IAM

Client

class IAM.Client

A low-level client representing AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service for securely controlling access to Amazon Web Services services. With IAM, you can centrally manage users, security credentials such as access keys, and permissions that control which Amazon Web Services resources users and applications can access. For more information about IAM, see Identity and Access Management (IAM) and the Identity and Access Management User Guide.

import boto3

client = boto3.client('iam')

These are the available methods:

add_client_id_to_open_id_connect_provider(**kwargs)

Adds a new client ID (also known as audience) to the list of client IDs already registered for the specified IAM OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider resource.

This operation is idempotent; it does not fail or return an error if you add an existing client ID to the provider.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.add_client_id_to_open_id_connect_provider(
    OpenIDConnectProviderArn='string',
    ClientID='string'
)
Parameters
  • OpenIDConnectProviderArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider resource to add the client ID to. You can get a list of OIDC provider ARNs by using the ListOpenIDConnectProviders operation.

  • ClientID (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The client ID (also known as audience) to add to the IAM OpenID Connect provider resource.

Returns

None

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.InvalidInputException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.LimitExceededException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException

Examples

The following add-client-id-to-open-id-connect-provider command adds the client ID my-application-ID to the OIDC provider named server.example.com:

response = client.add_client_id_to_open_id_connect_provider(
    ClientID='my-application-ID',
    OpenIDConnectProviderArn='arn:aws:iam::123456789012:oidc-provider/server.example.com',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
add_role_to_instance_profile(**kwargs)

Adds the specified IAM role to the specified instance profile. An instance profile can contain only one role, and this quota cannot be increased. You can remove the existing role and then add a different role to an instance profile. You must then wait for the change to appear across all of Amazon Web Services because of eventual consistency. To force the change, you must disassociate the instance profile and then associate the instance profile, or you can stop your instance and then restart it.

Note

The caller of this operation must be granted the PassRole permission on the IAM role by a permissions policy.

For more information about roles, see Working with roles. For more information about instance profiles, see About instance profiles.

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
change_password(**kwargs)

Changes the password of the IAM user who is calling this operation. This operation can be performed using the CLI, the Amazon Web Services API, or the My Security Credentials page in the Amazon Web Services Management Console. The Amazon Web Services account root user password is not affected by this operation.

Use UpdateLoginProfile to use the CLI, the Amazon Web Services API, or the Users page in the IAM console to change the password for any IAM user. For more information about modifying passwords, see Managing passwords in the IAM User Guide .

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.change_password(
    OldPassword='string',
    NewPassword='string'
)
Parameters
  • OldPassword (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The IAM user's current password.

  • NewPassword (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The new password. The new password must conform to the Amazon Web Services account's password policy, if one exists.

    The regex pattern that is used to validate this parameter is a string of characters. That string can include almost any printable ASCII character from the space ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range ( \u00FF ). You can also include the tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D ) characters. Any of these characters are valid in a password. However, many tools, such as the Amazon Web Services Management Console, might restrict the ability to type certain characters because they have special meaning within that tool.

Returns

None

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.InvalidUserTypeException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.LimitExceededException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.EntityTemporarilyUnmodifiableException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.PasswordPolicyViolationException

)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
close()

Closes underlying endpoint connections.

create_access_key(**kwargs)

Creates a new Amazon Web Services secret access key and corresponding Amazon Web Services access key ID for the specified user. The default status for new keys is Active .

If you do not specify a user name, IAM determines the user name implicitly based on the Amazon Web Services access key ID signing the request. This operation works for access keys under the Amazon Web Services account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage Amazon Web Services account root user credentials. This is true even if the Amazon Web Services account has no associated users.

For information about quotas on the number of keys you can create, see IAM and STS quotas in the IAM User Guide .

Warning

To ensure the security of your Amazon Web Services account, the secret access key is accessible only during key and user creation. You must save the key (for example, in a text file) if you want to be able to access it again. If a secret key is lost, you can delete the access keys for the associated user and then create new keys.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.create_access_key(
    UserName='string'
)
Parameters
UserName (string) --

The name of the IAM user that the new key will belong to.

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: _+=,.@-

Request Syntax

response = client.create_login_profile(
    UserName='string',
    Password='string',
    PasswordResetRequired=True|False
)
Parameters
  • UserName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the IAM user to create a password for. The user must already exist.

    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: _+=,.@-

  • Password (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The new password for the user.

    The regex pattern that is used to validate this parameter is a string of characters. That string can include almost any printable ASCII character from the space ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range ( \u00FF ). You can also include the tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D ) characters. Any of these characters are valid in a password. However, many tools, such as the Amazon Web Services Management Console, might restrict the ability to type certain characters because they have special meaning within that tool.

}
create_open_id_connect_provider(**kwargs)

Creates an IAM entity to describe an identity provider (IdP) that supports OpenID Connect (OIDC).

The OIDC provider that you create with this operation can be used as a principal in a role's trust policy. Such a policy establishes a trust relationship between Amazon Web Services and the OIDC provider.

If you are using an OIDC identity provider from Google, Facebook, or Amazon Cognito, you don't need to create a separate IAM identity provider. These OIDC identity providers are already built-in to Amazon Web Services and are available for your use. Instead, you can move directly to creating new roles using your identity provider. To learn more, see Creating a role for web identity or OpenID connect federation in the IAM User Guide .

When you create the IAM OIDC provider, you specify the following:

  • The URL of the OIDC identity provider (IdP) to trust
  • A list of client IDs (also known as audiences) that identify the application or applications allowed to authenticate using the OIDC provider
  • A list of thumbprints of one or more server certificates that the IdP uses

You get all of this information from the OIDC IdP you want to use to access Amazon Web Services.

Note

Amazon Web Services secures communication with some OIDC identity providers (IdPs) through our library of trusted certificate authorities (CAs) instead of using a certificate thumbprint to verify your IdP server certificate. These OIDC IdPs include Google, Auth0, and those that use an Amazon S3 bucket to host a JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) endpoint. In these cases, your legacy thumbprint remains in your configuration, but is no longer used for validation.

Note

The trust for the OIDC provider is derived from the IAM provider that this operation creates. Therefore, it is best to limit access to the CreateOpenIDConnectProvider operation to highly privileged users.

Request Syntax

response = client.create_open_id_connect_provider(
    Url='string',
    ClientIDList=[
        'string',
    ],
    ThumbprintList=[
        'string',
    ],
    Tags=[
        {
            'Key': 'string',
            'Value': 'string'
        },
    ]
)
Parameters
  • Url (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The URL of the identity provider. The URL must begin with https:// and should correspond to the iss claim in the provider's OpenID Connect ID tokens. Per the OIDC standard, path components are allowed but query parameters are not. Typically the URL consists of only a hostname, like https://server.example.org or https://example.com . The URL should not contain a port number.

    You cannot register the same provider multiple times in a single Amazon Web Services account. If you try to submit a URL that has already been used for an OpenID Connect provider in the Amazon Web Services account, you will get an error.

  • ClientIDList (list) --

    Provides a list of client IDs, also known as audiences. When a mobile or web app registers with an OpenID Connect provider, they establish a value that identifies the application. This is the value that's sent as the client_id parameter on OAuth requests.

    You can register multiple client IDs with the same provider. For example, you might have multiple applications that use the same OIDC provider. You cannot register more than 100 client IDs with a single IAM OIDC provider.

    There is no defined format for a client ID. The CreateOpenIDConnectProviderRequest operation accepts client IDs up to 255 characters long.

    • (string) --
  • ThumbprintList (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A list of server certificate thumbprints for the OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider's server certificates. Typically this list includes only one entry. However, IAM lets you have up to five thumbprints for an OIDC provider. This lets you maintain multiple thumbprints if the identity provider is rotating certificates.

    The server certificate thumbprint is the hex-encoded SHA-1 hash value of the X.509 certificate used by the domain where the OpenID Connect provider makes its keys available. It is always a 40-character string.

    You must provide at least one thumbprint when creating an IAM OIDC provider. For example, assume that the OIDC provider is server.example.com and the provider stores its keys at https://keys.server.example.com/openid-connect. In that case, the thumbprint string would be the hex-encoded SHA-1 hash value of the certificate used by https://keys.server.example.com.

    For more information about obtaining the OIDC provider thumbprint, see Obtaining the thumbprint for an OpenID Connect provider in the IAM User Guide .

    • (string) --

      Contains a thumbprint for an identity provider's server certificate.

      The identity provider's server certificate thumbprint is the hex-encoded SHA-1 hash value of the self-signed X.509 certificate. This thumbprint is used by the domain where the OpenID Connect provider makes its keys available. The thumbprint is always a 40-character string.

  • Tags (list) --

    A list of tags that you want to attach to the new IAM OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider. Each tag consists of a key name and an associated value. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .

    Note

    If any one of the tags is invalid or if you exceed the allowed maximum number of tags, then the entire request fails and the resource is not created.

    • (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) -- [REQUIRED]

        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) -- [REQUIRED]

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

    ]
)
Parameters
  • PolicyName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The friendly name of the policy.

    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".

  • Path (string) --

    The path for the policy.

    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.

    Note

    You cannot use an asterisk (*) in the path name.

  • PolicyDocument (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The JSON policy document that you want to use as the content for the new policy.

    You must provide policies in JSON format in IAM. However, for CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. CloudFormation always converts a YAML policy to JSON format before submitting it to IAM.

    The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas.

    To learn more about JSON policy grammar, see Grammar of the IAM JSON policy language in the IAM User Guide .

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
  • Description (string) --

create_policy_version(**kwargs)

Creates a new version of the specified managed policy. To update a managed policy, you create a new policy version. A managed policy can have up to five versions. If the policy has five versions, you must delete an existing version using DeletePolicyVersion before you create a new version.

Optionally, you can set the new version as the policy's default version. The default version is the version that is in effect for the IAM users, groups, and roles to which the policy is attached.

For more information about managed policy versions, see Versioning for managed policies in the IAM User Guide .

Request Syntax

response = client.create_policy_version(
    PolicyArn='string',
    PolicyDocument='string',
    SetAsDefault=True|False
)
Parameters
  • PolicyArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM policy to which you want to add a new version.

    For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

  • PolicyDocument (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The JSON policy document that you want to use as the content for this new version of the policy.

    You must provide policies in JSON format in IAM. However, for CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. CloudFormation always converts a YAML policy to JSON format before submitting it to IAM.

    The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
  • SetAsDefault (boolean) --

    Specifies whether to set this version as the policy's default version.

    When this parameter is true , the new policy version becomes the operative version. That is, it becomes the version that is in effect for the IAM users, groups, and roles that the policy is attached to.

    For more information about managed policy versions, see Versioning for managed policies in the IAM User Guide .

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    Contains the response to a successful CreatePolicyVersion request.

    • PolicyVersion (dict) --

      A structure containing details about the new policy version.

      • Document (string) --

        The policy document.

        The policy document is returned in the response to the GetPolicyVersion and GetAccountAuthorizationDetails operations. It is not returned in the response to the CreatePolicyVersion or ListPolicyVersions operations.

        The policy document returned in this structure is URL-encoded compliant with RFC 3986. You can use a URL decoding method to convert the policy back to plain JSON text. For example, if you use Java, you can use the decode method of the java.net.URLDecoder utility class in the Java SDK. Other languages and SDKs provide similar functionality.

      • VersionId (string) --

        The identifier for the policy version.

        Policy version identifiers always begin with v (always lowercase). When a policy is created, the first policy version is v1 .

      • IsDefaultVersion (boolean) --

        Specifies whether the policy version is set as the policy's default version.

      • CreateDate (datetime) --

        The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the policy version was created.

Request Syntax

response = client.create_role(
    Path='string',
    RoleName='string',
    AssumeRolePolicyDocument='string',
    Description='string',
    MaxSessionDuration=123,
    PermissionsBoundary='string',
    Tags=[
        {
            'Key': 'string',
            'Value': 'string'
        },
    ]
)
Parameters
  • Path (string) --

    The path to the role. 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.

  • RoleName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the role to create.

    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".

  • AssumeRolePolicyDocument (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The trust relationship policy document that grants an entity permission to assume the role.

    In IAM, you must provide a JSON policy that has been converted to a string. However, for CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. CloudFormation always converts a YAML policy to JSON format before submitting it to IAM.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )

    Upon success, the response includes the same trust policy in JSON format.

  • Description (string) -- A description of the role.
  • MaxSessionDuration (integer) --

    The maximum session duration (in seconds) that you want to set for the specified role. If you do not specify a value for this setting, the default value of one hour is applied. This setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours.

    Anyone who assumes the role from the CLI or API can use the DurationSeconds API parameter or the duration-seconds CLI parameter to request a longer session. The MaxSessionDuration setting determines the maximum duration that can be requested using the DurationSeconds parameter. If users don't specify a value for the DurationSeconds parameter, their security credentials are valid for one hour by default. This applies when you use the AssumeRole* API operations or the assume-role* CLI operations but does not apply when you use those operations to create a console URL. For more information, see Using IAM roles in the IAM User Guide .

  • PermissionsBoundary (string) --

    The ARN of the managed policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the role.

    A permissions boundary policy defines the maximum permissions that identity-based policies can grant to an entity, but does not grant permissions. Permissions boundaries do not define the maximum permissions that a resource-based policy can grant to an entity. To learn more, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the IAM User Guide .

    For more information about policy types, see Policy types in the IAM User Guide .

  • Tags (list) --

    A list of tags that you want to attach to the new role. Each tag consists of a key name and an associated value. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .

    Note

    If any one of the tags is invalid or if you exceed the allowed maximum number of tags, then the entire request fails and the resource is not created.

    • (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) -- [REQUIRED]

        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) -- [REQUIRED]

        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.

create_saml_provider(**kwargs)

Creates an IAM resource that describes an identity provider (IdP) that supports SAML 2.0.

The SAML provider resource that you create with this operation can be used as a principal in an IAM role's trust policy. Such a policy can enable federated users who sign in using the SAML IdP to assume the role. You can create an IAM role that supports Web-based single sign-on (SSO) to the Amazon Web Services Management Console or one that supports API access to Amazon Web Services.

When you create the SAML provider resource, you upload a SAML metadata document that you get from your IdP. That document includes the issuer's name, expiration information, and keys that can be used to validate the SAML authentication response (assertions) that the IdP sends. You must generate the metadata document using the identity management software that is used as your organization's IdP.

Note

This operation requires Signature Version 4.

For more information, see Enabling SAML 2.0 federated users to access the Amazon Web Services Management Console and About SAML 2.0-based federation in the IAM User Guide .

create_service_linked_role(**kwargs)

Creates an IAM role that is linked to a specific Amazon Web Services service. The service controls the attached policies and when the role can be deleted. This helps ensure that the service is not broken by an unexpectedly changed or deleted role, which could put your Amazon Web Services resources into an unknown state. Allowing the service to control the role helps improve service stability and proper cleanup when a service and its role are no longer needed. For more information, see Using service-linked roles in the IAM User Guide .

To attach a policy to this service-linked role, you must make the request using the Amazon Web Services service that depends on this role.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.create_service_linked_role(
    AWSServiceName='string',
    Description='string',
    CustomSuffix='string'
)
Parameters
  • AWSServiceName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The service principal for the Amazon Web Services service to which this role is attached. You use a string similar to a URL but without the http:// in front. For example: elasticbeanstalk.amazonaws.com .

    Service principals are unique and case-sensitive. To find the exact service principal for your service-linked role, see Amazon Web Services services that work with IAM in the IAM User Guide . Look for the services that have Yes in the Service-Linked Role column. Choose the Yes link to view the service-linked role documentation for that service.

  • Description (string) -- The description of the role.
  • CustomSuffix (string) --

    A string that you provide, which is combined with the service-provided prefix to form the complete role name. If you make multiple requests for the same service, then you must supply a different CustomSuffix for each request. Otherwise the request fails with a duplicate role name error. For example, you could add -1 or -debug to the suffix.

    Some services do not support the CustomSuffix parameter. If you provide an optional suffix and the operation fails, try the operation again without the suffix.

            'Key': 'string',
            'Value': 'string'
        },
    ]
)
Parameters
  • Path (string) --

    The path for the user name. 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.

  • UserName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the user to create.

    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".

  • PermissionsBoundary (string) --

    The ARN of the managed policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the user.

    A permissions boundary policy defines the maximum permissions that identity-based policies can grant to an entity, but does not grant permissions. Permissions boundaries do not define the maximum permissions that a resource-based policy can grant to an entity. To learn more, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the IAM User Guide .

    For more information about policy types, see Policy types in the IAM User Guide .

  • Tags (list) --

    A list of tags that you want to attach to the new user. Each tag consists of a key name and an associated value. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .

    Note

    If any one of the tags is invalid or if you exceed the allowed maximum number of tags, then the entire request fails and the resource is not created.

    • (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) -- [REQUIRED]

        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) -- [REQUIRED]

        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.

If a password is used more than once in a five-minute span, only the first use is returned in this field. If the field is null (no value), then it indicates that they never signed in with a password. This can be because:

        • The user never had a password.
        • A password exists but has not been used since IAM started tracking this information on October 20, 2014.

        A null value does not mean that the user never had a password. Also, if the user does not currently have a password but had one in the past, then this field contains the date and time the most recent password was used.

        This value is returned only in the GetUser and ListUsers operations.

delete_policy(**kwargs)

Deletes the specified managed policy.

Before you can delete a managed policy, you must first detach the policy from all users, groups, and roles that it is attached to. In addition, you must delete all the policy's versions. The following steps describe the process for deleting a managed policy:

  • Detach the policy from all users, groups, and roles that the policy is attached to, using DetachUserPolicy, DetachGroupPolicy, or DetachRolePolicy. To list all the users, groups, and roles that a policy is attached to, use ListEntitiesForPolicy.
  • Delete all versions of the policy using DeletePolicyVersion. To list the policy's versions, use ListPolicyVersions. You cannot use DeletePolicyVersion to delete the version that is marked as the default version. You delete the policy's default version in the next step of the process.
  • Delete the policy (this automatically deletes the policy's default version) using this operation.

For information about managed policies, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide .

delete_service_linked_role(**kwargs)

Submits a service-linked role deletion request and returns a DeletionTaskId , which you can use to check the status of the deletion. Before you call this operation, confirm that the role has no active sessions and that any resources used by the role in the linked service are deleted. If you call this operation more than once for the same service-linked role and an earlier deletion task is not complete, then the DeletionTaskId of the earlier request is returned.

If you submit a deletion request for a service-linked role whose linked service is still accessing a resource, then the deletion task fails. If it fails, the GetServiceLinkedRoleDeletionStatus operation returns the reason for the failure, usually including the resources that must be deleted. To delete the service-linked role, you must first remove those resources from the linked service and then submit the deletion request again. Resources are specific to the service that is linked to the role. For more information about removing resources from a service, see the Amazon Web Services documentation for your service.

For more information about service-linked roles, see Roles terms and concepts: Amazon Web Services service-linked role in the IAM User Guide .

    For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

Returns

None

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.LimitExceededException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.InvalidInputException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException
enable_mfa_device(**kwargs)

Enables the specified MFA device and associates it with the specified IAM user. When enabled, the MFA device is required for every subsequent login by the IAM user associated with the device.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.enable_mfa_device(
    UserName='string',
    SerialNumber='string',
    AuthenticationCode1='string',
    AuthenticationCode2='string'
)
Parameters
  • UserName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the IAM user for whom you want to enable the MFA device.

    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: _+=,.@-

  • SerialNumber (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The serial number that uniquely identifies the MFA device. For virtual MFA devices, the serial number is the device ARN.

    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: =,.@:/-

  • AuthenticationCode1 (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    An authentication code emitted by the device.

    The format for this parameter is a string of six digits.

    Warning

    Submit your request immediately after generating the authentication codes. If you generate the codes and then wait too long to submit the request, the MFA device successfully associates with the user but the MFA device becomes out of sync. This happens because time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) expire after a short period of time. If this happens, you can resync the device.

  • AuthenticationCode2 (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A subsequent authentication code emitted by the device.

    The format for this parameter is a string of six digits.

    Warning

    Submit your request immediately after generating the authentication codes. If you generate the codes and then wait too long to submit the request, the MFA device successfully associates with the user but the MFA device becomes out of sync. This happens because time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) expire after a short period of time. If this happens, you can resync the device.

Returns

None

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.EntityAlreadyExistsException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.EntityTemporarilyUnmodifiableException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.InvalidAuthenticationCodeException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.LimitExceededException

      Information about the state of the credential report.

    • Description (string) --

      Information about the credential report.

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.LimitExceededException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException
generate_organizations_access_report(**kwargs)

Generates a report for service last accessed data for Organizations. You can generate a report for any entities (organization root, organizational unit, or account) or policies in your organization.

To call this operation, you must be signed in using your Organizations management account credentials. You can use your long-term IAM user or root user credentials, or temporary credentials from assuming an IAM role. SCPs must be enabled for your organization root. You must have the required IAM and Organizations permissions. For more information, see Refining permissions using service last accessed data in the IAM User Guide .

You can generate a service last accessed data report for entities by specifying only the entity's path. This data includes a list of services that are allowed by any service control policies (SCPs) that apply to the entity.

You can generate a service last accessed data report for a policy by specifying an entity's path and an optional Organizations policy ID. This data includes a list of services that are allowed by the specified SCP.

For each service in both report types, the data includes the most recent account activity that the policy allows to account principals in the entity or the entity's children. For important information about the data, reporting period, permissions required, troubleshooting, and supported Regions see Reducing permissions using service last accessed data in the IAM User Guide .

Warning

The data includes all attempts to access Amazon Web Services, not just the successful ones. This includes all attempts that were made using the Amazon Web Services Management Console, the Amazon Web Services API through any of the SDKs, or any of the command line tools. An unexpected entry in the service last accessed data does not mean that an account has been compromised, because the request might have been denied. Refer to your CloudTrail logs as the authoritative source for information about all API calls and whether they were successful or denied access. For more information, see Logging IAM events with CloudTrail in the IAM User Guide .

This operation returns a JobId . Use this parameter in the GetOrganizationsAccessReport operation to check the status of the report generation. To check the status of this request, use the JobId parameter in the GetOrganizationsAccessReport operation and test the JobStatus response parameter. When the job is complete, you can retrieve the report.

To generate a service last accessed data report for entities, specify an entity path without specifying the optional Organizations policy ID. The type of entity that you specify determines the data returned in the report.

  • Root – When you specify the organizations root as the entity, the resulting report lists all of the services allowed by SCPs that are attached to your root. For each service, the report includes data for all accounts in your organization except the management account, because the management account is not limited by SCPs.
  • OU – When you specify an organizational unit (OU) as the entity, the resulting report lists all of the services allowed by SCPs that are attached to the OU and its parents. For each service, the report includes data for all accounts in the OU or its children. This data excludes the management account, because the management account is not limited by SCPs.
  • management account – When you specify the management account, the resulting report lists all Amazon Web Services services, because the management account is not limited by SCPs. For each service, the report includes data for only the management account.
  • Account – When you specify another account as the entity, the resulting report lists all of the services allowed by SCPs that are attached to the account and its parents. For each service, the report includes data for only the specified account.

To generate a service last accessed data report for policies, specify an entity path and the optional Organizations policy ID. The type of entity that you specify determines the data returned for each service.

  • Root – When you specify the root entity and a policy ID, the resulting report lists all of the services that are allowed by the specified SCP. For each service, the report includes data for all accounts in your organization to which the SCP applies. This data excludes the management account, because the management account is not limited by SCPs. If the SCP is not attached to any entities in the organization, then the report will return a list of services with no data.
  • OU – When you specify an OU entity and a policy ID, the resulting report lists all of the services that are allowed by the specified SCP. For each service, the report includes data for all accounts in the OU or its children to which the SCP applies. This means that other accounts outside the OU that are affected by the SCP might not be included in the data. This data excludes the management account, because the management account is not limited by SCPs. If the SCP is not attached to the OU or one of its children, the report will return a list of services with no data.
  • management account – When you specify the management account, the resulting report lists all Amazon Web Services services, because the management account is not limited by SCPs. If you specify a policy ID in the CLI or API, the policy is ignored. For each service, the report includes data for only the management account.
  • Account – When you specify another account entity and a policy ID, the resulting report lists all of the services that are allowed by the specified SCP. For each service, the report includes data for only the specified account. This means that other accounts in the organization that are affected by the SCP might not be included in the data. If the SCP is not attached to the account, the report will return a list of services with no data.

Note

Service last accessed data does not use other policy types when determining whether a principal could access a service. These other policy types include identity-based policies, resource-based policies, access control lists, IAM permissions boundaries, and STS assume role policies. It only applies SCP logic. For more about the evaluation of policy types, see Evaluating policies in the IAM User Guide .

For more information about service last accessed data, see Reducing policy scope by viewing user activity in the IAM User Guide .

Request Syntax

response = client.generate_organizations_access_report(
    EntityPath='string',
    OrganizationsPolicyId='string'
)
Parameters
  • EntityPath (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The path of the Organizations entity (root, OU, or account). You can build an entity path using the known structure of your organization. For example, assume that your account ID is 123456789012 and its parent OU ID is ou-rge0-awsabcde . The organization root ID is r-f6g7h8i9j0example and your organization ID is o-a1b2c3d4e5 . Your entity path is o-a1b2c3d4e5/r-f6g7h8i9j0example/ou-rge0-awsabcde/123456789012 .

  • OrganizationsPolicyId (string) --

    The identifier of the Organizations service control policy (SCP). This parameter is optional.

    This ID is used to generate information about when an account principal that is limited by the SCP attempted to access an Amazon Web Services service.

Return type

{
    'JobId': 'string'
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • JobId (string) --

      The job identifier that you can use in the GetOrganizationsAccessReport operation.

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ReportGenerationLimitExceededException

Examples

The following operation generates a report for the organizational unit ou-rge0-awexample

response = client.generate_organizations_access_report(
    EntityPath='o-a1b2c3d4e5/r-f6g7h8i9j0example/ou-1a2b3c-k9l8m7n6o5example',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'JobId': 'examplea-1234-b567-cde8-90fg123abcd4',
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
generate_service_last_accessed_details(**kwargs)

Generates a report that includes details about when an IAM resource (user, group, role, or policy) was last used in an attempt to access Amazon Web Services services. Recent activity usually appears within four hours. IAM reports activity for at least the last 400 days, or less if your Region began supporting this feature within the last year. For more information, see Regions where data is tracked.

Warning

The service last accessed data includes all attempts to access an Amazon Web Services API, not just the successful ones. This includes all attempts that were made using the Amazon Web Services Management Console, the Amazon Web Services API through any of the SDKs, or any of the command line tools. An unexpected entry in the service last accessed data does not mean that your account has been compromised, because the request might have been denied. Refer to your CloudTrail logs as the authoritative source for information about all API calls and whether they were successful or denied access. For more information, see Logging IAM events with CloudTrail in the IAM User Guide .

The GenerateServiceLastAccessedDetails operation returns a JobId . Use this parameter in the following operations to retrieve the following details from your report:

  • GetServiceLastAccessedDetails – Use this operation for users, groups, roles, or policies to list every Amazon Web Services service that the resource could access using permissions policies. For each service, the response includes information about the most recent access attempt. The JobId returned by GenerateServiceLastAccessedDetail must be used by the same role within a session, or by the same user when used to call GetServiceLastAccessedDetail .
  • GetServiceLastAccessedDetailsWithEntities – Use this operation for groups and policies to list information about the associated entities (users or roles) that attempted to access a specific Amazon Web Services service.

To check the status of the GenerateServiceLastAccessedDetails request, use the JobId parameter in the same operations and test the JobStatus response parameter.

For additional information about the permissions policies that allow an identity (user, group, or role) to access specific services, use the ListPoliciesGrantingServiceAccess operation.

Note

Service last accessed data does not use other policy types when determining whether a resource could access a service. These other policy types include resource-based policies, access control lists, Organizations policies, IAM permissions boundaries, and STS assume role policies. It only applies permissions policy logic. For more about the evaluation of policy types, see Evaluating policies in the IAM User Guide .

For more information about service and action last accessed data, see Reducing permissions using service last accessed data in the IAM User Guide .

get_account_authorization_details(**kwargs)

Retrieves information about all IAM users, groups, roles, and policies in your Amazon Web Services account, including their relationships to one another. Use this operation to obtain a snapshot of the configuration of IAM permissions (users, groups, roles, and policies) in your account.

Note

Policies returned by this operation are URL-encoded compliant with RFC 3986. You can use a URL decoding method to convert the policy back to plain JSON text. For example, if you use Java, you can use the decode method of the java.net.URLDecoder utility class in the Java SDK. Other languages and SDKs provide similar functionality.

You can optionally filter the results using the Filter parameter. You can paginate the results using the MaxItems and Marker parameters.

Request Syntax

response = client.get_account_authorization_details(
    Filter=[
        'User'|'Role'|'Group'|'LocalManagedPolicy'|'AWSManagedPolicy',
    ],
    MaxItems=123,
    Marker='string'
)
Parameters
  • Filter (list) --

    A list of entity types used to filter the results. Only the entities that match the types you specify are included in the output. Use the value LocalManagedPolicy to include customer managed policies.

    The format for this parameter is a comma-separated (if more than one) list of strings. Each string value in the list must be one of the valid values listed below.

          A list containing information about the versions of the policy.

          • (dict) --

            Contains information about a version of a managed policy.

            This data type is used as a response element in the CreatePolicyVersion, GetPolicyVersion, ListPolicyVersions, and GetAccountAuthorizationDetails operations.

            For more information about managed policies, refer to Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide .

            • Document (string) --

              The policy document.

              The policy document is returned in the response to the GetPolicyVersion and GetAccountAuthorizationDetails operations. It is not returned in the response to the CreatePolicyVersion or ListPolicyVersions operations.

              The policy document returned in this structure is URL-encoded compliant with RFC 3986. You can use a URL decoding method to convert the policy back to plain JSON text. For example, if you use Java, you can use the decode method of the java.net.URLDecoder utility class in the Java SDK. Other languages and SDKs provide similar functionality.

            • VersionId (string) --

              The identifier for the policy version.

              Policy version identifiers always begin with v (always lowercase). When a policy is created, the first policy version is v1 .

            • IsDefaultVersion (boolean) --

              Specifies whether the policy version is set as the policy's default version.

            • CreateDate (datetime) --

              The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the policy version was created.

    • 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.

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException
get_account_password_policy()

get_context_keys_for_custom_policy(**kwargs)

Gets a list of all of the context keys referenced in the input policies. The policies are supplied as a list of one or more strings. To get the context keys from policies associated with an IAM user, group, or role, use GetContextKeysForPrincipalPolicy.

Context keys are variables maintained by Amazon Web Services and its services that provide details about the context of an API query request. Context keys can be evaluated by testing against a value specified in an IAM policy. Use GetContextKeysForCustomPolicy to understand what key names and values you must supply when you call SimulateCustomPolicy. Note that all parameters are shown in unencoded form here for clarity but must be URL encoded to be included as a part of a real HTML request.

get_context_keys_for_principal_policy(**kwargs)

Gets a list of all of the context keys referenced in all the IAM policies that are attached to the specified IAM entity. The entity can be an IAM user, group, or role. If you specify a user, then the request also includes all of the policies attached to groups that the user is a member of.

You can optionally include a list of one or more additional policies, specified as strings. If you want to include only a list of policies by string, use GetContextKeysForCustomPolicy instead.

Note: This operation discloses information about the permissions granted to other users. If you do not want users to see other user's permissions, then consider allowing them to use GetContextKeysForCustomPolicy instead.

Context keys are variables maintained by Amazon Web Services and its services that provide details about the context of an API query request. Context keys can be evaluated by testing against a value in an IAM policy. Use GetContextKeysForPrincipalPolicy to understand what key names and values you must supply when you call SimulatePrincipalPolicy.

    • Group (dict) --

      A structure that contains details about the group.

      • Path (string) --

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

      • GroupName (string) --

        The friendly name that identifies the group.

      • GroupId (string) --

        The stable and unique string identifying the group. For more information about IDs, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

      • Arn (string) --

        The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) specifying the group. For more information about ARNs and how to use them in policies, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

        The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the group was created.

    • Users (list) --

      A list of users in the group.

      • (dict) --

        Contains information about an IAM user entity.

        This data type is used as a response element in the following operations:

        • CreateUser
        • GetUser
        • ListUsers
        • Path (string) --

          The path to the user. For more information about paths, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

          The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user.

        • UserName (string) --

          The friendly name identifying the user.

        • UserId (string) --

          The stable and unique string identifying the user. For more information about IDs, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

        • Arn (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the user. For more information about ARNs and how to use ARNs in policies, see IAM Identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

        • CreateDate (datetime) --

          The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the user was created.

        • PasswordLastUsed (datetime) --

          The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the user's password was last used to sign in to an Amazon Web Services website. For a list of Amazon Web Services websites that capture a user's last sign-in time, see the Credential reports topic in the IAM User Guide . If a password is used more than once in a five-minute span, only the first use is returned in this field. If the field is null (no value), then it indicates that they never signed in with a password. This can be because:

          • The user never had a password.
          • A password exists but has not been used since IAM started tracking this information on October 20, 2014.

          A null value does not mean that the user never had a password. Also, if the user does not currently have a password but had one in the past, then this field contains the date and time the most recent password was used.

          This value is returned only in the GetUser and ListUsers operations.

        • Tags (list) --

          A list of tags that are associated with the user. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .

          • (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.

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException
get_group_policy(**kwargs)

Retrieves the specified inline policy document that is embedded in the specified IAM group.

Note

Policies returned by this operation are URL-encoded compliant with RFC 3986. You can use a URL decoding method to convert the policy back to plain JSON text. For example, if you use Java, you can use the decode method of the java.net.URLDecoder utility class in the Java SDK. Other languages and SDKs provide similar functionality.

An IAM group can also have managed policies attached to it. To retrieve a managed policy document that is attached to a group, use GetPolicy to determine the policy's default version, then use GetPolicyVersion to retrieve the policy document.

For more information about policies, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide .

get_login_profile(**kwargs)

Retrieves the user name for the specified IAM user. A login profile is created when you create a password for the user to access the Amazon Web Services Management Console. If the user does not exist or does not have a password, the operation returns a 404 ( NoSuchEntity ) error.

If you create an IAM user with access to the console, the CreateDate reflects the date you created the initial password for the user.

If you create an IAM user with programmatic access, and then later add a password for the user to access the Amazon Web Services Management Console, the CreateDate reflects the initial password creation date. A user with programmatic access does not have a login profile unless you create a password for the user to access the Amazon Web Services Management Console.

get_organizations_access_report(**kwargs)

Retrieves the service last accessed data report for Organizations that was previously generated using the GenerateOrganizationsAccessReport operation. This operation retrieves the status of your report job and the report contents.

Depending on the parameters that you passed when you generated the report, the data returned could include different information. For details, see GenerateOrganizationsAccessReport.

To call this operation, you must be signed in to the management account in your organization. SCPs must be enabled for your organization root. You must have permissions to perform this operation. For more information, see Refining permissions using service last accessed data in the IAM User Guide .

For each service that principals in an account (root users, IAM users, or IAM roles) could access using SCPs, the operation returns details about the most recent access attempt. If there was no attempt, the service is listed without details about the most recent attempt to access the service. If the operation fails, it returns the reason that it failed.

By default, the list is sorted by service namespace.

get_service_last_accessed_details(**kwargs)

Retrieves a service last accessed report that was created using the GenerateServiceLastAccessedDetails operation. You can use the JobId parameter in GetServiceLastAccessedDetails to retrieve the status of your report job. When the report is complete, you can retrieve the generated report. The report includes a list of Amazon Web Services services that the resource (user, group, role, or managed policy) can access.

Note

Service last accessed data does not use other policy types when determining whether a resource could access a service. These other policy types include resource-based policies, access control lists, Organizations policies, IAM permissions boundaries, and STS assume role policies. It only applies permissions policy logic. For more about the evaluation of policy types, see Evaluating policies in the IAM User Guide .

For each service that the resource could access using permissions policies, the operation returns details about the most recent access attempt. If there was no attempt, the service is listed without details about the most recent attempt to access the service. If the operation fails, the GetServiceLastAccessedDetails operation returns the reason that it failed.

The GetServiceLastAccessedDetails operation returns a list of services. This list includes the number of entities that have attempted to access the service and the date and time of the last attempt. It also returns the ARN of the following entity, depending on the resource ARN that you used to generate the report:

  • User – Returns the user ARN that you used to generate the report
  • Group – Returns the ARN of the group member (user) that last attempted to access the service
  • Role – Returns the role ARN that you used to generate the report
  • Policy – Returns the ARN of the user or role that last used the policy to attempt to access the service

By default, the list is sorted by service namespace.

If you specified ACTION_LEVEL granularity when you generated the report, this operation returns service and action last accessed data. This includes the most recent access attempt for each tracked action within a service. Otherwise, this operation returns only service data.

For more information about service and action last accessed data, see Reducing permissions using service last accessed data in the IAM User Guide .

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.get_service_last_accessed_details(
    JobId='string',
    MaxItems=123,
    Marker='string'
)
Parameters
  • JobId (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The ID of the request generated by the GenerateServiceLastAccessedDetails operation. The JobId returned by GenerateServiceLastAccessedDetail must be used by the same role within a session, or by the same user when used to call GetServiceLastAccessedDetail .

  • 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.

  • 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.

get_service_last_accessed_details_with_entities(**kwargs)

After you generate a group or policy report using the GenerateServiceLastAccessedDetails operation, you can use the JobId parameter in GetServiceLastAccessedDetailsWithEntities . This operation retrieves the status of your report job and a list of entities that could have used group or policy permissions to access the specified service.

  • Group – For a group report, this operation returns a list of users in the group that could have used the group’s policies in an attempt to access the service.
  • Policy – For a policy report, this operation returns a list of entities (users or roles) that could have used the policy in an attempt to access the service.

You can also use this operation for user or role reports to retrieve details about those entities.

If the operation fails, the GetServiceLastAccessedDetailsWithEntities operation returns the reason that it failed.

By default, the list of associated entities is sorted by date, with the most recent access listed first.

      Warning

      Due to a service issue, password last used data does not include password use from May 3, 2018 22:50 PDT to May 23, 2018 14:08 PDT. This affects last sign-in dates shown in the IAM console and password last used dates in the IAM credential report, and returned by this operation. If users signed in during the affected time, the password last used date that is returned is the date the user last signed in before May 3, 2018. For users that signed in after May 23, 2018 14:08 PDT, the returned password last used date is accurate.

      You can use password last used information to identify unused credentials for deletion. For example, you might delete users who did not sign in to Amazon Web Services in the last 90 days. In cases like this, we recommend that you adjust your evaluation window to include dates after May 23, 2018. Alternatively, if your users use access keys to access Amazon Web Services programmatically you can refer to access key last used information because it is accurate for all dates.

      • Path (string) --

        The path to the user. For more information about paths, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

        The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user.

      • UserName (string) --

        The friendly name identifying the user.

      • UserId (string) --

        The stable and unique string identifying the user. For more information about IDs, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

      • Arn (string) --

        The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the user. For more information about ARNs and how to use ARNs in policies, see IAM Identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

      • CreateDate (datetime) --

        The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the user was created.

      • PasswordLastUsed (datetime) --

        The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the user's password was last used to sign in to an Amazon Web Services website. For a list of Amazon Web Services websites that capture a user's last sign-in time, see the Credential reports topic in the IAM User Guide . If a password is used more than once in a five-minute span, only the first use is returned in this field. If the field is null (no value), then it indicates that they never signed in with a password. This can be because:

        • The user never had a password.
        • A password exists but has not been used since IAM started tracking this information on October 20, 2014.

        A null value does not mean that the user never had a password. Also, if the user does not currently have a password but had one in the past, then this field contains the date and time the most recent password was used.

        This value is returned only in the GetUser and ListUsers operations.

      • PermissionsBoundary (dict) --

        For more information about permissions boundaries, see Permissions boundaries for IAM identities in the IAM User Guide .

        • PermissionsBoundaryType (string) --

          The permissions boundary usage type that indicates what type of IAM resource is used as the permissions boundary for an entity. This data type can only have a value of Policy .

        • PermissionsBoundaryArn (string) --

          The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user or role.

      • Tags (list) --

        A list of tags that are associated with the user. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .

        • (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.

Exceptions

Examples

The following command gets information about the IAM user named Bob.

response = client.get_user(

get_user_policy(**kwargs)

Retrieves the specified inline policy document that is embedded in the specified IAM user.

Note

Policies returned by this operation are URL-encoded compliant with RFC 3986. You can use a URL decoding method to convert the policy back to plain JSON text. For example, if you use Java, you can use the decode method of the java.net.URLDecoder utility class in the Java SDK. Other languages and SDKs provide similar functionality.

An IAM user can also have managed policies attached to it. To retrieve a managed policy document that is attached to a user, use GetPolicy to determine the policy's default version. Then use GetPolicyVersion to retrieve the policy document.

For more information about policies, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide .

)
Parameters
  • UserName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the user who the policy is associated with.

    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: _+=,.@-

  • PolicyName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the policy document to get.

Returns

Response Syntax

{
    'UserName': 'string',
    'PolicyName': 'string',
    'PolicyDocument': 'string'
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    Contains the response to a successful GetUserPolicy request.

    • UserName (string) --

      The user the policy is associated with.

    • PolicyName (string) --

      The name of the policy.

    • PolicyDocument (string) --

      The policy document.

      IAM stores policies in JSON format. However, resources that were created using CloudFormation templates can be formatted in YAML. CloudFormation always converts a YAML policy to JSON format before submitting it to IAM.

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException
get_waiter(waiter_name)

Returns an object that can wait for some condition.

Parameters
waiter_name (str) -- The name of the waiter to get. See the waiters section of the service docs for a list of available waiters.
Returns
The specified waiter object.
Return type
botocore.waiter.Waiter
list_access_keys(**kwargs)

Returns information about the access key IDs associated with the specified IAM user. If there is none, the operation returns an empty list.

Although each user is limited to a small number of keys, you can still paginate the results using the MaxItems and Marker parameters.

If the UserName is not specified, the user name is determined implicitly based on the Amazon Web Services access key ID used to sign the request. If a temporary access key is used, then UserName is required. If a long-term key is assigned to the user, then UserName is not required. This operation works for access keys under the Amazon Web Services account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage Amazon Web Services account root user credentials even if the Amazon Web Services account has no associated users.

Note

To ensure the security of your Amazon Web Services account, the secret access key is accessible only during key and user creation.

Request Syntax

response = client.list_access_keys(
    UserName='string',
    Marker='string',
    MaxItems=123
)
Parameters
  • UserName (string) --

    The name of the user.

    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.

  • PolicyArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM policy for which you want the versions.

    For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

  • EntityFilter (string) --

    The entity type to use for filtering the results.

    For example, when EntityFilter is Role , only the roles that are attached to the specified policy are returned. This parameter is optional. If it is not included, all attached entities (users, groups, and roles) are returned. The argument for this parameter must be one of the valid values listed below.

  • PathPrefix (string) --

    The path prefix for filtering the results. This parameter is optional. If it is not included, it defaults to a slash (/), listing all entities.

    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.

  • PolicyUsageFilter (string) --

    The policy usage method to use for filtering the results.

    To list only permissions policies, set PolicyUsageFilter to PermissionsPolicy . To list only the policies used to set permissions boundaries, set the value to PermissionsBoundary .

    This parameter is optional. If it is not included, all policies are returned.

  • 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.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • Tags (list) --

      The list of tags that are currently attached to the IAM instance profile. 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.

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException
list_instance_profiles(**kwargs)

Lists the instance profiles that have the specified path prefix. If there are none, the operation returns an empty list. For more information about instance profiles, see About instance profiles.

Note

IAM resource-listing operations return a subset of the available attributes for the resource. For example, this operation does not return tags, even though they are an attribute of the returned object. To view all of the information for an instance profile, see GetInstanceProfile.

You can paginate the results using the MaxItems and Marker parameters.

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.

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException
list_instance_profiles_for_role(**kwargs)

Lists the instance profiles that have the specified associated IAM role. If there are none, the operation returns an empty list. For more information about instance profiles, go to About instance profiles.

You can paginate the results using the MaxItems and Marker parameters.

Parameters
  • RoleName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the role to list instance profiles for.

    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.

list_policies_granting_service_access(**kwargs)

Retrieves a list of policies that the IAM identity (user, group, or role) can use to access each specified service.

Note

This operation does not use other policy types when determining whether a resource could access a service. These other policy types include resource-based policies, access control lists, Organizations policies, IAM permissions boundaries, and STS assume role policies. It only applies permissions policy logic. For more about the evaluation of policy types, see Evaluating policies in the IAM User Guide .

The list of policies returned by the operation depends on the ARN of the identity that you provide.

  • User – The list of policies includes the managed and inline policies that are attached to the user directly. The list also includes any additional managed and inline policies that are attached to the group to which the user belongs.
  • Group – The list of policies includes only the managed and inline policies that are attached to the group directly. Policies that are attached to the group’s user are not included.
  • Role – The list of policies includes only the managed and inline policies that are attached to the role.

For each managed policy, this operation returns the ARN and policy name. For each inline policy, it returns the policy name and the entity to which it is attached. Inline policies do not have an ARN. For more information about these policy types, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide .

Policies that are attached to users and roles as permissions boundaries are not returned. To view which managed policy is currently used to set the permissions boundary for a user or role, use the GetUser or GetRole operations.

        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.

Exceptions

  • 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.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • Tags (list) --

      The list of tags that are currently attached to the IAM server certificate. 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.

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException
list_server_certificates(**kwargs)

Lists the server certificates stored in IAM that have the specified path prefix. If none exist, the operation returns an empty list.

You can paginate the results using the MaxItems and Marker parameters.

For more information about working with server certificates, see Working with server certificates in the IAM User Guide . This topic also includes a list of Amazon Web Services services that can use the server certificates that you manage with IAM.

Note

IAM resource-listing operations return a subset of the available attributes for the resource. For example, this operation does not return tags, even though they are an attribute of the returned object. To view all of the information for a servercertificate, see GetServerCertificate.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    Contains the response to a successful ListUsers request.

    • Users (list) --

      A list of users.

      • (dict) --

        Contains information about an IAM user entity.

        This data type is used as a response element in the following operations:

        • CreateUser
        • GetUser
        • ListUsers
        • Path (string) --

          The path to the user. For more information about paths, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

          The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user.

        • UserName (string) --

          The friendly name identifying the user.

        • UserId (string) --

          The stable and unique string identifying the user. For more information about IDs, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

        • Arn (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the user. For more information about ARNs and how to use ARNs in policies, see IAM Identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

        • CreateDate (datetime) --

          The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the user was created.

        • PasswordLastUsed (datetime) --

          The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the user's password was last used to sign in to an Amazon Web Services website. For a list of Amazon Web Services websites that capture a user's last sign-in time, see the Credential reports topic in the IAM User Guide . If a password is used more than once in a five-minute span, only the first use is returned in this field. If the field is null (no value), then it indicates that they never signed in with a password. This can be because:

          • The user never had a password.
          • A password exists but has not been used since IAM started tracking this information on October 20, 2014.

          A null value does not mean that the user never had a password. Also, if the user does not currently have a password but had one in the past, then this field contains the date and time the most recent password was used.

          This value is returned only in the GetUser and ListUsers operations.

        • PermissionsBoundary (dict) --

          For more information about permissions boundaries, see Permissions boundaries for IAM identities in the IAM User Guide .

          • PermissionsBoundaryType (string) --

            The permissions boundary usage type that indicates what type of IAM resource is used as the permissions boundary for an entity. This data type can only have a value of Policy .

          • PermissionsBoundaryArn (string) --

            The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user or role.

        • Tags (list) --

          A list of tags that are associated with the user. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .

          • (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.

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException

Examples

The following command lists the IAM users in the current account.

response = client.list_users(
)

print(response)

list_virtual_mfa_devices(**kwargs)

Lists the virtual MFA devices defined in the Amazon Web Services account by assignment status. If you do not specify an assignment status, the operation returns a list of all virtual MFA devices. Assignment status can be Assigned , Unassigned , or Any .

Note

IAM resource-listing operations return a subset of the available attributes for the resource. For example, this operation does not return tags, even though they are an attribute of the returned object. To view tag information for a virtual MFA device, see ListMFADeviceTags.

You can paginate the results using the MaxItems and Marker parameters.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.list_virtual_mfa_devices(
    AssignmentStatus='Assigned'|'Unassigned'|'Any',
    Marker='string',
    MaxItems=123
)
Parameters
  • AssignmentStatus (string) -- The status ( Unassigned or Assigned ) of the devices to list. If you do not specify an AssignmentStatus , the operation defaults to Any , which lists both assigned and unassigned virtual MFA devices.,
  • 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.

Request Syntax

response = client.put_group_policy(
    GroupName='string',
    PolicyName='string',
    PolicyDocument='string'
)
Parameters
  • GroupName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the group to associate the policy with.

    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: _+=,.@-.

  • PolicyName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the policy document.

    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: _+=,.@-

  • PolicyDocument (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The policy document.

    You must provide policies in JSON format in IAM. However, for CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. CloudFormation always converts a YAML policy to JSON format before submitting it to = IAM.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
Returns

None

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.LimitExceededException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.MalformedPolicyDocumentException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException

Examples

The following command adds a policy named AllPerms to the IAM group named Admins.

response = client.put_group_policy(
    GroupName='Admins',
    PolicyDocument='{"Version":"2012-10-17","Statement":{"Effect":"Allow","Action":"*","Resource":"*"}}',
    PolicyName='AllPerms',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
put_role_permissions_boundary(**kwargs)

Adds or updates the policy that is specified as the IAM role's permissions boundary. You can use an Amazon Web Services managed policy or a customer managed policy to set the boundary for a role. Use the boundary to control the maximum permissions that the role can have. Setting a permissions boundary is an advanced feature that can affect the permissions for the role.

You cannot set the boundary for a service-linked role.

Warning

Policies used as permissions boundaries do not provide permissions. You must also attach a permissions policy to the role. To learn how the effective permissions for a role are evaluated, see IAM JSON policy evaluation logic in the IAM User Guide.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.put_role_permissions_boundary(
    RoleName='string',
    PermissionsBoundary='string'
)
Parameters
  • RoleName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name (friendly name, not ARN) of the IAM role for which you want to set the permissions boundary.

  • PermissionsBoundary (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The ARN of the managed policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the role.

    A permissions boundary policy defines the maximum permissions that identity-based policies can grant to an entity, but does not grant permissions. Permissions boundaries do not define the maximum permissions that a resource-based policy can grant to an entity. To learn more, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the IAM User Guide .

    For more information about policy types, see Policy types in the IAM User Guide .

Returns

None

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.PolicyNotAttachableException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException
put_role_policy(**kwargs)

Adds or updates an inline policy document that is embedded in the specified IAM role.

When you embed an inline policy in a role, the inline policy is used as part of the role's access (permissions) policy. The role's trust policy is created at the same time as the role, using CreateRole. You can update a role's trust policy using UpdateAssumeRolePolicy. For more information about IAM roles, see Using roles to delegate permissions and federate identities.

A role can also have a managed policy attached to it. To attach a managed policy to a role, use AttachRolePolicy. To create a new managed policy, use CreatePolicy. For information about policies, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide .

For information about the maximum number of inline policies that you can embed with a role, see IAM and STS quotas in the IAM User Guide .

  • PermissionsBoundary (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The ARN of the managed policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the user.

    A permissions boundary policy defines the maximum permissions that identity-based policies can grant to an entity, but does not grant permissions. Permissions boundaries do not define the maximum permissions that a resource-based policy can grant to an entity. To learn more, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the IAM User Guide .

    For more information about policy types, see Policy types in the IAM User Guide .

Returns

None

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.InvalidInputException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.PolicyNotAttachableException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException
put_user_policy(**kwargs)

Adds or updates an inline policy document that is embedded in the specified IAM user.

An IAM user can also have a managed policy attached to it. To attach a managed policy to a user, use AttachUserPolicy. To create a new managed policy, use CreatePolicy. For information about policies, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide .

For information about the maximum number of inline policies that you can embed in a user, see IAM and STS quotas in the IAM User Guide .

Note

Because policy documents can be large, you should use POST rather than GET when calling PutUserPolicy . For general information about using the Query API with IAM, see Making query requests in the IAM User Guide .

    PolicyArn='string',
    VersionId='string'
)
Parameters
  • PolicyArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException
set_security_token_service_preferences(**kwargs)

Sets the specified version of the global endpoint token as the token version used for the Amazon Web Services account.

By default, Security Token Service (STS) is available as a global service, and all STS requests go to a single endpoint at https://sts.amazonaws.com . Amazon Web Services recommends using Regional STS endpoints to reduce latency, build in redundancy, and increase session token availability. For information about Regional endpoints for STS, see Security Token Service endpoints and quotas in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

If you make an STS call to the global endpoint, the resulting session tokens might be valid in some Regions but not others. It depends on the version that is set in this operation. Version 1 tokens are valid only in Amazon Web Services Regions that are available by default. These tokens do not work in manually enabled Regions, such as Asia Pacific (Hong Kong). Version 2 tokens are valid in all Regions. However, version 2 tokens are longer and might affect systems where you temporarily store tokens. For information, see Activating and deactivating STS in an Amazon Web Services Region in the IAM User Guide .

To view the current session token version, see the GlobalEndpointTokenVersion entry in the response of the GetAccountSummary operation.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.set_security_token_service_preferences(
    GlobalEndpointTokenVersion='v1Token'|'v2Token'
)
Parameters
GlobalEndpointTokenVersion (string) --

[REQUIRED]

The version of the global endpoint token. Version 1 tokens are valid only in Amazon Web Services Regions that are available by default. These tokens do not work in manually enabled Regions, such as Asia Pacific (Hong Kong). Version 2 tokens are valid in all Regions. However, version 2 tokens are longer and might affect systems where you temporarily store tokens.

For information, see Activating and deactivating STS in an Amazon Web Services Region in the IAM User Guide .

Returns
None

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException

Examples

The following command sets the STS global endpoint token to version 2. Version 2 tokens are valid in all Regions.

response = client.set_security_token_service_preferences(
    GlobalEndpointTokenVersion='v2Token',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
simulate_custom_policy(**kwargs)

Simulate how a set of IAM policies and optionally a resource-based policy works with a list of API operations and Amazon Web Services resources to determine the policies' effective permissions. The policies are provided as strings.

The simulation does not perform the API operations; it only checks the authorization to determine if the simulated policies allow or deny the operations. You can simulate resources that don't exist in your account.

If you want to simulate existing policies that are attached to an IAM user, group, or role, use SimulatePrincipalPolicy instead.

Context keys are variables that are maintained by Amazon Web Services and its services and which provide details about the context of an API query request. You can use the Condition element of an IAM policy to evaluate context keys. To get the list of context keys that the policies require for correct simulation, use GetContextKeysForCustomPolicy.

If the output is long, you can use MaxItems and Marker parameters to paginate the results.

Note

The IAM policy simulator evaluates statements in the identity-based policy and the inputs that you provide during simulation. The policy simulator results can differ from your live Amazon Web Services environment. We recommend that you check your policies against your live Amazon Web Services environment after testing using the policy simulator to confirm that you have the desired results. For more information about using the policy simulator, see Testing IAM policies with the IAM policy simulator in the IAM User Guide .

        },
    ],
    ResourceHandlingOption='string',
    MaxItems=123,
    Marker='string'
)
Parameters
  • PolicyInputList (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A list of policy documents to include in the simulation. Each document is specified as a string containing the complete, valid JSON text of an IAM policy. Do not include any resource-based policies in this parameter. Any resource-based policy must be submitted with the ResourcePolicy parameter. The policies cannot be "scope-down" policies, such as you could include in a call to GetFederationToken or one of the AssumeRole API operations. In other words, do not use policies designed to restrict what a user can do while using the temporary credentials.

    The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
    • (string) --
  • PermissionsBoundaryPolicyInputList (list) --

    The IAM permissions boundary policy to simulate. The permissions boundary sets the maximum permissions that an IAM entity can have. You can input only one permissions boundary when you pass a policy to this operation. For more information about permissions boundaries, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the IAM User Guide . The policy input is specified as a string that contains the complete, valid JSON text of a permissions boundary policy.

    The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
    • (string) --
  • ActionNames (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A list of names of API operations to evaluate in the simulation. Each operation is evaluated against each resource. Each operation must include the service identifier, such as iam:CreateUser . This operation does not support using wildcards (*) in an action name.

    • (string) --
  • ResourceArns (list) --

    A list of ARNs of Amazon Web Services resources to include in the simulation. If this parameter is not provided, then the value defaults to * (all resources). Each API in the ActionNames parameter is evaluated for each resource in this list. The simulation determines the access result (allowed or denied) of each combination and reports it in the response. You can simulate resources that don't exist in your account.

    The simulation does not automatically retrieve policies for the specified resources. If you want to include a resource policy in the simulation, then you must include the policy as a string in the ResourcePolicy parameter.

    If you include a ResourcePolicy , then it must be applicable to all of the resources included in the simulation or you receive an invalid input error.

    For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

    Note

    Simulation of resource-based policies isn't supported for IAM roles.

    • (string) --
  • ResourcePolicy (string) --

    A resource-based policy to include in the simulation provided as a string. Each resource in the simulation is treated as if it had this policy attached. You can include only one resource-based policy in a simulation.

    The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )

    Note

    Simulation of resource-based policies isn't supported for IAM roles.

  • ResourceOwner (string) --

    An ARN representing the Amazon Web Services account ID that specifies the owner of any simulated resource that does not identify its owner in the resource ARN. Examples of resource ARNs include an S3 bucket or object. If ResourceOwner is specified, it is also used as the account owner of any ResourcePolicy included in the simulation. If the ResourceOwner parameter is not specified, then the owner of the resources and the resource policy defaults to the account of the identity provided in CallerArn . This parameter is required only if you specify a resource-based policy and account that owns the resource is different from the account that owns the simulated calling user CallerArn .

    The ARN for an account uses the following syntax: arn:aws:iam::AWS-account-ID:root . For example, to represent the account with the 112233445566 ID, use the following ARN: arn:aws:iam::112233445566-ID:root .

  • CallerArn (string) --

    The ARN of the IAM user that you want to use as the simulated caller of the API operations. CallerArn is required if you include a ResourcePolicy so that the policy's Principal element has a value to use in evaluating the policy.

    You can specify only the ARN of an IAM user. You cannot specify the ARN of an assumed role, federated user, or a service principal.

  • ContextEntries (list) --

    A list of context keys and corresponding values for the simulation to use. Whenever a context key is evaluated in one of the simulated IAM permissions policies, the corresponding value is supplied.

    • (dict) --

      Contains information about a condition context key. It includes the name of the key and specifies the value (or values, if the context key supports multiple values) to use in the simulation. This information is used when evaluating the Condition elements of the input policies.

      This data type is used as an input parameter to SimulateCustomPolicy and SimulatePrincipalPolicy.

      • ContextKeyName (string) --

        The full name of a condition context key, including the service prefix. For example, aws:SourceIp or s3:VersionId .

      • ContextKeyValues (list) --

        The value (or values, if the condition context key supports multiple values) to provide to the simulation when the key is referenced by a Condition element in an input policy.

        • (string) --
      • ContextKeyType (string) --

        The data type of the value (or values) specified in the ContextKeyValues parameter.

  • ResourceHandlingOption (string) --

    Specifies the type of simulation to run. Different API operations that support resource-based policies require different combinations of resources. By specifying the type of simulation to run, you enable the policy simulator to enforce the presence of the required resources to ensure reliable simulation results. If your simulation does not match one of the following scenarios, then you can omit this parameter. The following list shows each of the supported scenario values and the resources that you must define to run the simulation.

    Each of the EC2 scenarios requires that you specify instance, image, and security group resources. If your scenario includes an EBS volume, then you must specify that volume as a resource. If the EC2 scenario includes VPC, then you must supply the network interface resource. If it includes an IP subnet, then you must specify the subnet resource. For more information on the EC2 scenario options, see Supported platforms in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

    • EC2-VPC-InstanceStore instance, image, security group, network interface
    • EC2-VPC-InstanceStore-Subnet instance, image, security group, network interface, subnet
    • EC2-VPC-EBS instance, image, security group, network interface, volume
    • EC2-VPC-EBS-Subnet instance, image, security group, network interface, subnet, volume
  • 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.

  • 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.

    • EvaluationResults (list) --

      The results of the simulation.

      • (dict) --

        Contains the results of a simulation.

        This data type is used by the return parameter of SimulateCustomPolicy and SimulatePrincipalPolicy .

        • EvalActionName (string) --

          The name of the API operation tested on the indicated resource.

        • EvalResourceName (string) --

          The ARN of the resource that the indicated API operation was tested on.

          The result of the simulation.

        • MatchedStatements (list) --

          A list of the statements in the input policies that determine the result for this scenario. Remember that even if multiple statements allow the operation on the resource, if only one statement denies that operation, then the explicit deny overrides any allow. In addition, the deny statement is the only entry included in the result.

          • (dict) --

            Contains a reference to a Statement element in a policy document that determines the result of the simulation.

            This data type is used by the MatchedStatements member of the EvaluationResult type.

            • SourcePolicyId (string) --

              The identifier of the policy that was provided as an input.

            • SourcePolicyType (string) --

              The type of the policy.

            • StartPosition (dict) --

              The row and column of the beginning of the Statement in an IAM policy.

              • Line (integer) --

                The line containing the specified position in the document.

              • Column (integer) --

                The column in the line containing the specified position in the document.

            • EndPosition (dict) --

              The row and column of the end of a Statement in an IAM policy.

              • Column (integer) --

                The column in the line containing the specified position in the document.

        • MissingContextValues (list) --

          A list of context keys that are required by the included input policies but that were not provided by one of the input parameters. This list is used when the resource in a simulation is "*", either explicitly, or when the ResourceArns parameter blank. If you include a list of resources, then any missing context values are instead included under the ResourceSpecificResults section. To discover the context keys used by a set of policies, you can call GetContextKeysForCustomPolicy or GetContextKeysForPrincipalPolicy.

          • (string) --
        • OrganizationsDecisionDetail (dict) --

          A structure that details how Organizations and its service control policies affect the results of the simulation. Only applies if the simulated user's account is part of an organization.

          • AllowedByOrganizations (boolean) --

            Specifies whether the simulated operation is allowed by the Organizations service control policies that impact the simulated user's account.

        • PermissionsBoundaryDecisionDetail (dict) --

          Contains information about the effect that a permissions boundary has on a policy simulation when the boundary is applied to an IAM entity.

          • AllowedByPermissionsBoundary (boolean) --

            Specifies whether an action is allowed by a permissions boundary that is applied to an IAM entity (user or role). A value of true means that the permissions boundary does not deny the action. This means that the policy includes an Allow statement that matches the request. In this case, if an identity-based policy also allows the action, the request is allowed. A value of false means that either the requested action is not allowed (implicitly denied) or that the action is explicitly denied by the permissions boundary. In both of these cases, the action is not allowed, regardless of the identity-based policy.

        • EvalDecisionDetails (dict) --

          Additional details about the results of the cross-account evaluation decision. This parameter is populated for only cross-account simulations. It contains a brief summary of how each policy type contributes to the final evaluation decision.

          If the simulation evaluates policies within the same account and includes a resource ARN, then the parameter is present but the response is empty. If the simulation evaluates policies within the same account and specifies all resources ( * ), then the parameter is not returned.

          When you make a cross-account request, Amazon Web Services evaluates the request in the trusting account and the trusted account. The request is allowed only if both evaluations return true . For more information about how policies are evaluated, see Evaluating policies within a single account.

          If an Organizations SCP included in the evaluation denies access, the simulation ends. In this case, policy evaluation does not proceed any further and this parameter is not returned.

          • (string) --
            • (string) --
        • ResourceSpecificResults (list) --

          The individual results of the simulation of the API operation specified in EvalActionName on each resource.

          • (dict) --

            Contains the result of the simulation of a single API operation call on a single resource.

            This data type is used by a member of the EvaluationResult data type.

            • EvalResourceName (string) --

              The name of the simulated resource, in Amazon Resource Name (ARN) format.

            • EvalResourceDecision (string) --

              The result of the simulation of the simulated API operation on the resource specified in EvalResourceName .

            • MatchedStatements (list) --

              A list of the statements in the input policies that determine the result for this part of the simulation. Remember that even if multiple statements allow the operation on the resource, if any statement denies that operation, then the explicit deny overrides any allow. In addition, the deny statement is the only entry included in the result.

              • (dict) --

                Contains a reference to a Statement element in a policy document that determines the result of the simulation.

                This data type is used by the MatchedStatements member of the EvaluationResult type.

                • SourcePolicyId (string) --

                  The identifier of the policy that was provided as an input.

                • SourcePolicyType (string) --

                  The type of the policy.

                • StartPosition (dict) --

                  The row and column of the beginning of the Statement in an IAM policy.

                  • Line (integer) --

                    The line containing the specified position in the document.

                  • Column (integer) --

                    The column in the line containing the specified position in the document.

                • EndPosition (dict) --

                  The row and column of the end of a Statement in an IAM policy.

                  • Line (integer) --

                    The line containing the specified position in the document.

                  • Column (integer) --

                    The column in the line containing the specified position in the document.

            • MissingContextValues (list) --

              A list of context keys that are required by the included input policies but that were not provided by one of the input parameters. This list is used when a list of ARNs is included in the ResourceArns parameter instead of "*". If you do not specify individual resources, by setting ResourceArns to "*" or by not including the ResourceArns parameter, then any missing context values are instead included under the EvaluationResults section. To discover the context keys used by a set of policies, you can call GetContextKeysForCustomPolicy or GetContextKeysForPrincipalPolicy.

              • (string) --
            • EvalDecisionDetails (dict) --

              Additional details about the results of the evaluation decision on a single resource. This parameter is returned only for cross-account simulations. This parameter explains how each policy type contributes to the resource-specific evaluation decision.

              • (string) --
                • (string) --
            • PermissionsBoundaryDecisionDetail (dict) --

              Contains information about the effect that a permissions boundary has on a policy simulation when that boundary is applied to an IAM entity.

              • AllowedByPermissionsBoundary (boolean) --

                Specifies whether an action is allowed by a permissions boundary that is applied to an IAM entity (user or role). A value of true means that the permissions boundary does not deny the action. This means that the policy includes an Allow statement that matches the request. In this case, if an identity-based policy also allows the action, the request is allowed. A value of false means that either the requested action is not allowed (implicitly denied) or that the action is explicitly denied by the permissions boundary. In both of these cases, the action is not allowed, regardless of the identity-based policy.

    • 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.

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.InvalidInputException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.PolicyEvaluationException
simulate_principal_policy(**kwargs)

Simulate how a set of IAM policies attached to an IAM entity works with a list of API operations and Amazon Web Services resources to determine the policies' effective permissions. The entity can be an IAM user, group, or role. If you specify a user, then the simulation also includes all of the policies that are attached to groups that the user belongs to. You can simulate resources that don't exist in your account.

You can optionally include a list of one or more additional policies specified as strings to include in the simulation. If you want to simulate only policies specified as strings, use SimulateCustomPolicy instead.

You can also optionally include one resource-based policy to be evaluated with each of the resources included in the simulation for IAM users only.

The simulation does not perform the API operations; it only checks the authorization to determine if the simulated policies allow or deny the operations.

Note: This operation discloses information about the permissions granted to other users. If you do not want users to see other user's permissions, then consider allowing them to use SimulateCustomPolicy instead.

Context keys are variables maintained by Amazon Web Services and its services that provide details about the context of an API query request. You can use the Condition element of an IAM policy to evaluate context keys. To get the list of context keys that the policies require for correct simulation, use GetContextKeysForPrincipalPolicy.

If the output is long, you can use the MaxItems and Marker parameters to paginate the results.

Note

The IAM policy simulator evaluates statements in the identity-based policy and the inputs that you provide during simulation. The policy simulator results can differ from your live Amazon Web Services environment. We recommend that you check your policies against your live Amazon Web Services environment after testing using the policy simulator to confirm that you have the desired results. For more information about using the policy simulator, see Testing IAM policies with the IAM policy simulator in the IAM User Guide .

Parameters
  • PolicySourceArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a user, group, or role whose policies you want to include in the simulation. If you specify a user, group, or role, the simulation includes all policies that are associated with that entity. If you specify a user, the simulation also includes all policies that are attached to any groups the user belongs to.

    The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas.

    For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

  • PolicyInputList (list) --

    An optional list of additional policy documents to include in the simulation. Each document is specified as a string containing the complete, valid JSON text of an IAM policy.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
    • (string) --
  • PermissionsBoundaryPolicyInputList (list) --

    The IAM permissions boundary policy to simulate. The permissions boundary sets the maximum permissions that the entity can have. You can input only one permissions boundary when you pass a policy to this operation. An IAM entity can only have one permissions boundary in effect at a time. For example, if a permissions boundary is attached to an entity and you pass in a different permissions boundary policy using this parameter, then the new permissions boundary policy is used for the simulation. For more information about permissions boundaries, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the IAM User Guide . The policy input is specified as a string containing the complete, valid JSON text of a permissions boundary policy.

    The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
    • (string) --
  • ActionNames (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A list of names of API operations to evaluate in the simulation. Each operation is evaluated for each resource. Each operation must include the service identifier, such as iam:CreateUser .

    • (string) --
  • ResourceArns (list) --

    A list of ARNs of Amazon Web Services resources to include in the simulation. If this parameter is not provided, then the value defaults to * (all resources). Each API in the ActionNames parameter is evaluated for each resource in this list. The simulation determines the access result (allowed or denied) of each combination and reports it in the response. You can simulate resources that don't exist in your account.

    The simulation does not automatically retrieve policies for the specified resources. If you want to include a resource policy in the simulation, then you must include the policy as a string in the ResourcePolicy parameter.

    For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

    Note

    Simulation of resource-based policies isn't supported for IAM roles.

    • (string) --
  • ResourcePolicy (string) --

    A resource-based policy to include in the simulation provided as a string. Each resource in the simulation is treated as if it had this policy attached. You can include only one resource-based policy in a simulation.

    The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )

    Note

    Simulation of resource-based policies isn't supported for IAM roles.

  • ResourceOwner (string) -- An Amazon Web Services account ID that specifies the owner of any simulated resource that does not identify its owner in the resource ARN. Examples of resource ARNs include an S3 bucket or object. If ResourceOwner is specified, it is also used as the account owner of any ResourcePolicy included in the simulation. If the ResourceOwner parameter is not specified, then the owner of the resources and the resource policy defaults to the account of the identity provided in CallerArn . This parameter is required only if you specify a resource-based policy and account that owns the resource is different from the account that owns the simulated calling user CallerArn .
  • CallerArn (string) --

    The ARN of the IAM user that you want to specify as the simulated caller of the API operations. If you do not specify a CallerArn , it defaults to the ARN of the user that you specify in PolicySourceArn , if you specified a user. If you include both a PolicySourceArn (for example, arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/David ) and a CallerArn (for example, arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/Bob ), the result is that you simulate calling the API operations as Bob, as if Bob had David's policies.

    You can specify only the ARN of an IAM user. You cannot specify the ARN of an assumed role, federated user, or a service principal.

    CallerArn is required if you include a ResourcePolicy and the PolicySourceArn is not the ARN for an IAM user. This is required so that the resource-based policy's Principal element has a value to use in evaluating the policy.

    For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

  • ContextEntries (list) --

    A list of context keys and corresponding values for the simulation to use. Whenever a context key is evaluated in one of the simulated IAM permissions policies, the corresponding value is supplied.

    • (dict) --

      Contains information about a condition context key. It includes the name of the key and specifies the value (or values, if the context key supports multiple values) to use in the simulation. This information is used when evaluating the Condition elements of the input policies.

      This data type is used as an input parameter to SimulateCustomPolicy and SimulatePrincipalPolicy.

      • ContextKeyName (string) --

        The full name of a condition context key, including the service prefix. For example, aws:SourceIp or s3:VersionId .

      • ContextKeyValues (list) --

        The value (or values, if the condition context key supports multiple values) to provide to the simulation when the key is referenced by a Condition element in an input policy.

        • (string) --
      • ContextKeyType (string) --

        The data type of the value (or values) specified in the ContextKeyValues parameter.

  • ResourceHandlingOption (string) --

    Specifies the type of simulation to run. Different API operations that support resource-based policies require different combinations of resources. By specifying the type of simulation to run, you enable the policy simulator to enforce the presence of the required resources to ensure reliable simulation results. If your simulation does not match one of the following scenarios, then you can omit this parameter. The following list shows each of the supported scenario values and the resources that you must define to run the simulation.

    Each of the EC2 scenarios requires that you specify instance, image, and security group resources. If your scenario includes an EBS volume, then you must specify that volume as a resource. If the EC2 scenario includes VPC, then you must supply the network interface resource. If it includes an IP subnet, then you must specify the subnet resource. For more information on the EC2 scenario options, see Supported platforms in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

    • EC2-VPC-InstanceStore instance, image, security group, network interface
    • EC2-VPC-InstanceStore-Subnet instance, image, security group, network interface, subnet
    • EC2-VPC-EBS instance, image, security group, network interface, volume
    • EC2-VPC-EBS-Subnet instance, image, security group, network interface, subnet, volume
  • 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.

  • 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.

    Contains the response to a successful SimulatePrincipalPolicy or SimulateCustomPolicy request.

    • EvaluationResults (list) --

      The results of the simulation.

      • (dict) --

        Contains the results of a simulation.

        This data type is used by the return parameter of SimulateCustomPolicy and SimulatePrincipalPolicy .

        • EvalActionName (string) --

          The name of the API operation tested on the indicated resource.

        • EvalResourceName (string) --

          The ARN of the resource that the indicated API operation was tested on.

        • EvalDecision (string) --

          The result of the simulation.

        • MatchedStatements (list) --

          A list of the statements in the input policies that determine the result for this scenario. Remember that even if multiple statements allow the operation on the resource, if only one statement denies that operation, then the explicit deny overrides any allow. In addition, the deny statement is the only entry included in the result.

          • (dict) --

            Contains a reference to a Statement element in a policy document that determines the result of the simulation.

            This data type is used by the MatchedStatements member of the EvaluationResult type.

            • SourcePolicyId (string) --

              The identifier of the policy that was provided as an input.

            • SourcePolicyType (string) --

              The type of the policy.

            • StartPosition (dict) --

              The row and column of the beginning of the Statement in an IAM policy.

              • Line (integer) --

                The line containing the specified position in the document.

              • Column (integer) --

                The column in the line containing the specified position in the document.

            • EndPosition (dict) --

              The row and column of the end of a Statement in an IAM policy.

              • Line (integer) --

              • Column (integer) --

                The column in the line containing the specified position in the document.

        • MissingContextValues (list) --

          A list of context keys that are required by the included input policies but that were not provided by one of the input parameters. This list is used when the resource in a simulation is "*", either explicitly, or when the ResourceArns parameter blank. If you include a list of resources, then any missing context values are instead included under the ResourceSpecificResults section. To discover the context keys used by a set of policies, you can call GetContextKeysForCustomPolicy or GetContextKeysForPrincipalPolicy.

          • (string) --
        • OrganizationsDecisionDetail (dict) --

          A structure that details how Organizations and its service control policies affect the results of the simulation. Only applies if the simulated user's account is part of an organization.

          • AllowedByOrganizations (boolean) --

            Specifies whether the simulated operation is allowed by the Organizations service control policies that impact the simulated user's account.

        • PermissionsBoundaryDecisionDetail (dict) --

          Contains information about the effect that a permissions boundary has on a policy simulation when the boundary is applied to an IAM entity.

          • AllowedByPermissionsBoundary (boolean) --

            Specifies whether an action is allowed by a permissions boundary that is applied to an IAM entity (user or role). A value of true means that the permissions boundary does not deny the action. This means that the policy includes an Allow statement that matches the request. In this case, if an identity-based policy also allows the action, the request is allowed. A value of false means that either the requested action is not allowed (implicitly denied) or that the action is explicitly denied by the permissions boundary. In both of these cases, the action is not allowed, regardless of the identity-based policy.

        • EvalDecisionDetails (dict) --

          Additional details about the results of the cross-account evaluation decision. This parameter is populated for only cross-account simulations. It contains a brief summary of how each policy type contributes to the final evaluation decision.

          If the simulation evaluates policies within the same account and includes a resource ARN, then the parameter is present but the response is empty. If the simulation evaluates policies within the same account and specifies all resources ( * ), then the parameter is not returned.

          When you make a cross-account request, Amazon Web Services evaluates the request in the trusting account and the trusted account. The request is allowed only if both evaluations return true . For more information about how policies are evaluated, see Evaluating policies within a single account.

          If an Organizations SCP included in the evaluation denies access, the simulation ends. In this case, policy evaluation does not proceed any further and this parameter is not returned.

          • (string) --
            • (string) --
        • ResourceSpecificResults (list) --

          The individual results of the simulation of the API operation specified in EvalActionName on each resource.

          • (dict) --

            Contains the result of the simulation of a single API operation call on a single resource.

            This data type is used by a member of the EvaluationResult data type.

            • EvalResourceName (string) --

              The name of the simulated resource, in Amazon Resource Name (ARN) format.

            • EvalResourceDecision (string) --

              The result of the simulation of the simulated API operation on the resource specified in EvalResourceName .

            • MatchedStatements (list) --

              A list of the statements in the input policies that determine the result for this part of the simulation. Remember that even if multiple statements allow the operation on the resource, if any statement denies that operation, then the explicit deny overrides any allow. In addition, the deny statement is the only entry included in the result.

              • (dict) --

                Contains a reference to a Statement element in a policy document that determines the result of the simulation.

                This data type is used by the MatchedStatements member of the EvaluationResult type.

                • SourcePolicyId (string) --

                  The identifier of the policy that was provided as an input.

                • SourcePolicyType (string) --

                  The type of the policy.

                • StartPosition (dict) --

                  The row and column of the beginning of the Statement in an IAM policy.

                  • Line (integer) --

                    The line containing the specified position in the document.

                  • Column (integer) --

                • EndPosition (dict) --

                  The row and column of the end of a Statement in an IAM policy.

                  • Line (integer) --

                    The line containing the specified position in the document.

                  • Column (integer) --

                    The column in the line containing the specified position in the document.

            • MissingContextValues (list) --

              A list of context keys that are required by the included input policies but that were not provided by one of the input parameters. This list is used when a list of ARNs is included in the ResourceArns parameter instead of "*". If you do not specify individual resources, by setting ResourceArns to "*" or by not including the ResourceArns parameter, then any missing context values are instead included under the EvaluationResults section. To discover the context keys used by a set of policies, you can call GetContextKeysForCustomPolicy or GetContextKeysForPrincipalPolicy.

              • (string) --
            • EvalDecisionDetails (dict) --

              Additional details about the results of the evaluation decision on a single resource. This parameter is returned only for cross-account simulations. This parameter explains how each policy type contributes to the resource-specific evaluation decision.

              • (string) --

            • PermissionsBoundaryDecisionDetail (dict) --

              Contains information about the effect that a permissions boundary has on a policy simulation when that boundary is applied to an IAM entity.

              • AllowedByPermissionsBoundary (boolean) --

                Specifies whether an action is allowed by a permissions boundary that is applied to an IAM entity (user or role). A value of true means that the permissions boundary does not deny the action. This means that the policy includes an Allow statement that matches the request. In this case, if an identity-based policy also allows the action, the request is allowed. A value of false means that either the requested action is not allowed (implicitly denied) or that the action is explicitly denied by the permissions boundary. In both of these cases, the action is not allowed, regardless of the identity-based policy.

    • 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.

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.InvalidInputException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.PolicyEvaluationException
tag_instance_profile(**kwargs)

Adds one or more tags to an IAM instance profile. If a tag with the same key name already exists, then that tag is overwritten with the new value.

Each tag consists of a key name and an associated value. By assigning tags to your resources, you can do the following:

  • Administrative grouping and discovery - Attach tags to resources to aid in organization and search. For example, you could search for all resources with the key name Project and the value MyImportantProject . Or search for all resources with the key name Cost Center and the value 41200 .
  • Access control - Include tags in IAM user-based and resource-based policies. You can use tags to restrict access to only an IAM instance profile that has a specified tag attached. For examples of policies that show how to use tags to control access, see Control access using IAM tags in the IAM User Guide .

Note

  • If any one of the tags is invalid or if you exceed the allowed maximum number of tags, then the entire request fails and the resource is not created. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .
  • 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.

    The list of tags that you want to attach to the IAM role. Each tag consists of a key name and an associated value.

    • (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) -- [REQUIRED]

        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) -- [REQUIRED]

        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.

Returns

None

tag_saml_provider(**kwargs)

Adds one or more tags to a Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) identity provider. For more information about these providers, see About SAML 2.0-based federation. If a tag with the same key name already exists, then that tag is overwritten with the new value.

A tag consists of a key name and an associated value. By assigning tags to your resources, you can do the following:

  • Administrative grouping and discovery - Attach tags to resources to aid in organization and search. For example, you could search for all resources with the key name Project and the value MyImportantProject . Or search for all resources with the key name Cost Center and the value 41200 .
  • Access control - Include tags in IAM user-based and resource-based policies. You can use tags to restrict access to only a SAML identity provider that has a specified tag attached. For examples of policies that show how to use tags to control access, see Control access using IAM tags in the IAM User Guide .

Note

  • If any one of the tags is invalid or if you exceed the allowed maximum number of tags, then the entire request fails and the resource is not created. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .
  • 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.

update_access_key(**kwargs)

Changes the status of the specified access key from Active to Inactive, or vice versa. This operation can be used to disable a user's key as part of a key rotation workflow.

If the UserName is not specified, the user name is determined implicitly based on the Amazon Web Services access key ID used to sign the request. If a temporary access key is used, then UserName is required. If a long-term key is assigned to the user, then UserName is not required. This operation works for access keys under the Amazon Web Services account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage Amazon Web Services account root user credentials even if the Amazon Web Services account has no associated users.

For information about rotating keys, see Managing keys and certificates in the IAM User Guide .

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.update_access_key(

    This parameter allows (through its regex pattern ) a string of characters that can consist of any upper or lowercased letter or digit.

  • Status (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The status you want to assign to the secret access key. Active means that the key can be used for programmatic calls to Amazon Web Services, while Inactive means that the key cannot be used.

Returns

None

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.LimitExceededException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException

Examples

The following command deactivates the specified access key (access key ID and secret access key) for the IAM user named Bob.

    HardExpiry=True|False
)
Parameters
  • MinimumPasswordLength (integer) --

    The minimum number of characters allowed in an IAM user password.

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of 6 .

  • RequireSymbols (boolean) --

    Specifies whether IAM user passwords must contain at least one of the following non-alphanumeric characters:

    ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = [ ] { } | '

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that passwords do not require at least one symbol character.

  • RequireNumbers (boolean) --

    Specifies whether IAM user passwords must contain at least one numeric character (0 to 9).

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that passwords do not require at least one numeric character.

  • RequireUppercaseCharacters (boolean) --

    Specifies whether IAM user passwords must contain at least one uppercase character from the ISO basic Latin alphabet (A to Z).

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that passwords do not require at least one uppercase character.

  • RequireLowercaseCharacters (boolean) --

    Specifies whether IAM user passwords must contain at least one lowercase character from the ISO basic Latin alphabet (a to z).

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that passwords do not require at least one lowercase character.

  • AllowUsersToChangePassword (boolean) --

    Allows all IAM users in your account to use the Amazon Web Services Management Console to change their own passwords. For more information, see Permitting IAM users to change their own passwords in the IAM User Guide .

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that IAM users in the account do not automatically have permissions to change their own password.

  • MaxPasswordAge (integer) --

    The number of days that an IAM user password is valid.

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of 0 . The result is that IAM user passwords never expire.

  • PasswordReusePrevention (integer) --

    Specifies the number of previous passwords that IAM users are prevented from reusing.

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of 0 . The result is that IAM users are not prevented from reusing previous passwords.

  • HardExpiry (boolean) --

    Prevents IAM users who are accessing the account via the Amazon Web Services Management Console from setting a new console password after their password has expired. The IAM user cannot access the console until an administrator resets the password.

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that IAM users can change their passwords after they expire and continue to sign in as the user.

    Note

    In the Amazon Web Services Management Console, the custom password policy option Allow users to change their own password gives IAM users permissions to iam:ChangePassword for only their user and to the iam:GetAccountPasswordPolicy action. This option does not attach a permissions policy to each user, rather the permissions are applied at the account-level for all users by IAM. IAM users with iam:ChangePassword permission and active access keys can reset their own expired console password using the CLI or API.

Returns

None

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.MalformedPolicyDocumentException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.LimitExceededException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException

Examples

The following command sets the password policy to require a minimum length of eight characters and to require one or more numbers in the password:

response = client.update_account_password_policy(
    MinimumPasswordLength=8,
    RequireNumbers=True,
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
update_assume_role_policy(**kwargs)

Updates the policy that grants an IAM entity permission to assume a role. This is typically referred to as the "role trust policy". For more information about roles, see Using roles to delegate permissions and federate identities.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.update_assume_role_policy(
    RoleName='string',
    PolicyDocument='string'
)
Parameters
  • RoleName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the role to update with the new policy.

    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: _+=,.@-

  • PolicyDocument (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The policy that grants an entity permission to assume the role.

    You must provide policies in JSON format in IAM. However, for CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. CloudFormation always converts a YAML policy to JSON format before submitting it to IAM.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
Returns

None

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.MalformedPolicyDocumentException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.LimitExceededException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.UnmodifiableEntityException

Examples

The following command updates the role trust policy for the role named Test-Role:

response = client.update_assume_role_policy(
    PolicyDocument='{"Version":"2012-10-17","Statement":[{"Effect":"Allow","Principal":{"Service":["ec2.amazonaws.com"]},"Action":["sts:AssumeRole"]}]}',
    RoleName='S3AccessForEC2Instances',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
update_group(**kwargs)

Updates the name and/or the path of the specified IAM group.

Warning

You should understand the implications of changing a group's path or name. For more information, see Renaming users and groups in the IAM User Guide .

Note

The person making the request (the principal), must have permission to change the role group with the old name and the new name. For example, to change the group named Managers to MGRs , the principal must have a policy that allows them to update both groups. If the principal has permission to update the Managers group, but not the MGRs group, then the update fails. For more information about permissions, see Access management.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.update_group(
    GroupName='string',
    NewPath='string',
    NewGroupName='string'
)
Parameters
  • GroupName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Name of the IAM group to update. If you're changing the name of the group, this is the original name.

  • NewPath (string) --

    New path for the IAM group. Only include this if changing the group's path.

    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.

  • NewGroupName (string) --

    New name for the IAM group. Only include this if changing the group's name.

    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".

Returns

None

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.EntityAlreadyExistsException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.LimitExceededException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException

Examples

The following command changes the name of the IAM group Test to Test-1.

response = client.update_group(
    GroupName='Test',
    NewGroupName='Test-1',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
update_login_profile(**kwargs)

Changes the password for the specified IAM user. You can use the CLI, the Amazon Web Services API, or the Users page in the IAM console to change the password for any IAM user. Use ChangePassword to change your own password in the My Security Credentials page in the Amazon Web Services Management Console.

For more information about modifying passwords, see Managing passwords in the IAM User Guide .

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.update_login_profile(
    UserName='string',
    Password='string',
    PasswordResetRequired=True|False
)
Parameters
  • UserName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the user whose password you want to update.

    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: _+=,.@-

  • Password (string) --

    The new password for the specified IAM user.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )

    However, the format can be further restricted by the account administrator by setting a password policy on the Amazon Web Services account. For more information, see UpdateAccountPasswordPolicy.

  • PasswordResetRequired (boolean) -- Allows this new password to be used only once by requiring the specified IAM user to set a new password on next sign-in.
Returns

None

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.EntityTemporarilyUnmodifiableException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.PasswordPolicyViolationException

    Password='SomeKindOfPassword123!@#',
    UserName='Bob',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
update_open_id_connect_provider_thumbprint(**kwargs)

Replaces the existing list of server certificate thumbprints associated with an OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider resource object with a new list of thumbprints.

The list that you pass with this operation completely replaces the existing list of thumbprints. (The lists are not merged.)

Typically, you need to update a thumbprint only when the identity provider certificate changes, which occurs rarely. However, if the provider's certificate does change, any attempt to assume an IAM role that specifies the OIDC provider as a principal fails until the certificate thumbprint is updated.

Note

Amazon Web Services secures communication with some OIDC identity providers (IdPs) through our library of trusted certificate authorities (CAs) instead of using a certificate thumbprint to verify your IdP server certificate. These OIDC IdPs include Google, Auth0, and those that use an Amazon S3 bucket to host a JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) endpoint. In these cases, your legacy thumbprint remains in your configuration, but is no longer used for validation.

Note

Trust for the OIDC provider is derived from the provider certificate and is validated by the thumbprint. Therefore, it is best to limit access to the UpdateOpenIDConnectProviderThumbprint operation to highly privileged users.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.update_open_id_connect_provider_thumbprint(
    OpenIDConnectProviderArn='string',
    ThumbprintList=[
        'string',
    ]
)
Parameters
  • OpenIDConnectProviderArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM OIDC provider resource object for which you want to update the thumbprint. You can get a list of OIDC provider ARNs by using the ListOpenIDConnectProviders operation.

    For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

  • ThumbprintList (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A list of certificate thumbprints that are associated with the specified IAM OpenID Connect provider. For more information, see CreateOpenIDConnectProvider.

    • (string) --

      Contains a thumbprint for an identity provider's server certificate.

      The identity provider's server certificate thumbprint is the hex-encoded SHA-1 hash value of the self-signed X.509 certificate. This thumbprint is used by the domain where the OpenID Connect provider makes its keys available. The thumbprint is always a 40-character string.

Returns

None

Exceptions

  • IAM.Client.exceptions.InvalidInputException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.NoSuchEntityException
  • IAM.Client.exceptions.ServiceFailureException
update_role(**kwargs)

Updates the description or maximum session duration setting of a role.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.update_role(
    RoleName='string',
    Description='string',
    MaxSessionDuration=123
)
Parameters
  • RoleName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the role that you want to modify.

  • Description (string) -- The new description that you want to apply to the specified role.
  • MaxSessionDuration (integer) --

    The maximum session duration (in seconds) that you want to set for the specified role. If you do not specify a value for this setting, the default value of one hour is applied. This setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours.

    Anyone who assumes the role from the CLI or API can use the DurationSeconds API parameter or the duration-seconds CLI parameter to request a longer session. The MaxSessionDuration setting determines the maximum duration that can be requested using the DurationSeconds parameter. If users don't specify a value for the DurationSeconds parameter, their security credentials are valid for one hour by default. This applies when you use the AssumeRole* API operations or the assume-role* CLI operations but does not apply when you use those operations to create a console URL. For more information, see Using IAM roles in the IAM User Guide .

upload_server_certificate(**kwargs)

Uploads a server certificate entity for the Amazon Web Services account. The server certificate entity includes a public key certificate, a private key, and an optional certificate chain, which should all be PEM-encoded.

We recommend that you use Certificate Manager to provision, manage, and deploy your server certificates. With ACM you can request a certificate, deploy it to Amazon Web Services resources, and let ACM handle certificate renewals for you. Certificates provided by ACM are free. For more information about using ACM, see the Certificate Manager User Guide.

For more information about working with server certificates, see Working with server certificates in the IAM User Guide . This topic includes a list of Amazon Web Services services that can use the server certificates that you manage with IAM.

For information about the number of server certificates you can upload, see IAM and STS quotas in the IAM User Guide .

Note

Because the body of the public key certificate, private key, and the certificate chain can be large, you should use POST rather than GET when calling UploadServerCertificate . For information about setting up signatures and authorization through the API, see Signing Amazon Web Services API requests in the Amazon Web Services General Reference . For general information about using the Query API with IAM, see Calling the API by making HTTP query requests in the IAM User Guide .

Request Syntax

response = client.upload_server_certificate(
    Path='string',
    ServerCertificateName='string',
    CertificateBody='string',
    PrivateKey='string',
    CertificateChain='string',
    Tags=[
        {
            'Key': 'string',
            'Value': 'string'
        },
    ]
)
Parameters
  • Path (string) --

    The path for the server certificate. 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.

    Note

    If you are uploading a server certificate specifically for use with Amazon CloudFront distributions, you must specify a path using the path parameter. The path must begin with /cloudfront and must include a trailing slash (for example, /cloudfront/test/ ).

  • ServerCertificateName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name for the server certificate. Do not include the path in this value. The name of the certificate cannot contain any spaces.

    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: _+=,.@-

  • CertificateBody (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The contents of the public key certificate in PEM-encoded format.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
  • PrivateKey (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The contents of the private key in PEM-encoded format.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
  • CertificateChain (string) --

    The contents of the certificate chain. This is typically a concatenation of the PEM-encoded public key certificates of the chain.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
  • Tags (list) --

    A list of tags that you want to attach to the new IAM server certificate resource. Each tag consists of a key name and an associated value. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .

    Note

    If any one of the tags is invalid or if you exceed the allowed maximum number of tags, then the entire request fails and the resource is not created.

    • (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) -- [REQUIRED]

        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) -- [REQUIRED]

        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.

upload_signing_certificate(**kwargs)

Uploads an X.509 signing certificate and associates it with the specified IAM user. Some Amazon Web Services services require you to use certificates to validate requests that are signed with a corresponding private key. When you upload the certificate, its default status is Active .

For information about when you would use an X.509 signing certificate, see Managing server certificates in IAM in the IAM User Guide .

If the UserName is not specified, the IAM user name is determined implicitly based on the Amazon Web Services access key ID used to sign the request. This operation works for access keys under the Amazon Web Services account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage Amazon Web Services account root user credentials even if the Amazon Web Services account has no associated users.

Note

Because the body of an X.509 certificate can be large, you should use POST rather than GET when calling UploadSigningCertificate . For information about setting up signatures and authorization through the API, see Signing Amazon Web Services API requests in the Amazon Web Services General Reference . For general information about using the Query API with IAM, see Making query requests in the IAM User Guide .

        • IsAttachable (boolean) --

          Specifies whether the policy can be attached to an IAM user, group, or role.

        • Description (string) --

          A friendly description of the policy.

        • CreateDate (datetime) --

          The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the policy was created.

        • UpdateDate (datetime) --

          The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the policy was last updated.

          When a policy has only one version, this field contains the date and time when the policy was created. When a policy has more than one version, this field contains the date and time when the most recent policy version was created.

        • PolicyVersionList (list) --

          A list containing information about the versions of the policy.

          • (dict) --

            Contains information about a version of a managed policy.

            This data type is used as a response element in the CreatePolicyVersion, GetPolicyVersion, ListPolicyVersions, and GetAccountAuthorizationDetails operations.

            For more information about managed policies, refer to Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide .

            • Document (string) --

              The policy document.

              The policy document is returned in the response to the GetPolicyVersion and GetAccountAuthorizationDetails operations. It is not returned in the response to the CreatePolicyVersion or ListPolicyVersions operations.

              The policy document returned in this structure is URL-encoded compliant with RFC 3986. You can use a URL decoding method to convert the policy back to plain JSON text. For example, if you use Java, you can use the decode method of the java.net.URLDecoder utility class in the Java SDK. Other languages and SDKs provide similar functionality.

            • VersionId (string) --

              The identifier for the policy version.

              Policy version identifiers always begin with v (always lowercase). When a policy is created, the first policy version is v1 .

            • IsDefaultVersion (boolean) --

              Specifies whether the policy version is set as the policy's default version.

            • CreateDate (datetime) --

              The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the policy version was created.

    • 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.

    • NextToken (string) --

      A token to resume pagination.

class IAM.Paginator.GetGroup
paginator = client.get_paginator('get_group')
paginate(**kwargs)

Creates an iterator that will paginate through responses from IAM.Client.get_group().

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    Contains the response to a successful GetGroup request.

    • Group (dict) --

      A structure that contains details about the group.

      • Path (string) --

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

      • GroupName (string) --

        The friendly name that identifies the group.

      • GroupId (string) --

        The stable and unique string identifying the group. For more information about IDs, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

      • Arn (string) --

        The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) specifying the group. For more information about ARNs and how to use them in policies, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

      • CreateDate (datetime) --

        The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the group was created.

    • Users (list) --

      A list of users in the group.

      • (dict) --

        Contains information about an IAM user entity.

        This data type is used as a response element in the following operations:

        • CreateUser
        • GetUser
        • ListUsers
        • Path (string) --

          The path to the user. For more information about paths, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

          The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user.

        • UserName (string) --

          The friendly name identifying the user.

        • UserId (string) --

          The stable and unique string identifying the user. For more information about IDs, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

        • Arn (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the user. For more information about ARNs and how to use ARNs in policies, see IAM Identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

        • CreateDate (datetime) --

          The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the user was created.

        • PasswordLastUsed (datetime) --

          The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the user's password was last used to sign in to an Amazon Web Services website. For a list of Amazon Web Services websites that capture a user's last sign-in time, see the Credential reports topic in the IAM User Guide . If a password is used more than once in a five-minute span, only the first use is returned in this field. If the field is null (no value), then it indicates that they never signed in with a password. This can be because:

          • The user never had a password.
          • A password exists but has not been used since IAM started tracking this information on October 20, 2014.

          A null value does not mean that the user never had a password. Also, if the user does not currently have a password but had one in the past, then this field contains the date and time the most recent password was used.

          This value is returned only in the GetUser and ListUsers operations.

        • PermissionsBoundary (dict) --

          For more information about permissions boundaries, see Permissions boundaries for IAM identities in the IAM User Guide .

        • Tags (list) --

          A list of tags that are associated with the user. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .

          • (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.

Parameters
  • PolicyArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM policy for which you want the versions.

    For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

  • EntityFilter (string) --

    The entity type to use for filtering the results.

    For example, when EntityFilter is Role , only the roles that are attached to the specified policy are returned. This parameter is optional. If it is not included, all attached entities (users, groups, and roles) are returned. The argument for this parameter must be one of the valid values listed below.

  • PathPrefix (string) --

    The path prefix for filtering the results. This parameter is optional. If it is not included, it defaults to a slash (/), listing all entities.

    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.

  • PolicyUsageFilter (string) --

    The policy usage method to use for filtering the results.

    To list only permissions policies, set PolicyUsageFilter to PermissionsPolicy . To list only the policies used to set permissions boundaries, set the value to PermissionsBoundary .

    This parameter is optional. If it is not included, all policies are returned.

  • PaginationConfig (dict) --

    A dictionary that provides parameters to control pagination.

    • MaxItems (integer) --

      The total number of items to return. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified in max-items then a NextToken will be provided in the output that you can use to resume pagination.

    • PageSize (integer) --

      The size of each page.

    • StartingToken (string) --

      A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previous response.

          A list of tags that are attached to the instance profile. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .

          • (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.

    • NextToken (string) --

      A token to resume pagination.

class IAM.Paginator.ListInstanceProfilesForRole
paginator = client.get_paginator('list_instance_profiles_for_role')
paginate(**kwargs)

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    Contains the response to a successful ListPolicyVersions request.

    • Versions (list) --

      A list of policy versions.

      For more information about managed policy versions, see Versioning for managed policies in the IAM User Guide .

      • (dict) --

        Contains information about a version of a managed policy.

        This data type is used as a response element in the CreatePolicyVersion, GetPolicyVersion, ListPolicyVersions, and GetAccountAuthorizationDetails operations.

        For more information about managed policies, refer to Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide .

        • Document (string) --

          The policy document.

          The policy document is returned in the response to the GetPolicyVersion and GetAccountAuthorizationDetails operations. It is not returned in the response to the CreatePolicyVersion or ListPolicyVersions operations.

          The policy document returned in this structure is URL-encoded compliant with RFC 3986. You can use a URL decoding method to convert the policy back to plain JSON text. For example, if you use Java, you can use the decode method of the java.net.URLDecoder utility class in the Java SDK. Other languages and SDKs provide similar functionality.

        • VersionId (string) --

          The identifier for the policy version.

          Policy version identifiers always begin with v (always lowercase). When a policy is created, the first policy version is v1 .

        • IsDefaultVersion (boolean) --

          Specifies whether the policy version is set as the policy's default version.

        • CreateDate (datetime) --

          The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the policy version was created.

    • 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.

    • NextToken (string) --

      A token to resume pagination.

class IAM.Paginator.ListRolePolicies
paginator = client.get_paginator('list_role_policies')
paginate(**kwargs)

Creates an iterator that will paginate through responses from IAM.Client.list_role_policies().

}

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.

    • NextToken (string) --

      A token to resume pagination.

class IAM.Paginator.ListUsers
paginator = client.get_paginator('list_users')
paginate(**kwargs)

Creates an iterator that will paginate through responses from IAM.Client.list_users().

Request Syntax

response_iterator = paginator.paginate(
    PathPrefix='string',
    PaginationConfig={
        'MaxItems': 123,
        'PageSize': 123,
        'StartingToken': 'string'
    }
)
Parameters
  • PathPrefix (string) --

    The path prefix for filtering the results. For example: /division_abc/subdivision_xyz/ , which would get all user names whose path starts with /division_abc/subdivision_xyz/ .

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

  • PaginationConfig (dict) --

    A dictionary that provides parameters to control pagination.

    • MaxItems (integer) --

      The total number of items to return. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified in max-items then a NextToken will be provided in the output that you can use to resume pagination.

    • PageSize (integer) --

      The size of each page.

    • StartingToken (string) --

      A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previous response.

      A list of users.

      • (dict) --

        Contains information about an IAM user entity.

        This data type is used as a response element in the following operations:

        • CreateUser
        • GetUser
        • ListUsers
        • Path (string) --

          The path to the user. For more information about paths, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

          The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user.

        • UserName (string) --

          The friendly name identifying the user.

        • UserId (string) --

          The stable and unique string identifying the user. For more information about IDs, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

        • Arn (string) --

          • A password exists but has not been used since IAM started tracking this information on October 20, 2014.

          A null value does not mean that the user never had a password. Also, if the user does not currently have a password but had one in the past, then this field contains the date and time the most recent password was used.

          This value is returned only in the GetUser and ListUsers operations.

Parameters
  • PolicyInputList (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A list of policy documents to include in the simulation. Each document is specified as a string containing the complete, valid JSON text of an IAM policy. Do not include any resource-based policies in this parameter. Any resource-based policy must be submitted with the ResourcePolicy parameter. The policies cannot be "scope-down" policies, such as you could include in a call to GetFederationToken or one of the AssumeRole API operations. In other words, do not use policies designed to restrict what a user can do while using the temporary credentials.

    The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
    • (string) --
  • PermissionsBoundaryPolicyInputList (list) --

    The IAM permissions boundary policy to simulate. The permissions boundary sets the maximum permissions that an IAM entity can have. You can input only one permissions boundary when you pass a policy to this operation. For more information about permissions boundaries, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the IAM User Guide . The policy input is specified as a string that contains the complete, valid JSON text of a permissions boundary policy.

    The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
    • (string) --
  • ActionNames (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A list of names of API operations to evaluate in the simulation. Each operation is evaluated against each resource. Each operation must include the service identifier, such as iam:CreateUser . This operation does not support using wildcards (*) in an action name.

    • (string) --
  • ResourceArns (list) --

    A list of ARNs of Amazon Web Services resources to include in the simulation. If this parameter is not provided, then the value defaults to * (all resources). Each API in the ActionNames parameter is evaluated for each resource in this list. The simulation determines the access result (allowed or denied) of each combination and reports it in the response. You can simulate resources that don't exist in your account.

    The simulation does not automatically retrieve policies for the specified resources. If you want to include a resource policy in the simulation, then you must include the policy as a string in the ResourcePolicy parameter.

    If you include a ResourcePolicy , then it must be applicable to all of the resources included in the simulation or you receive an invalid input error.

    For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

    Note

    Simulation of resource-based policies isn't supported for IAM roles.

    • (string) --
  • ResourcePolicy (string) --

    A resource-based policy to include in the simulation provided as a string. Each resource in the simulation is treated as if it had this policy attached. You can include only one resource-based policy in a simulation.

    The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )

    Note

    Simulation of resource-based policies isn't supported for IAM roles.

  • ResourceOwner (string) --

    An ARN representing the Amazon Web Services account ID that specifies the owner of any simulated resource that does not identify its owner in the resource ARN. Examples of resource ARNs include an S3 bucket or object. If ResourceOwner is specified, it is also used as the account owner of any ResourcePolicy included in the simulation. If the ResourceOwner parameter is not specified, then the owner of the resources and the resource policy defaults to the account of the identity provided in CallerArn . This parameter is required only if you specify a resource-based policy and account that owns the resource is different from the account that owns the simulated calling user CallerArn .

    The ARN for an account uses the following syntax: arn:aws:iam::AWS-account-ID:root . For example, to represent the account with the 112233445566 ID, use the following ARN: arn:aws:iam::112233445566-ID:root .

  • CallerArn (string) --

    The ARN of the IAM user that you want to use as the simulated caller of the API operations. CallerArn is required if you include a ResourcePolicy so that the policy's Principal element has a value to use in evaluating the policy.

    You can specify only the ARN of an IAM user. You cannot specify the ARN of an assumed role, federated user, or a service principal.

  • ContextEntries (list) --

    A list of context keys and corresponding values for the simulation to use. Whenever a context key is evaluated in one of the simulated IAM permissions policies, the corresponding value is supplied.

    • (dict) --

      Contains information about a condition context key. It includes the name of the key and specifies the value (or values, if the context key supports multiple values) to use in the simulation. This information is used when evaluating the Condition elements of the input policies.

      This data type is used as an input parameter to SimulateCustomPolicy and SimulatePrincipalPolicy.

      • ContextKeyName (string) --

        The full name of a condition context key, including the service prefix. For example, aws:SourceIp or s3:VersionId .

      • ContextKeyValues (list) --

        The value (or values, if the condition context key supports multiple values) to provide to the simulation when the key is referenced by a Condition element in an input policy.

        • (string) --
      • ContextKeyType (string) --

        The data type of the value (or values) specified in the ContextKeyValues parameter.

  • ResourceHandlingOption (string) --

    Specifies the type of simulation to run. Different API operations that support resource-based policies require different combinations of resources. By specifying the type of simulation to run, you enable the policy simulator to enforce the presence of the required resources to ensure reliable simulation results. If your simulation does not match one of the following scenarios, then you can omit this parameter. The following list shows each of the supported scenario values and the resources that you must define to run the simulation.

    Each of the EC2 scenarios requires that you specify instance, image, and security group resources. If your scenario includes an EBS volume, then you must specify that volume as a resource. If the EC2 scenario includes VPC, then you must supply the network interface resource. If it includes an IP subnet, then you must specify the subnet resource. For more information on the EC2 scenario options, see Supported platforms in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

    • EC2-VPC-InstanceStore instance, image, security group, network interface
    • EC2-VPC-InstanceStore-Subnet instance, image, security group, network interface, subnet
    • EC2-VPC-EBS instance, image, security group, network interface, volume
    • EC2-VPC-EBS-Subnet instance, image, security group, network interface, subnet, volume
  • PaginationConfig (dict) --

    A dictionary that provides parameters to control pagination.

    • MaxItems (integer) --

      The total number of items to return. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified in max-items then a NextToken will be provided in the output that you can use to resume pagination.

    • PageSize (integer) --

      The size of each page.

    • StartingToken (string) --

      A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previous response.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    Contains the response to a successful SimulatePrincipalPolicy or SimulateCustomPolicy request.

    • EvaluationResults (list) --

      The results of the simulation.

      • (dict) --

        Contains the results of a simulation.

        This data type is used by the return parameter of SimulateCustomPolicy and SimulatePrincipalPolicy .

        • EvalActionName (string) --

          The name of the API operation tested on the indicated resource.

        • EvalResourceName (string) --

          The ARN of the resource that the indicated API operation was tested on.

          The result of the simulation.

        • MatchedStatements (list) --

          A list of the statements in the input policies that determine the result for this scenario. Remember that even if multiple statements allow the operation on the resource, if only one statement denies that operation, then the explicit deny overrides any allow. In addition, the deny statement is the only entry included in the result.

          • (dict) --

            Contains a reference to a Statement element in a policy document that determines the result of the simulation.

            This data type is used by the MatchedStatements member of the EvaluationResult type.

            • SourcePolicyId (string) --

              The identifier of the policy that was provided as an input.

            • SourcePolicyType (string) --

              The type of the policy.

            • StartPosition (dict) --

              The row and column of the beginning of the Statement in an IAM policy.

              • Line (integer) --

                The line containing the specified position in the document.

              • Column (integer) --

                The column in the line containing the specified position in the document.

            • EndPosition (dict) --

                The column in the line containing the specified position in the document.

        • MissingContextValues (list) --

          A list of context keys that are required by the included input policies but that were not provided by one of the input parameters. This list is used when the resource in a simulation is "*", either explicitly, or when the ResourceArns parameter blank. If you include a list of resources, then any missing context values are instead included under the ResourceSpecificResults section. To discover the context keys used by a set of policies, you can call GetContextKeysForCustomPolicy or GetContextKeysForPrincipalPolicy.

          • (string) --
        • OrganizationsDecisionDetail (dict) --

          A structure that details how Organizations and its service control policies affect the results of the simulation. Only applies if the simulated user's account is part of an organization.

          • AllowedByOrganizations (boolean) --

            Specifies whether the simulated operation is allowed by the Organizations service control policies that impact the simulated user's account.

        • PermissionsBoundaryDecisionDetail (dict) --

          Contains information about the effect that a permissions boundary has on a policy simulation when the boundary is applied to an IAM entity.

          • AllowedByPermissionsBoundary (boolean) --

            Specifies whether an action is allowed by a permissions boundary that is applied to an IAM entity (user or role). A value of true means that the permissions boundary does not deny the action. This means that the policy includes an Allow statement that matches the request. In this case, if an identity-based policy also allows the action, the request is allowed. A value of false means that either the requested action is not allowed (implicitly denied) or that the action is explicitly denied by the permissions boundary. In both of these cases, the action is not allowed, regardless of the identity-based policy.

        • EvalDecisionDetails (dict) --

          Additional details about the results of the cross-account evaluation decision. This parameter is populated for only cross-account simulations. It contains a brief summary of how each policy type contributes to the final evaluation decision.

          If the simulation evaluates policies within the same account and includes a resource ARN, then the parameter is present but the response is empty. If the simulation evaluates policies within the same account and specifies all resources ( * ), then the parameter is not returned.

          When you make a cross-account request, Amazon Web Services evaluates the request in the trusting account and the trusted account. The request is allowed only if both evaluations return true . For more information about how policies are evaluated, see Evaluating policies within a single account.

          If an Organizations SCP included in the evaluation denies access, the simulation ends. In this case, policy evaluation does not proceed any further and this parameter is not returned.

            • (string) --
        • ResourceSpecificResults (list) --

          The individual results of the simulation of the API operation specified in EvalActionName on each resource.

          • (dict) --

            Contains the result of the simulation of a single API operation call on a single resource.

              The name of the simulated resource, in Amazon Resource Name (ARN) format.

            • EvalResourceDecision (string) --

              The result of the simulation of the simulated API operation on the resource specified in EvalResourceName .

            • MatchedStatements (list) --

              A list of the statements in the input policies that determine the result for this part of the simulation. Remember that even if multiple statements allow the operation on the resource, if any statement denies that operation, then the explicit deny overrides any allow. In addition, the deny statement is the only entry included in the result.

              • (dict) --

                Contains a reference to a Statement element in a policy document that determines the result of the simulation.

                This data type is used by the MatchedStatements member of the EvaluationResult type.

                • SourcePolicyId (string) --

                  The identifier of the policy that was provided as an input.

                • SourcePolicyType (string) --

                  The type of the policy.

                • StartPosition (dict) --

                  • Line (integer) --

                    The line containing the specified position in the document.

                  • Column (integer) --

                    The column in the line containing the specified position in the document.

            • MissingContextValues (list) --

              A list of context keys that are required by the included input policies but that were not provided by one of the input parameters. This list is used when a list of ARNs is included in the ResourceArns parameter instead of "*". If you do not specify individual resources, by setting ResourceArns to "*" or by not including the ResourceArns parameter, then any missing context values are instead included under the EvaluationResults section. To discover the context keys used by a set of policies, you can call GetContextKeysForCustomPolicy or GetContextKeysForPrincipalPolicy.

              • (string) --
            • EvalDecisionDetails (dict) --

              Additional details about the results of the evaluation decision on a single resource. This parameter is returned only for cross-account simulations. This parameter explains how each policy type contributes to the resource-specific evaluation decision.

              Contains information about the effect that a permissions boundary has on a policy simulation when that boundary is applied to an IAM entity.

              • AllowedByPermissionsBoundary (boolean) --

                Specifies whether an action is allowed by a permissions boundary that is applied to an IAM entity (user or role). A value of true means that the permissions boundary does not deny the action. This means that the policy includes an Allow statement that matches the request. In this case, if an identity-based policy also allows the action, the request is allowed. A value of false means that either the requested action is not allowed (implicitly denied) or that the action is explicitly denied by the permissions boundary. In both of these cases, the action is not allowed, regardless of the identity-based policy.

    • 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.

    • NextToken (string) --

      A token to resume pagination.

Parameters
  • PolicySourceArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a user, group, or role whose policies you want to include in the simulation. If you specify a user, group, or role, the simulation includes all policies that are associated with that entity. If you specify a user, the simulation also includes all policies that are attached to any groups the user belongs to.

    The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas.

    For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

  • PolicyInputList (list) --

    An optional list of additional policy documents to include in the simulation. Each document is specified as a string containing the complete, valid JSON text of an IAM policy.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
    • (string) --
  • PermissionsBoundaryPolicyInputList (list) --

    The IAM permissions boundary policy to simulate. The permissions boundary sets the maximum permissions that the entity can have. You can input only one permissions boundary when you pass a policy to this operation. An IAM entity can only have one permissions boundary in effect at a time. For example, if a permissions boundary is attached to an entity and you pass in a different permissions boundary policy using this parameter, then the new permissions boundary policy is used for the simulation. For more information about permissions boundaries, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the IAM User Guide . The policy input is specified as a string containing the complete, valid JSON text of a permissions boundary policy.

    The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
    • (string) --
  • ActionNames (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A list of names of API operations to evaluate in the simulation. Each operation is evaluated for each resource. Each operation must include the service identifier, such as iam:CreateUser .

    • (string) --
  • ResourceArns (list) --

    A list of ARNs of Amazon Web Services resources to include in the simulation. If this parameter is not provided, then the value defaults to * (all resources). Each API in the ActionNames parameter is evaluated for each resource in this list. The simulation determines the access result (allowed or denied) of each combination and reports it in the response. You can simulate resources that don't exist in your account.

    The simulation does not automatically retrieve policies for the specified resources. If you want to include a resource policy in the simulation, then you must include the policy as a string in the ResourcePolicy parameter.

    For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

    Note

    Simulation of resource-based policies isn't supported for IAM roles.

    • (string) --
  • ResourcePolicy (string) --

    A resource-based policy to include in the simulation provided as a string. Each resource in the simulation is treated as if it had this policy attached. You can include only one resource-based policy in a simulation.

    The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )

    Note

    Simulation of resource-based policies isn't supported for IAM roles.

  • ResourceOwner (string) -- An Amazon Web Services account ID that specifies the owner of any simulated resource that does not identify its owner in the resource ARN. Examples of resource ARNs include an S3 bucket or object. If ResourceOwner is specified, it is also used as the account owner of any ResourcePolicy included in the simulation. If the ResourceOwner parameter is not specified, then the owner of the resources and the resource policy defaults to the account of the identity provided in CallerArn . This parameter is required only if you specify a resource-based policy and account that owns the resource is different from the account that owns the simulated calling user CallerArn .
  • CallerArn (string) --

    The ARN of the IAM user that you want to specify as the simulated caller of the API operations. If you do not specify a CallerArn , it defaults to the ARN of the user that you specify in PolicySourceArn , if you specified a user. If you include both a PolicySourceArn (for example, arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/David ) and a CallerArn (for example, arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/Bob ), the result is that you simulate calling the API operations as Bob, as if Bob had David's policies.

    You can specify only the ARN of an IAM user. You cannot specify the ARN of an assumed role, federated user, or a service principal.

    CallerArn is required if you include a ResourcePolicy and the PolicySourceArn is not the ARN for an IAM user. This is required so that the resource-based policy's Principal element has a value to use in evaluating the policy.

    For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

  • ContextEntries (list) --

    A list of context keys and corresponding values for the simulation to use. Whenever a context key is evaluated in one of the simulated IAM permissions policies, the corresponding value is supplied.

    • (dict) --

      Contains information about a condition context key. It includes the name of the key and specifies the value (or values, if the context key supports multiple values) to use in the simulation. This information is used when evaluating the Condition elements of the input policies.

      This data type is used as an input parameter to SimulateCustomPolicy and SimulatePrincipalPolicy.

      • ContextKeyName (string) --

        The full name of a condition context key, including the service prefix. For example, aws:SourceIp or s3:VersionId .

      • ContextKeyValues (list) --

        The value (or values, if the condition context key supports multiple values) to provide to the simulation when the key is referenced by a Condition element in an input policy.

        • (string) --
      • ContextKeyType (string) --

        The data type of the value (or values) specified in the ContextKeyValues parameter.

  • ResourceHandlingOption (string) --

    Specifies the type of simulation to run. Different API operations that support resource-based policies require different combinations of resources. By specifying the type of simulation to run, you enable the policy simulator to enforce the presence of the required resources to ensure reliable simulation results. If your simulation does not match one of the following scenarios, then you can omit this parameter. The following list shows each of the supported scenario values and the resources that you must define to run the simulation.

    Each of the EC2 scenarios requires that you specify instance, image, and security group resources. If your scenario includes an EBS volume, then you must specify that volume as a resource. If the EC2 scenario includes VPC, then you must supply the network interface resource. If it includes an IP subnet, then you must specify the subnet resource. For more information on the EC2 scenario options, see Supported platforms in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

    • EC2-VPC-InstanceStore instance, image, security group, network interface
    • EC2-VPC-InstanceStore-Subnet instance, image, security group, network interface, subnet
    • EC2-VPC-EBS instance, image, security group, network interface, volume
    • EC2-VPC-EBS-Subnet instance, image, security group, network interface, subnet, volume
  • PaginationConfig (dict) --

    A dictionary that provides parameters to control pagination.

    • MaxItems (integer) --

      The total number of items to return. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified in max-items then a NextToken will be provided in the output that you can use to resume pagination.

    • PageSize (integer) --

      The size of each page.

    • StartingToken (string) --

      A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previous response.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    Contains the response to a successful SimulatePrincipalPolicy or SimulateCustomPolicy request.

    • EvaluationResults (list) --

      The results of the simulation.

      • (dict) --

        Contains the results of a simulation.

        This data type is used by the return parameter of SimulateCustomPolicy and SimulatePrincipalPolicy .

        • EvalActionName (string) --

          The name of the API operation tested on the indicated resource.

        • EvalResourceName (string) --

          The ARN of the resource that the indicated API operation was tested on.

        • EvalDecision (string) --

          The result of the simulation.

        • MatchedStatements (list) --

          A list of the statements in the input policies that determine the result for this scenario. Remember that even if multiple statements allow the operation on the resource, if only one statement denies that operation, then the explicit deny overrides any allow. In addition, the deny statement is the only entry included in the result.

          • (dict) --

            Contains a reference to a Statement element in a policy document that determines the result of the simulation.

            This data type is used by the MatchedStatements member of the EvaluationResult type.

            • SourcePolicyId (string) --

              The identifier of the policy that was provided as an input.

            • SourcePolicyType (string) --

              The type of the policy.

            • StartPosition (dict) --

              The row and column of the beginning of the Statement in an IAM policy.

              • Line (integer) --

                The line containing the specified position in the document.

              • Column (integer) --

                The column in the line containing the specified position in the document.

            • EndPosition (dict) --

              The row and column of the end of a Statement in an IAM policy.

              • Line (integer) --

              • Column (integer) --

                The column in the line containing the specified position in the document.

        • MissingContextValues (list) --

          A list of context keys that are required by the included input policies but that were not provided by one of the input parameters. This list is used when the resource in a simulation is "*", either explicitly, or when the ResourceArns parameter blank. If you include a list of resources, then any missing context values are instead included under the ResourceSpecificResults section. To discover the context keys used by a set of policies, you can call GetContextKeysForCustomPolicy or GetContextKeysForPrincipalPolicy.

          • (string) --
        • OrganizationsDecisionDetail (dict) --

          A structure that details how Organizations and its service control policies affect the results of the simulation. Only applies if the simulated user's account is part of an organization.

          • AllowedByOrganizations (boolean) --

            Specifies whether the simulated operation is allowed by the Organizations service control policies that impact the simulated user's account.

        • PermissionsBoundaryDecisionDetail (dict) --

          Contains information about the effect that a permissions boundary has on a policy simulation when the boundary is applied to an IAM entity.

          • AllowedByPermissionsBoundary (boolean) --

            Specifies whether an action is allowed by a permissions boundary that is applied to an IAM entity (user or role). A value of true means that the permissions boundary does not deny the action. This means that the policy includes an Allow statement that matches the request. In this case, if an identity-based policy also allows the action, the request is allowed. A value of false means that either the requested action is not allowed (implicitly denied) or that the action is explicitly denied by the permissions boundary. In both of these cases, the action is not allowed, regardless of the identity-based policy.

        • EvalDecisionDetails (dict) --

          Additional details about the results of the cross-account evaluation decision. This parameter is populated for only cross-account simulations. It contains a brief summary of how each policy type contributes to the final evaluation decision.

          If the simulation evaluates policies within the same account and includes a resource ARN, then the parameter is present but the response is empty. If the simulation evaluates policies within the same account and specifies all resources ( * ), then the parameter is not returned.

          When you make a cross-account request, Amazon Web Services evaluates the request in the trusting account and the trusted account. The request is allowed only if both evaluations return true . For more information about how policies are evaluated, see Evaluating policies within a single account.

          If an Organizations SCP included in the evaluation denies access, the simulation ends. In this case, policy evaluation does not proceed any further and this parameter is not returned.

          • (string) --
            • (string) --
        • ResourceSpecificResults (list) --

          The individual results of the simulation of the API operation specified in EvalActionName on each resource.

          • (dict) --

            Contains the result of the simulation of a single API operation call on a single resource.

            This data type is used by a member of the EvaluationResult data type.

            • EvalResourceName (string) --

              The name of the simulated resource, in Amazon Resource Name (ARN) format.

            • EvalResourceDecision (string) --

              The result of the simulation of the simulated API operation on the resource specified in EvalResourceName .

            • MatchedStatements (list) --

              A list of the statements in the input policies that determine the result for this part of the simulation. Remember that even if multiple statements allow the operation on the resource, if any statement denies that operation, then the explicit deny overrides any allow. In addition, the deny statement is the only entry included in the result.

              • (dict) --

                Contains a reference to a Statement element in a policy document that determines the result of the simulation.

                This data type is used by the MatchedStatements member of the EvaluationResult type.

                • SourcePolicyId (string) --

                  The identifier of the policy that was provided as an input.

                • SourcePolicyType (string) --

                  The type of the policy.

                • StartPosition (dict) --

                  The row and column of the beginning of the Statement in an IAM policy.

                  • Line (integer) --

                    The line containing the specified position in the document.

                  • Column (integer) --

                • EndPosition (dict) --

                  The row and column of the end of a Statement in an IAM policy.

                  • Line (integer) --

                    The line containing the specified position in the document.

                  • Column (integer) --

                    The column in the line containing the specified position in the document.

            • MissingContextValues (list) --

              A list of context keys that are required by the included input policies but that were not provided by one of the input parameters. This list is used when a list of ARNs is included in the ResourceArns parameter instead of "*". If you do not specify individual resources, by setting ResourceArns to "*" or by not including the ResourceArns parameter, then any missing context values are instead included under the EvaluationResults section. To discover the context keys used by a set of policies, you can call GetContextKeysForCustomPolicy or GetContextKeysForPrincipalPolicy.

              • (string) --
            • EvalDecisionDetails (dict) --

              Additional details about the results of the evaluation decision on a single resource. This parameter is returned only for cross-account simulations. This parameter explains how each policy type contributes to the resource-specific evaluation decision.

                • (string) --
            • PermissionsBoundaryDecisionDetail (dict) --

              Contains information about the effect that a permissions boundary has on a policy simulation when that boundary is applied to an IAM entity.

              • AllowedByPermissionsBoundary (boolean) --

                Specifies whether an action is allowed by a permissions boundary that is applied to an IAM entity (user or role). A value of true means that the permissions boundary does not deny the action. This means that the policy includes an Allow statement that matches the request. In this case, if an identity-based policy also allows the action, the request is allowed. A value of false means that either the requested action is not allowed (implicitly denied) or that the action is explicitly denied by the permissions boundary. In both of these cases, the action is not allowed, regardless of the identity-based policy.

    • 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.

    • NextToken (string) --

      A token to resume pagination.

Service Resource

class IAM.ServiceResource

A resource representing AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM):

import boto3

iam = boto3.resource('iam')

These are the resource's available actions:

These are the resource's available sub-resources:

These are the resource's available collections:

Actions

Actions call operations on resources. They may automatically handle the passing in of arguments set from identifiers and some attributes. For more information about actions refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.

change_password(**kwargs)

Changes the password of the IAM user who is calling this operation. This operation can be performed using the CLI, the Amazon Web Services API, or the My Security Credentials page in the Amazon Web Services Management Console. The Amazon Web Services account root user password is not affected by this operation.

Use UpdateLoginProfile to use the CLI, the Amazon Web Services API, or the Users page in the IAM console to change the password for any IAM user. For more information about modifying passwords, see Managing passwords in the IAM User Guide .

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = iam.change_password(
    OldPassword='string',
    NewPassword='string'
)
Parameters
  • OldPassword (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The IAM user's current password.

  • NewPassword (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The new password. The new password must conform to the Amazon Web Services account's password policy, if one exists.

    The regex pattern that is used to validate this parameter is a string of characters. That string can include almost any printable ASCII character from the space ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range ( \u00FF ). You can also include the tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D ) characters. Any of these characters are valid in a password. However, many tools, such as the Amazon Web Services Management Console, might restrict the ability to type certain characters because they have special meaning within that tool.

Returns

None

create_account_alias(**kwargs)

Creates an alias for your Amazon Web Services account. For information about using an Amazon Web Services account alias, see Using an alias for your Amazon Web Services account ID in the IAM User Guide .

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = iam.create_account_alias(
    AccountAlias='string'
)
Parameters
AccountAlias (string) --

[REQUIRED]

The account alias to create.

This parameter allows (through its regex pattern ) a string of characters consisting of lowercase letters, digits, and dashes. You cannot start or finish with a dash, nor can you have two dashes in a row.

Returns
None
create_account_password_policy(**kwargs)

Updates the password policy settings for the Amazon Web Services account.

Note

This operation does not support partial updates. No parameters are required, but if you do not specify a parameter, that parameter's value reverts to its default value. See the Request Parameters section for each parameter's default value. Also note that some parameters do not allow the default parameter to be explicitly set. Instead, to invoke the default value, do not include that parameter when you invoke the operation.

For more information about using a password policy, see Managing an IAM password policy in the IAM User Guide .

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

account_password_policy = iam.create_account_password_policy(
    MinimumPasswordLength=123,
    RequireSymbols=True|False,
    RequireNumbers=True|False,
    RequireUppercaseCharacters=True|False,
    RequireLowercaseCharacters=True|False,
    AllowUsersToChangePassword=True|False,
    MaxPasswordAge=123,
    PasswordReusePrevention=123,
    HardExpiry=True|False
)
Parameters
  • MinimumPasswordLength (integer) --

    The minimum number of characters allowed in an IAM user password.

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of 6 .

  • RequireSymbols (boolean) --

    Specifies whether IAM user passwords must contain at least one of the following non-alphanumeric characters:

    ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = [ ] { } | '

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that passwords do not require at least one symbol character.

  • RequireNumbers (boolean) --

    Specifies whether IAM user passwords must contain at least one numeric character (0 to 9).

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that passwords do not require at least one numeric character.

  • RequireUppercaseCharacters (boolean) --

    Specifies whether IAM user passwords must contain at least one uppercase character from the ISO basic Latin alphabet (A to Z).

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that passwords do not require at least one uppercase character.

  • RequireLowercaseCharacters (boolean) --

    Specifies whether IAM user passwords must contain at least one lowercase character from the ISO basic Latin alphabet (a to z).

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that passwords do not require at least one lowercase character.

  • AllowUsersToChangePassword (boolean) --

    Allows all IAM users in your account to use the Amazon Web Services Management Console to change their own passwords. For more information, see Permitting IAM users to change their own passwords in the IAM User Guide .

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that IAM users in the account do not automatically have permissions to change their own password.

  • MaxPasswordAge (integer) --

    The number of days that an IAM user password is valid.

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of 0 . The result is that IAM user passwords never expire.

  • PasswordReusePrevention (integer) --

    Specifies the number of previous passwords that IAM users are prevented from reusing.

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of 0 . The result is that IAM users are not prevented from reusing previous passwords.

  • HardExpiry (boolean) --

    Prevents IAM users who are accessing the account via the Amazon Web Services Management Console from setting a new console password after their password has expired. The IAM user cannot access the console until an administrator resets the password.

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that IAM users can change their passwords after they expire and continue to sign in as the user.

    Note

    In the Amazon Web Services Management Console, the custom password policy option Allow users to change their own password gives IAM users permissions to iam:ChangePassword for only their user and to the iam:GetAccountPasswordPolicy action. This option does not attach a permissions policy to each user, rather the permissions are applied at the account-level for all users by IAM. IAM users with iam:ChangePassword permission and active access keys can reset their own expired console password using the CLI or API.

Return type

iam.AccountPasswordPolicy

Returns

AccountPasswordPolicy resource

create_group(**kwargs)

Creates a new group.

For information about the number of groups you can create, see IAM and STS quotas in the IAM User Guide .

    GroupName='string'
)
Parameters
  • Path (string) --

    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.

  • GroupName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    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".

Return type

iam.Group

Returns

Group resource

Request Syntax

instance_profile = iam.create_instance_profile(
    InstanceProfileName='string',
    Path='string',
    Tags=[
        {
            'Key': 'string',
            'Value': 'string'
        },
    ]
)
Parameters
  • InstanceProfileName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the instance profile to create.

    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: _+=,.@-

  • Path (string) --

    The path to the instance profile. 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.

  • Tags (list) --

    A list of tags that you want to attach to the newly created IAM instance profile. Each tag consists of a key name and an associated value. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .

    Note

    If any one of the tags is invalid or if you exceed the allowed maximum number of tags, then the entire request fails and the resource is not created.

    • (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) -- [REQUIRED]

        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) -- [REQUIRED]

        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.

Return type

iam.InstanceProfile

Returns

InstanceProfile resource

create_policy(**kwargs)

Creates a new managed policy for your Amazon Web Services account.

This operation creates a policy version with a version identifier of v1 and sets v1 as the policy's default version. For more information about policy versions, see Versioning for managed policies in the IAM User Guide .

As a best practice, you can validate your IAM policies. To learn more, see Validating IAM policies in the IAM User Guide .

For more information about managed policies in general, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide .

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the role to create.

    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".

  • AssumeRolePolicyDocument (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The trust relationship policy document that grants an entity permission to assume the role.

    In IAM, you must provide a JSON policy that has been converted to a string. However, for CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. CloudFormation always converts a YAML policy to JSON format before submitting it to IAM.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )

    Upon success, the response includes the same trust policy in JSON format.

  • Description (string) -- A description of the role.
  • MaxSessionDuration (integer) --

    The maximum session duration (in seconds) that you want to set for the specified role. If you do not specify a value for this setting, the default value of one hour is applied. This setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours.

    Anyone who assumes the role from the CLI or API can use the DurationSeconds API parameter or the duration-seconds CLI parameter to request a longer session. The MaxSessionDuration setting determines the maximum duration that can be requested using the DurationSeconds parameter. If users don't specify a value for the DurationSeconds parameter, their security credentials are valid for one hour by default. This applies when you use the AssumeRole* API operations or the assume-role* CLI operations but does not apply when you use those operations to create a console URL. For more information, see Using IAM roles in the IAM User Guide .

  • PermissionsBoundary (string) --

    The ARN of the managed policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the role.

    A permissions boundary policy defines the maximum permissions that identity-based policies can grant to an entity, but does not grant permissions. Permissions boundaries do not define the maximum permissions that a resource-based policy can grant to an entity. To learn more, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the IAM User Guide .

    For more information about policy types, see Policy types in the IAM User Guide .

  • Tags (list) --

    A list of tags that you want to attach to the new role. Each tag consists of a key name and an associated value. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .

    Note

    If any one of the tags is invalid or if you exceed the allowed maximum number of tags, then the entire request fails and the resource is not created.

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.

Return type

iam.Role

Returns

Role resource

create_saml_provider(**kwargs)

Creates an IAM resource that describes an identity provider (IdP) that supports SAML 2.0.

The SAML provider resource that you create with this operation can be used as a principal in an IAM role's trust policy. Such a policy can enable federated users who sign in using the SAML IdP to assume the role. You can create an IAM role that supports Web-based single sign-on (SSO) to the Amazon Web Services Management Console or one that supports API access to Amazon Web Services.

When you create the SAML provider resource, you upload a SAML metadata document that you get from your IdP. That document includes the issuer's name, expiration information, and keys that can be used to validate the SAML authentication response (assertions) that the IdP sends. You must generate the metadata document using the identity management software that is used as your organization's IdP.

Note

This operation requires Signature Version 4.

For more information, see Enabling SAML 2.0 federated users to access the Amazon Web Services Management Console and About SAML 2.0-based federation in the IAM User Guide .

create_server_certificate(**kwargs)

Uploads a server certificate entity for the Amazon Web Services account. The server certificate entity includes a public key certificate, a private key, and an optional certificate chain, which should all be PEM-encoded.

We recommend that you use Certificate Manager to provision, manage, and deploy your server certificates. With ACM you can request a certificate, deploy it to Amazon Web Services resources, and let ACM handle certificate renewals for you. Certificates provided by ACM are free. For more information about using ACM, see the Certificate Manager User Guide.

For more information about working with server certificates, see Working with server certificates in the IAM User Guide . This topic includes a list of Amazon Web Services services that can use the server certificates that you manage with IAM.

For information about the number of server certificates you can upload, see IAM and STS quotas in the IAM User Guide .

Note

Because the body of the public key certificate, private key, and the certificate chain can be large, you should use POST rather than GET when calling UploadServerCertificate . For information about setting up signatures and authorization through the API, see Signing Amazon Web Services API requests in the Amazon Web Services General Reference . For general information about using the Query API with IAM, see Calling the API by making HTTP query requests in the IAM User Guide .

create_signing_certificate(**kwargs)

Uploads an X.509 signing certificate and associates it with the specified IAM user. Some Amazon Web Services services require you to use certificates to validate requests that are signed with a corresponding private key. When you upload the certificate, its default status is Active .

For information about when you would use an X.509 signing certificate, see Managing server certificates in IAM in the IAM User Guide .

If the UserName is not specified, the IAM user name is determined implicitly based on the Amazon Web Services access key ID used to sign the request. This operation works for access keys under the Amazon Web Services account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage Amazon Web Services account root user credentials even if the Amazon Web Services account has no associated users.

Note

Because the body of an X.509 certificate can be large, you should use POST rather than GET when calling UploadSigningCertificate .

      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) -- [REQUIRED]

        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) -- [REQUIRED]

        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.

Collections

Collections provide an interface to iterate over and manipulate groups of resources. For more information about collections refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.

groups

A collection of Group resources.A Group Collection will include all resources by default, and extreme caution should be taken when performing actions on all resources.

all()

Creates an iterable of all Group resources in the collection.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

group_iterator = iam.groups.all()
Return type
list(iam.Group)
Returns
A list of Group resources
filter(**kwargs)

Creates an iterable of all Group resources in the collection filtered by kwargs passed to method. A Group collection will include all resources by default if no filters are provided, and extreme caution should be taken when performing actions on all resources.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

group_iterator = iam.groups.filter(
    PathPrefix='string',
    Marker='string',
    MaxItems=123
)
Parameters
  • PathPrefix (string) --

    The path prefix for filtering the results. For example, the prefix /division_abc/subdivision_xyz/ gets all groups whose path starts with /division_abc/subdivision_xyz/ .

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

Identifiers

Identifiers are properties of a resource that are set upon instantiation of the resource. For more information about identifiers refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.

user_name

(string) The AccessKey's user_name identifier. This must be set.

id

(string) The AccessKey's id identifier. This must be set.

Attributes

Attributes provide access to the properties of a resource. Attributes are lazy-loaded the first time one is accessed via the load() method. For more information about attributes refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.

access_key_id
  • (string) --

    The ID for this access key.

create_date
  • (datetime) --

    The date when the access key was created.

status
  • (string) --

    The status of the access key. Active means that the key is valid for API calls; Inactive means it is not.

Actions

Actions call operations on resources. They may automatically handle the passing in of arguments set from identifiers and some attributes. For more information about actions refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.

activate()

Changes the status of the specified access key from Active to Inactive, or vice versa. This operation can be used to disable a user's key as part of a key rotation workflow.

If the UserName is not specified, the user name is determined implicitly based on the Amazon Web Services access key ID used to sign the request. If a temporary access key is used, then UserName is required. If a long-term key is assigned to the user, then UserName is not required. This operation works for access keys under the Amazon Web Services account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage Amazon Web Services account root user credentials even if the Amazon Web Services account has no associated users.

For information about rotating keys, see Managing keys and certificates in the IAM User Guide .

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = account_password_policy.update(
    MinimumPasswordLength=123,
    RequireSymbols=True|False,
    RequireNumbers=True|False,
    RequireUppercaseCharacters=True|False,
    RequireLowercaseCharacters=True|False,
    AllowUsersToChangePassword=True|False,
    MaxPasswordAge=123,
    PasswordReusePrevention=123,
    HardExpiry=True|False
)
Parameters
  • MinimumPasswordLength (integer) --

    The minimum number of characters allowed in an IAM user password.

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of 6 .

  • RequireSymbols (boolean) --

    Specifies whether IAM user passwords must contain at least one of the following non-alphanumeric characters:

    ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = [ ] { } | '

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that passwords do not require at least one symbol character.

  • RequireNumbers (boolean) --

    Specifies whether IAM user passwords must contain at least one numeric character (0 to 9).

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that passwords do not require at least one numeric character.

  • RequireUppercaseCharacters (boolean) --

    Specifies whether IAM user passwords must contain at least one uppercase character from the ISO basic Latin alphabet (A to Z).

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that passwords do not require at least one uppercase character.

  • RequireLowercaseCharacters (boolean) --

    Specifies whether IAM user passwords must contain at least one lowercase character from the ISO basic Latin alphabet (a to z).

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that passwords do not require at least one lowercase character.

  • AllowUsersToChangePassword (boolean) --

    Allows all IAM users in your account to use the Amazon Web Services Management Console to change their own passwords. For more information, see Permitting IAM users to change their own passwords in the IAM User Guide .

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that IAM users in the account do not automatically have permissions to change their own password.

  • MaxPasswordAge (integer) --

    The number of days that an IAM user password is valid.

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of 0 . The result is that IAM user passwords never expire.

  • PasswordReusePrevention (integer) --

    Specifies the number of previous passwords that IAM users are prevented from reusing.

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of 0 . The result is that IAM users are not prevented from reusing previous passwords.

  • HardExpiry (boolean) --

    Prevents IAM users who are accessing the account via the Amazon Web Services Management Console from setting a new console password after their password has expired. The IAM user cannot access the console until an administrator resets the password.

    If you do not specify a value for this parameter, then the operation uses the default value of false . The result is that IAM users can change their passwords after they expire and continue to sign in as the user.

    Note

    In the Amazon Web Services Management Console, the custom password policy option Allow users to change their own password gives IAM users permissions to iam:ChangePassword for only their user and to the iam:GetAccountPasswordPolicy action. This option does not attach a permissions policy to each user, rather the permissions are applied at the account-level for all users by IAM. IAM users with iam:ChangePassword permission and active access keys can reset their own expired console password using the CLI or API.

Returns

None

Attributes

Attributes provide access to the properties of a resource. Attributes are lazy-loaded the first time one is accessed via the load() method. For more information about attributes refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.

arn
  • (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the user. For more information about ARNs and how to use ARNs in policies, see IAM Identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

create_date
password_last_used
  • (datetime) --

    The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the user's password was last used to sign in to an Amazon Web Services website. For a list of Amazon Web Services websites that capture a user's last sign-in time, see the Credential reports topic in the IAM User Guide . If a password is used more than once in a five-minute span, only the first use is returned in this field. If the field is null (no value), then it indicates that they never signed in with a password. This can be because:

    • The user never had a password.
    • A password exists but has not been used since IAM started tracking this information on October 20, 2014.

    A null value does not mean that the user never had a password. Also, if the user does not currently have a password but had one in the past, then this field contains the date and time the most recent password was used.

    This value is returned only in the GetUser and ListUsers operations.

path
  • (string) --

    The path to the user. For more information about paths, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

    The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user.

    • PermissionsBoundaryArn (string) --

      The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user or role.

tags
  • (list) --

    A list of tags that are associated with the user. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .

    • (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 .

        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.

user_id
  • (string) --

    The stable and unique string identifying the user. For more information about IDs, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

Return type
list(iam.SigningCertificate)
Returns
A list of SigningCertificate resources
filter(**kwargs)

Creates an iterable of all SigningCertificate resources in the collection filtered by kwargs passed to method. A SigningCertificate collection will include all resources by default if no filters are provided, and extreme caution should be taken when performing actions on all resources.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

signing_certificate_iterator = current_user.signing_certificates.filter(
    UserName='string',
    Marker='string',
    MaxItems=123
)
Parameters
  • UserName (string) --

    The name of the IAM user whose signing certificates you want to examine.

    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.

      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.

References

References are related resource instances that have a belongs-to relationship. For more information about references refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.

roles

(Role) The related roles if set, otherwise None.

Actions

Actions call operations on resources. They may automatically handle the passing in of arguments set from identifiers and some attributes. For more information about actions refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.

add_role(**kwargs)

Adds the specified IAM role to the specified instance profile. An instance profile can contain only one role, and this quota cannot be increased. You can remove the existing role and then add a different role to an instance profile. You must then wait for the change to appear across all of Amazon Web Services because of eventual consistency. To force the change, you must disassociate the instance profile and then associate the instance profile, or you can stop your instance and then restart it.

Note

The caller of this operation must be granted the PassRole permission on the IAM role by a permissions policy.

For more information about roles, see Working with roles. For more information about instance profiles, see About instance profiles.

    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
  • SetAsDefault (boolean) --

    Specifies whether to set this version as the policy's default version.

    When this parameter is true , the new policy version becomes the operative version. That is, it becomes the version that is in effect for the IAM users, groups, and roles that the policy is attached to.

    For more information about managed policy versions, see Versioning for managed policies in the IAM User Guide .

Return type

iam.PolicyVersion

Returns

PolicyVersion resource

delete()

Deletes the specified managed policy.

Before you can delete a managed policy, you must first detach the policy from all users, groups, and roles that it is attached to. In addition, you must delete all the policy's versions. The following steps describe the process for deleting a managed policy:

  • Detach the policy from all users, groups, and roles that the policy is attached to, using DetachUserPolicy, DetachGroupPolicy, or DetachRolePolicy. To list all the users, groups, and roles that a policy is attached to, use ListEntitiesForPolicy.
  • Delete all versions of the policy using DeletePolicyVersion. To list the policy's versions, use ListPolicyVersions. You cannot use DeletePolicyVersion to delete the version that is marked as the default version. You delete the policy's default version in the next step of the process.
  • Delete the policy (this automatically deletes the policy's default version) using this operation.

Request Syntax

role_iterator = policy.attached_roles.filter(
    PathPrefix='string',
    PolicyUsageFilter='PermissionsPolicy'|'PermissionsBoundary',
    Marker='string',
    MaxItems=123
)
Parameters
  • PathPrefix (string) --

    The path prefix for filtering the results. This parameter is optional. If it is not included, it defaults to a slash (/), listing all entities.

    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.

  • PolicyUsageFilter (string) --

    The policy usage method to use for filtering the results.

    To list only permissions policies, set PolicyUsageFilter to PermissionsPolicy . To list only the policies used to set permissions boundaries, set the value to PermissionsBoundary .

    This parameter is optional. If it is not included, all policies are returned.

  • 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.

Activity is only reported for the trailing 400 days. This period can be shorter if your Region began supporting these features within the last year. The role might have been used more than 400 days ago. For more information, see Regions where data is tracked in the IAM User Guide .

    • LastUsedDate (datetime) --

      The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format that the role was last used.

      This field is null if the role has not been used within the IAM tracking period. For more information about the tracking period, see Regions where data is tracked in the IAM User Guide .

    • Region (string) --

      The name of the Amazon Web Services Region in which the role was last used.

role_name
  • (string) --

    The friendly name that identifies the role.

tags
  • (list) --

    A list of tags that are attached to the role. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .

    • (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.

Actions

Actions call operations on resources. They may automatically handle the passing in of arguments set from identifiers and some attributes. For more information about actions refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.

attach_policy(**kwargs)

Attaches the specified managed policy to the specified IAM role. When you attach a managed policy to a role, the managed policy becomes part of the role's permission (access) policy.

Note

You cannot use a managed policy as the role's trust policy. The role's trust policy is created at the same time as the role, using CreateRole. You can update a role's trust policy using UpdateAssumeRolePolicy.

Use this operation to attach a managed policy to a role. To embed an inline policy in a role, use PutRolePolicy. For more information about policies, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide .

As a best practice, you can validate your IAM policies. To learn more, see Validating IAM policies in the IAM User Guide .

delete()

Deletes the specified role. Unlike the Amazon Web Services Management Console, when you delete a role programmatically, you must delete the items attached to the role manually, or the deletion fails. For more information, see Deleting an IAM role. Before attempting to delete a role, remove the following attached items:

  • Inline policies ( DeleteRolePolicy )
  • Attached managed policies ( DetachRolePolicy )
  • Instance profile ( RemoveRoleFromInstanceProfile )
  • Optional – Delete instance profile after detaching from role for resource clean up ( DeleteInstanceProfile )

load()

Calls IAM.Client.get_role_policy() to update the attributes of the RolePolicy resource. Note that the load and reload methods are the same method and can be used interchangeably.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

role_policy.load()
Returns
None
put(**kwargs)

Adds or updates an inline policy document that is embedded in the specified IAM role.

When you embed an inline policy in a role, the inline policy is used as part of the role's access (permissions) policy. The role's trust policy is created at the same time as the role, using CreateRole. You can update a role's trust policy using UpdateAssumeRolePolicy. For more information about IAM roles, see Using roles to delegate permissions and federate identities.

A role can also have a managed policy attached to it. To attach a managed policy to a role, use AttachRolePolicy. To create a new managed policy, use CreatePolicy. For information about policies, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide .

For information about the maximum number of inline policies that you can embed with a role, see IAM and STS quotas in the IAM User Guide .

Note

Because policy documents can be large, you should use POST rather than GET when calling PutRolePolicy . For general information about using the Query API with IAM, see Making query requests in the IAM User Guide .

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = role_policy.put(
    PolicyDocument='string'
)
Parameters
PolicyDocument (string) --

[REQUIRED]

Return type

iam.User

Returns

User resource

create_access_key_pair()

Creates a new Amazon Web Services secret access key and corresponding Amazon Web Services access key ID for the specified user. The default status for new keys is Active .

If you do not specify a user name, IAM determines the user name implicitly based on the Amazon Web Services access key ID signing the request. This operation works for access keys under the Amazon Web Services account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage Amazon Web Services account root user credentials. This is true even if the Amazon Web Services account has no associated users.

For information about quotas on the number of keys you can create, see IAM and STS quotas in the IAM User Guide .

Warning

To ensure the security of your Amazon Web Services account, the secret access key is accessible only during key and user creation. You must save the key (for example, in a text file) if you want to be able to access it again. If a secret key is lost, you can delete the access keys for the associated user and then create new keys.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

access_key_pair = user.create_access_key_pair()
Return type
iam.AccessKeyPair
Returns
AccessKeyPair resource
create_login_profile(**kwargs)

Creates a password for the specified IAM user. A password allows an IAM user to access Amazon Web Services services through the Amazon Web Services Management Console.

You can use the CLI, the Amazon Web Services API, or the Users page in the IAM console to create a password for any IAM user. Use ChangePassword to update your own existing password in the My Security Credentials page in the Amazon Web Services Management Console.

For more information about managing passwords, see Managing passwords in the IAM User Guide .

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

login_profile = user.create_login_profile(
    Password='string',
    PasswordResetRequired=True|False
)
Parameters
  • Password (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The new password for the user.

    The regex pattern that is used to validate this parameter is a string of characters. That string can include almost any printable ASCII character from the space ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range ( \u00FF ). You can also include the tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D ) characters. Any of these characters are valid in a password. However, many tools, such as the Amazon Web Services Management Console, might restrict the ability to type certain characters because they have special meaning within that tool.

  • PasswordResetRequired (boolean) -- Specifies whether the user is required to set a new password on next sign-in.
Return type

iam.LoginProfile

Returns

LoginProfile resource

create_policy(**kwargs)

Adds or updates an inline policy document that is embedded in the specified IAM user.

An IAM user can also have a managed policy attached to it. To attach a managed policy to a user, use AttachUserPolicy. To create a new managed policy, use CreatePolicy. For information about policies, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide .

For information about the maximum number of inline policies that you can embed in a user, see IAM and STS quotas in the IAM User Guide .

Note

Because policy documents can be large, you should use POST rather than GET when calling PutUserPolicy . For general information about using the Query API with IAM, see Making query requests in the IAM User Guide .

    You must provide policies in JSON format in IAM. However, for CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. CloudFormation always converts a YAML policy to JSON format before submitting it to IAM.

    The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

    • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
    • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
    • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
Return type

iam.UserPolicy

Returns

UserPolicy resource

delete()

Deletes the specified IAM user. Unlike the Amazon Web Services Management Console, when you delete a user programmatically, you must delete the items attached to the user manually, or the deletion fails. For more information, see Deleting an IAM user. Before attempting to delete a user, remove the following items:

  • Password ( DeleteLoginProfile )
  • Access keys ( DeleteAccessKey )
  • Signing certificate ( DeleteSigningCertificate )
  • SSH public key ( DeleteSSHPublicKey )
  • Git credentials ( DeleteServiceSpecificCredential )
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) device ( DeactivateMFADevice, DeleteVirtualMFADevice )
  • Inline policies ( DeleteUserPolicy )
  • Attached managed policies ( DetachUserPolicy )
  • Group memberships ( RemoveUserFromGroup )

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = user.delete()
Returns
None
detach_policy(**kwargs)

Removes the specified managed policy from the specified user.

A user can also have inline policies embedded with it. To delete an inline policy, use DeleteUserPolicy. For information about policies, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide .

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = user.detach_policy(
    PolicyArn='string'
)
Parameters
PolicyArn (string) --

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM policy you want to detach.

For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

Returns
None
enable_mfa(**kwargs)

Enables the specified MFA device and associates it with the specified IAM user. When enabled, the MFA device is required for every subsequent login by the IAM user associated with the device.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

mfa_device = user.enable_mfa(
    SerialNumber='string',
    AuthenticationCode1='string',
    AuthenticationCode2='string'
)
Parameters
  • SerialNumber (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The serial number that uniquely identifies the MFA device. For virtual MFA devices, the serial number is the device ARN.

    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: =,.@:/-

  • AuthenticationCode1 (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    An authentication code emitted by the device.

    The format for this parameter is a string of six digits.

    Warning

    Submit your request immediately after generating the authentication codes. If you generate the codes and then wait too long to submit the request, the MFA device successfully associates with the user but the MFA device becomes out of sync. This happens because time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) expire after a short period of time. If this happens, you can resync the device.

  • AuthenticationCode2 (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A subsequent authentication code emitted by the device.

    The format for this parameter is a string of six digits.

    Warning

    Submit your request immediately after generating the authentication codes. If you generate the codes and then wait too long to submit the request, the MFA device successfully associates with the user but the MFA device becomes out of sync. This happens because time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) expire after a short period of time. If this happens, you can resync the device.

Warning

You should understand the implications of changing an IAM user's path or name. For more information, see Renaming an IAM user and Renaming an IAM group in the IAM User Guide .

Note

To change a user name, the requester must have appropriate permissions on both the source object and the target object. For example, to change Bob to Robert, the entity making the request must have permission on Bob and Robert, or must have permission on all (*). For more information about permissions, see Permissions and policies.

        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.

user_attribute
  • (dict) --

    The IAM user associated with this virtual MFA device.

    • Path (string) --

      The path to the user. For more information about paths, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

      The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user.

    • UserName (string) --

      The friendly name identifying the user.

    • UserId (string) --

      The stable and unique string identifying the user. For more information about IDs, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

    • Arn (string) --

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the user. For more information about ARNs and how to use ARNs in policies, see IAM Identifiers in the IAM User Guide .

    • CreateDate (datetime) --

      The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the user was created.

    • PasswordLastUsed (datetime) --

      The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format, when the user's password was last used to sign in to an Amazon Web Services website. For a list of Amazon Web Services websites that capture a user's last sign-in time, see the Credential reports topic in the IAM User Guide . If a password is used more than once in a five-minute span, only the first use is returned in this field. If the field is null (no value), then it indicates that they never signed in with a password. This can be because:

      • The user never had a password.
      • A password exists but has not been used since IAM started tracking this information on October 20, 2014.

      A null value does not mean that the user never had a password. Also, if the user does not currently have a password but had one in the past, then this field contains the date and time the most recent password was used.

      This value is returned only in the GetUser and ListUsers operations.

    • PermissionsBoundary (dict) --

      For more information about permissions boundaries, see Permissions boundaries for IAM identities in the IAM User Guide .

      • PermissionsBoundaryType (string) --

        The permissions boundary usage type that indicates what type of IAM resource is used as the permissions boundary for an entity. This data type can only have a value of Policy .

      • PermissionsBoundaryArn (string) --

        The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user or role.

    • Tags (list) --

      A list of tags that are associated with the user. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide .

      • (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.
