn't get overwritten by earlier DELETE actions for the same group which are yet to be processed.

The default ordering ID is the current UNIX time in milliseconds that the action was received by Amazon Kendra.

PutPrincipalMapping (new) Link ¶

Maps users to their groups. You can also map sub groups to groups. For example, the group "Company Intellectual Property Teams" includes sub groups "Research" and "Engineering". These sub groups include their own list of users or people who work in these teams. Only users who work in research and engineering, and therefore belong in the intellectual property group, can see top-secret company documents in their search results.

You map users to their groups when you want to filter search results for different users based on their group’s access to documents. For more information on filtering search results for different users, see Filtering on user context .

If more than five PUT actions for a group are currently processing, a validation exception is thrown.

Adds one or more documents to an index.

The BatchPutDocument operation enables you to ingest inline documents or a set of documents stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. Use this operation to ingest your text and unstructured text into an index, add custom attributes to the documents, and to attach an access control list to the documents added to the index.

The documents are indexed asynchronously. You can see the progress of the batch using Amazon Web Services CloudWatch. Any error messages related to processing the batch are sent to your Amazon Web Services CloudWatch log.

type IndexId

string

param IndexId

[REQUIRED]

The identifier of the index to add the documents to. You need to create the index first using the CreateIndex operation.

type RoleArn

string

param RoleArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a role that is allowed to run the BatchPutDocument operation. For more information, see IAM Roles for Amazon Kendra .

type Documents

Documents can include custom attributes. For example, 'DataSourceId' and 'DataSourceSyncJobId' are custom attributes that provide information on the synchronization of documents running on a data source. Note, 'DataSourceSyncJobId' could be an optional custom attribute as Amazon Kendra will use the ID of a running sync job.

Documents have the following file size limits.

  • 5 MB total size for inline documents

  • 50 MB total size for files from an S3 bucket

  • 5 MB extracted text for any file

For more information about file size and transaction per second quotas, see Quotas .

Searches an active index. Use this API to search your documents using query. The Query operation enables to do faceted search and to filter results based on document attributes.

It also enables you to provide user context that Amazon Kendra uses to enforce document access control in the search results.

Amazon Kendra searches your index for text content and question and answer (FAQ) content. By default the response contains three types of results.

  • Relevant passages

  • Matching FAQs

  • Relevant documents

You can specify that the query return only one type of result using the QueryResultTypeConfig parameter.

Each query returns the 100 most relevant results.

type Facets

list

param Facets

An array of documents attributes. Amazon Kendra returns a count for each attribute key specified. You can use this information to help narrow the search for your user.

  • (dict) --

    Information about a document attribute

    • DocumentAttributeKey (string) --

      The unique key for the document attribute.

type RequestedDocumentAttributes

list

param RequestedDocumentAttributes

An array of document attributes to include in the response. No other document attributes are included in the response. By default all document attributes are included in the response.

  • (string) --

type QueryResultTypeFilter

string

param QueryResultTypeFilter

Sets the type of query. Only results for the specified query type are returned.

type DocumentRelevanceOverrideConfigurations

list

param DocumentRelevanceOverrideConfigurations

Overrides relevance tuning configurations of fields or attributes set at the index level.

If you use this API to override the relevance tuning configured at the index level, but there is no relevance tuning configured at the index level, then Amazon Kendra does not apply any relevance tuning.

If there is relevance tuning configured at the index level, but you do not use this API to override any relevance tuning in the index, then Amazon Kendra uses the relevance tuning that is configured at the index level.

If there is relevance tuning configured for fields at the index level, but you use this API to override only some of these fields, then for the fields you did not override, the importance is set to 1.

  • (dict) --

    Overrides the document relevance properties of a custom index field.

    • Name (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The name of the tuning configuration to override document relevance at the index level.

    • Relevance (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

      Provides information for manually tuning the relevance of a field in a search. When a query includes terms that match the field, the results are given a boost in the response based on these tuning parameters.

      • Freshness (boolean) --

        Indicates that this field determines how "fresh" a document is. For example, if document 1 was created on November 5, and document 2 was created on October 31, document 1 is "fresher" than document 2. You can only set the Freshness field on one DATE type field. Only applies to DATE fields.

      • Importance (integer) --

        The relative importance of the field in the search. Larger numbers provide more of a boost than smaller numbers.

      • Duration (string) --

        Specifies the time period that the boost applies to. For example, to make the boost apply to documents with the field value within the last month, you would use "2628000s". Once the field value is beyond the specified range, the effect of the boost drops off. The higher the importance, the faster the effect drops off. If you don't specify a value, the default is 3 months. The value of the field is a numeric string followed by the character "s", for example "86400s" for one day, or "604800s" for one week.

        Only applies to DATE fields.

      • RankOrder (string) --

        Determines how values should be interpreted.

        When the RankOrder field is ASCENDING , higher numbers are better. For example, a document with a rating score of 10 is higher ranking than a document with a rating score of 1.

        When the RankOrder field is DESCENDING , lower numbers are better. For example, in a task tracking application, a priority 1 task is more important than a priority 5 task.

        Only applies to LONG and DOUBLE fields.

      • ValueImportanceMap (dict) --

        A list of values that should be given a different boost when they appear in the result list. For example, if you are boosting a field called "department," query terms that match the department field are boosted in the result. However, you can add entries from the department field to boost documents with those values higher.

        For example, you can add entries to the map with names of departments. If you add "HR",5 and "Legal",3 those departments are given special attention when they appear in the metadata of a document. When those terms appear they are given the specified importance instead of the regular importance for the boost.

        • (string) --

          • (integer) --

type PageNumber

integer

param PageNumber

Query results are returned in pages the size of the PageSize parameter. By default, Amazon Kendra returns the first page of results. Use this parameter to get result pages after the first one.

type PageSize

integer

param PageSize

Sets the number of results that are returned in each page of results. The default page size is 10. The maximum number of results returned is 100. If you ask for more than 100 results, only 100 are returned.

type SortingConfiguration

dict

param SortingConfiguration

Provides information that determines how the results of the query are sorted. You can set the field that Amazon Kendra should sort the results on, and specify whether the results should be sorted in ascending or descending order. In the case of ties in sorting the results, the results are sorted by relevance.

If you don't provide sorting configuration, the results are sorted by the relevance that Amazon Kendra determines for the result.

  • DocumentAttributeKey (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The name of the document attribute used to sort the response. You can use any field that has the Sortable flag set to true.

    You can also sort by any of the following built-in attributes:

    • _category

    • _created_at

    • _last_updated_at

    • _version

    • _view_count

  • SortOrder (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The order that the results should be returned in. In case of ties, the relevance assigned to the result by Amazon Kendra is used as the tie-breaker.

type UserContext

dict

param UserContext
