A low-level client representing AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM):
import boto3
client = boto3.client('iam')
These are the available methods:
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'
)
[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.
[REQUIRED]
The client ID (also known as audience) to add to the IAM OpenID Connect provider resource.
None
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': {
'...': '...',
},
}
Adds the specified IAM role to the specified instance profile. An instance profile can contain only one role, and this limit 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 AWS 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 API must be granted the PassRole permission on the IAM role by a permissions policy.
For more information about roles, go to Working with Roles . For more information about instance profiles, go to About Instance Profiles .

}
Creates a new AWS secret access key and corresponding AWS 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 AWS access key ID signing the request. This operation works for access keys under the AWS account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage AWS account root user credentials. This is true even if the AWS account has no associated users.
For information about limits on the number of keys you can create, see Limitations on IAM Entities in the IAM User Guide .
Warning
To ensure the security of your AWS 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'
)

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 AWS and the OIDC provider.
When you create the IAM OIDC provider, you specify the following:
You get all of this information from the OIDC IdP that you want to use to access AWS.
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.
See also: AWS API Documentation
Request Syntax
response = client.create_open_id_connect_provider(
Url='string',
ClientIDList=[
'string',
],
ThumbprintList=[
'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 .
You cannot register the same provider multiple times in a single AWS account. If you try to submit a URL that has already been used for an OpenID Connect provider in the AWS account, you will get an error.
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.
[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's thumbprint, see Obtaining the Thumbprint for an OpenID Connect Provider in the IAM User Guide .
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 used by the domain where the OpenID Connect provider makes its keys available. It is always a 40-character 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 AWS CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. AWS 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:
A friendly description of the policy.
Typically used to store information about the permissions defined in the policy. For example, "Grants access to production DynamoDB tables."
The policy description is immutable. After a value is assigned, it cannot be changed.

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.
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 .

)
[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) and AWS Service Namespaces in the AWS General Reference .
[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 AWS CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. AWS 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:
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.

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.
[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".
[REQUIRED]
The trust relationship policy document that grants an entity permission to assume the role.
You must provide policies in JSON format in IAM. However, for AWS CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. AWS 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:
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 maximum of one hour is applied. This setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours.
Anyone who assumes the role from the AWS 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 .
A list of tags that you want to attach to the newly created role. Each tag consists of a key name and an associated value. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM Identities in the IAM User Guide .
Note
If any one of the tags is invalid or if you exceed the allowed number of tags per role, then the entire request fails and the role is not created.
A structure that represents user-provided metadata that can be associated with a resource such as an IAM user or role. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM Identities 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.
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
AWS 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.

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 AWS Management Console or one that supports API access to AWS.
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 AWS Management Console and About SAML 2.0-based Federation in the IAM User Guide .

Creates an IAM role that is linked to a specific AWS 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 AWS 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 AWS 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'
)
[REQUIRED]
The service principal for the AWS 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 AWS 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.
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.

The stable and unique string identifying the user. For more information about IDs, see IAM Identifiers in the Using IAM 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 Using IAM 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 AWS website. For a list of AWS websites that capture a user's last sign-in time, see the Credential Reports topic in the Using IAM 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:
A null valuedoes 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) --
The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user.
For more information about permissions boundaries, see Permissions Boundaries for IAM Identities in the IAM User Guide .

A list of tags that are associated with the specified user. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM Identities in the IAM User Guide .
(dict) --
A structure that represents user-provided metadata that can be associated with a resource such as an IAM user or role. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM Identities 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
AWS 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.

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 API 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 AWS documentation for your service.

Generates a request for a report that includes details about when an IAM resource (user, group, role, or policy) was last used in an attempt to access AWS services. Recent activity usually appears within four hours. IAM reports activity for the last 365 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 AWS API, not just the successful ones. This includes all attempts that were made using the AWS Management Console, the AWS 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:

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, AWS Organizations policies, IAM permissions boundaries, and AWS 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 name of the AWS IAM user that owns this access key.
Contains information about the last time the access key was used.
The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format , when the access key was most recently used. This field is null in the following situations:
The name of the AWS service with which this access key was most recently used. The value of this field is "N/A" in the following situations:
The AWS region where this access key was most recently used. The value for this field is "N/A" in the following situations:
For more information about AWS regions, see Regions and Endpoints in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
Retrieves information about all IAM users, groups, roles, and policies in your AWS account, including their relationships to one another. Use this API to obtain a snapshot of the configuration of IAM permissions (users, groups, roles, and policies) in your account.
Note
Policies returned by this API 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'
)
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.
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.

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 AWS 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.

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.

(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 Using IAM 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 Using IAM guide.

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 Using IAM 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:
Path (string) --
The path to the user. For more information about paths, see IAM Identifiers in the Using IAM guide.
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 Using IAM 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 Using IAM 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 AWS website. For a list of AWS websites that capture a user's last sign-in time, see the Credential Reports topic in the Using IAM 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:
A null valuedoes 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) --
The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user.
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 .

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
AWS 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.
Retrieves the specified inline policy document that is embedded in the specified IAM group.
Note
Policies returned by this API 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 .

After you generate a user, group, role, or policy report using the GenerateServiceLastAccessedDetails operation, you can use the JobId parameter in GetServiceLastAccessedDetails . This operation retrieves the status of your report job and a list of AWS 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, AWS Organizations policies, IAM permissions boundaries, and AWS 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:
By default, the list is sorted by service namespace.

Response Structure
Contains the response to a successful GetUser request.
A structure containing details about the IAM user.
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 GetUser API. 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 AWS 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 AWS programmatically you can refer to access key last used information because it is accurate for all dates.
The path to the user. For more information about paths, see IAM Identifiers in the Using IAM guide.
The friendly name identifying the user.
The stable and unique string identifying the user. For more information about IDs, see IAM Identifiers in the Using IAM guide.
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 Using IAM guide.
The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format , when the user was created.
The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format , when the user's password was last used to sign in to an AWS website. For a list of AWS websites that capture a user's last sign-in time, see the Credential Reports topic in the Using IAM 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:
A null valuedoes 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.
The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user.
For more information about permissions boundaries, see Permissions Boundaries for IAM Identities in the IAM User Guide .
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 .
The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user or role.
A list of tags that are associated with the specified user. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM Identities in the IAM User Guide .
A structure that represents user-provided metadata that can be associated with a resource such as an IAM user or role. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM Identities 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.
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
AWS 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.
Examples
The following command gets information about the IAM user named Bob.
response = client.get_user(
UserName='Bob',
)
print(response)
Expected Output:
{
'User': {
'Arn': 'arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/Bob',

Retrieves the specified inline policy document that is embedded in the specified IAM user.
Note
Policies returned by this API 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 .

IAM stores policies in JSON format. However, resources that were created using AWS CloudFormation templates can be formatted in YAML. AWS CloudFormation always converts a YAML policy to JSON format before submitting it to IAM.
Returns an object that can wait for some condition.
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 field is not specified, the user name is determined implicitly based on the AWS access key ID used to sign the request. This operation works for access keys under the AWS account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage AWS account root user credentials even if the AWS account has no associated users.
Note
To ensure the security of your AWS account, the secret access key is accessible only during key and user creation.

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, AWS Organizations policies, IAM permissions boundaries, and AWS 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.
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.

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

Adds or updates the policy that is specified as the IAM role's permissions boundary. You can use an AWS 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.

[REQUIRED]
The name (friendly name, not ARN) of the IAM role for which you want to set the permissions boundary.
[REQUIRED]
The ARN of the policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the role.
None
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, go to 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 limits on the number of inline policies that you can embed with a role, see Limitations on IAM Entities 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, go to Making Query Requests in the IAM User Guide .

)
[REQUIRED]
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM policy whose default version you want to set.
For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) and AWS Service Namespaces in the AWS General Reference .
[REQUIRED]
The version of the policy to set as the default (operative) version.
For more information about managed policy versions, see Versioning for Managed Policies in the IAM User Guide .
None
Sets the specified version of the global endpoint token as the token version used for the AWS account.
By default, AWS Security Token Service (STS) is available as a global service, and all STS requests go to a single endpoint at https://sts.amazonaws.com . AWS recommends using Regional STS endpoints to reduce latency, build in redundancy, and increase session token availability. For information about Regional endpoints for STS, see AWS Regions and Endpoints in the AWS 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 AWS 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 AWS 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'
)
[REQUIRED]
The version of the global endpoint token. Version 1 tokens are valid only in AWS 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 AWS Region in the IAM User Guide .
Simulate how a set of IAM policies and optionally a resource-based policy works with a list of API operations and AWS 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.
If you want to simulate existing policies attached to an IAM user, group, or role, use SimulatePrincipalPolicy instead.
Context keys are variables maintained by AWS 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 GetContextKeysForCustomPolicy .
If the output is long, you can use MaxItems and Marker parameters to paginate the results.

],
ResourceHandlingOption='string',
MaxItems=123,
Marker='string'
)
[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 regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:
[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.
A list of ARNs of AWS 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.
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) and AWS Service Namespaces in the AWS General Reference .
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 regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:
An ARN representing the AWS 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 .
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.
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.
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 `` SimulateCustomPolicy `` .
The full name of a condition context key, including the service prefix. For example, aws:SourceIp or s3:VersionId .
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.
The data type of the value (or values) specified in the ContextKeyValues parameter.
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 .
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.

When simulating cross-account access to a resource, both the resource-based policy and the caller's IAM policy must grant access.
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.

When IsTruncated is true , this element is present and contains the value to use for the Marker parameter in a subsequent pagination request.
Simulate how a set of IAM policies attached to an IAM entity works with a list of API operations and AWS 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 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.
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 API 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 AWS 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.

[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.
For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) and AWS Service Namespaces in the AWS General Reference .
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:
[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 .
A list of ARNs of AWS 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.
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) and AWS Service Namespaces in the AWS General Reference .
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 regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:
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) and AWS Service Namespaces in the AWS General Reference .
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 permission policies, the corresponding value is supplied.
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 `` SimulateCustomPolicy `` .
The full name of a condition context key, including the service prefix. For example, aws:SourceIp or s3:VersionId .
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.
The data type of the value (or values) specified in the ContextKeyValues parameter.
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 .
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.

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 .
OrganizationsDecisionDetail (dict) --
A structure that details how AWS 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 AWS Organizations service control policies that impact the simulated user's account.
EvalDecisionDetails (dict) --
Additional details about the results of the evaluation decision. When there are both IAM policies and resource policies, this parameter explains how each set of policies contributes to the final evaluation decision. When simulating cross-account access to a resource, both the resource-based policy and the caller's IAM policy must grant access. See How IAM Roles Differ from Resource-based Policies
ResourceSpecificResults (list) --

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 .
EvalDecisionDetails (dict) --
Additional details about the results of the evaluation decision. When there are both IAM policies and resource policies, this parameter explains how each set of policies contributes to the final evaluation decision. When simulating cross-account access to a resource, both the resource-based policy and the caller's IAM policy must grant access.
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.
Adds one or more tags to an IAM role. The role can be a regular role or a service-linked role. 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:
Note
For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM Identities in the IAM User Guide .
See also: AWS API Documentation
Request Syntax

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
AWS 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.
None
Adds one or more tags to an IAM user. If a tag with the same key name already exists, then that tag is overwritten with the new value.

RequireSymbols=True|False,
RequireNumbers=True|False,
RequireUppercaseCharacters=True|False,
RequireLowercaseCharacters=True|False,
AllowUsersToChangePassword=True|False,
MaxPasswordAge=123,
PasswordReusePrevention=123,
HardExpiry=True|False
)
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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.
Allows all IAM users in your account to use the AWS Management Console to change their own passwords. For more information, see Letting IAM Users 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.
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.
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.
Prevents IAM users from setting a new password after their password has expired. The IAM user cannot be accessed 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.
None
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)

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, go to 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'
)
[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: _+=,.@-
[REQUIRED]
The policy that grants an entity permission to assume the role.
You must provide policies in JSON format in IAM. However, for AWS CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. AWS 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:
None
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': {
'...': '...',
},
}
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'
)
[REQUIRED]
Name of the IAM group to update. If you're changing the name of the group, this is the original name.

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.
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".
None
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': {
'...': '...',

}
Changes the password for the specified IAM user.
IAM users can change their own passwords by calling ChangePassword . 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

}
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's 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
Trust for the OIDC provider is derived from the provider's 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',
]
)
[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) and AWS Service Namespaces in the AWS General Reference .
[REQUIRED]
A list of certificate thumbprints that are associated with the specified IAM OpenID Connect provider. For more information, see CreateOpenIDConnectProvider .
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 used by the domain where the OpenID Connect provider makes its keys available. It is always a 40-character string.
None
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
)
[REQUIRED]
The name of the role that you want to modify.
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 maximum of one hour is applied. This setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours.
Anyone who assumes the role from the AWS 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 .

Uploads a server certificate entity for the AWS 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 AWS Certificate Manager to provision, manage, and deploy your server certificates. With ACM you can request a certificate, deploy it to AWS resources, and let ACM handle certificate renewals for you. Certificates provided by ACM are free. For more information about using ACM, see the AWS 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 AWS services that can use the server certificates that you manage with IAM.
For information about the number of server certificates you can upload, see Limitations on IAM Entities and Objects 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 more information about managed policies, refer to Managed Policies and Inline Policies in the Using IAM 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.
paginator = client.get_paginator('list_role_policies')
Creates an iterator that will paginate through responses from IAM.Client.list_role_policies().

In other words, do not use policies designed to restrict what a user can do while using the temporary credentials.
The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:
[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.
A list of ARNs of AWS 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.
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) and AWS Service Namespaces in the AWS General Reference .
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 regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:
An ARN representing the AWS 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 .
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.
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.
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 `` SimulateCustomPolicy `` .
The full name of a condition context key, including the service prefix. For example, aws:SourceIp or s3:VersionId .
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.
The data type of the value (or values) specified in the ContextKeyValues parameter.
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 .

[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.
For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) and AWS Service Namespaces in the AWS General Reference .
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:
[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 .
A list of ARNs of AWS 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.
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) and AWS Service Namespaces in the AWS General Reference .
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 regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:
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) and AWS Service Namespaces in the AWS General Reference .
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 permission policies, the corresponding value is supplied.
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 `` SimulateCustomPolicy `` .
The full name of a condition context key, including the service prefix. For example, aws:SourceIp or s3:VersionId .
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.
The data type of the value (or values) specified in the ContextKeyValues parameter.
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.

The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:
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 maximum of one hour is applied. This setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours.
Anyone who assumes the role from the AWS 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 .
A list of tags that you want to attach to the newly created role. Each tag consists of a key name and an associated value. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM Identities in the IAM User Guide .
Note
If any one of the tags is invalid or if you exceed the allowed number of tags per role, then the entire request fails and the role is not created.
A structure that represents user-provided metadata that can be associated with a resource such as an IAM user or role. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM Identities 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.
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
AWS 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.
iam.Role
Role resource
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 AWS Management Console or one that supports API access to AWS.
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 AWS Management Console and About SAML 2.0-based Federation in the IAM User Guide .

Uploads a server certificate entity for the AWS 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 AWS Certificate Manager to provision, manage, and deploy your server certificates. With ACM you can request a certificate, deploy it to AWS resources, and let ACM handle certificate renewals for you. Certificates provided by ACM are free. For more information about using ACM, see the AWS 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 AWS services that can use the server certificates that you manage with IAM.
For information about the number of server certificates you can upload, see Limitations on IAM Entities and Objects 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, go to Signing AWS API Requests in the AWS General Reference . For general information about using the Query API with IAM, go to Calling the API by Making HTTP Query Requests in the IAM User Guide .

iam.ServerCertificate
ServerCertificate resource
Uploads an X.509 signing certificate and associates it with the specified IAM user. Some AWS services use X.509 signing certificates to validate requests that are signed with a corresponding private key. When you upload the certificate, its default status is Active .
If the UserName is not specified, the IAM user name is determined implicitly based on the AWS access key ID used to sign the request. This operation works for access keys under the AWS account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage AWS account root user credentials even if the AWS 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, go to Signing AWS API Requests in the AWS General Reference . For general information about using the Query API with IAM, go to Making Query Requests in the IAM User Guide .

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.
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.

Deletes the specified server certificate.
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 AWS services that can use the server certificates that you manage with IAM.
Warning
If you are using a server certificate with Elastic Load Balancing, deleting the certificate could have implications for your application. If Elastic Load Balancing doesn't detect the deletion of bound certificates, it may continue to use the certificates. This could cause Elastic Load Balancing to stop accepting traffic. We recommend that you remove the reference to the certificate from Elastic Load Balancing before using this command to delete the certificate. For more information, go to DeleteLoadBalancerListeners in the Elastic Load Balancing API Reference .

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 AWS services that can use the server certificates that you manage with IAM.
Warning
You should understand the implications of changing a server certificate's path or name. For more information, see Renaming a Server Certificate in the IAM User Guide .
Note
The person making the request (the principal), must have permission to change the server certificate with the old name and the new name. For example, to change the certificate named ProductionCert to ProdCert , the principal must have a policy that allows them to update both certificates. If the principal has permission to update the ProductionCert group, but not the ProdCert certificate, then the update fails. For more information about permissions, see Access Management in the IAM User Guide .

Identifiers
Identifiers are properties of a resource that are set upon instantation of the resource. For more information about identifiers refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.
(string) The User's name 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.
(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 Using IAM guide.

For a list of AWS websites that capture a user's last sign-in time, see the Credential Reports topic in the Using IAM 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:
A null valuedoes 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.
(string) --
The path to the user. For more information about paths, see IAM Identifiers in the Using IAM guide.

Typically, many resources have tags with the same key name but with different values.
Note
AWS 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.
(string) --
The stable and unique string identifying the user. For more information about IDs, see IAM Identifiers in the Using IAM guide.
(string) --
The friendly name identifying the user.

iam.User
User resource
Creates a new AWS secret access key and corresponding AWS 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 AWS access key ID signing the request. This operation works for access keys under the AWS account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage AWS account root user credentials. This is true even if the AWS account has no associated users.
For information about limits on the number of keys you can create, see Limitations on IAM Entities in the IAM User Guide .
Warning
To ensure the security of your AWS 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()

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 AWS Management Console, might restrict the ability to type certain characters because they have special meaning within that tool.
iam.LoginProfile
LoginProfile resource
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 limits on the number of inline policies that you can embed in a user, see Limitations on IAM Entities 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, go to Making Query Requests in the IAM User Guide .
See also: AWS API Documentation
Request Syntax
user_policy = user.create_policy(
PolicyName='string',

(string) --
The name of the policy.
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.
Deletes the specified inline policy that is embedded in the specified IAM user.
A user can also have managed policies attached to it. To detach a managed policy from a user, use DetachUserPolicy . For more information about policies, refer to Managed Policies and Inline Policies in the IAM User Guide .

Request Syntax
response = user_policy.delete()
Returns a list of all the available sub-resources for this Resource.
Calls IAM.Client.get_user_policy() to update the attributes of the UserPolicy resource. Note that the load and reload methods are the same method and can be used interchangeably.
See also: AWS API Documentation
Request Syntax
user_policy.load()
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 limits on the number of inline policies that you can embed in a user, see Limitations on IAM Entities 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, go to Making Query Requests in the IAM User Guide .

[REQUIRED]
The policy document.
You must provide policies in JSON format in IAM. However, for AWS CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. AWS 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:
Calls IAM.Client.get_user_policy() to update the attributes of the UserPolicy resource. Note that the load and reload methods are the same method and can be used interchangeably.

Sub-resources
Sub-resources are methods that create a new instance of a child resource. This resource's identifiers get passed along to the child. For more information about sub-resources refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.
A resource representing an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) VirtualMfaDevice:
import boto3
iam = boto3.resource('iam')
virtual_mfa_device = iam.VirtualMfaDevice('serial_number')
These are the resource's available identifiers:
These are the resource's available attributes:
These are the resource's available references:
These are the resource's available actions:
Identifiers
Identifiers are properties of a resource that are set upon instantation of the resource. For more information about identifiers refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.
(string) The VirtualMfaDevice's serial_number 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.
(bytes) --
The base32 seed defined as specified in RFC3548 . The Base32StringSeed is base64-encoded.
(datetime) --
The date and time on which the virtual MFA device was enabled.
(bytes) --
A QR code PNG image that encodes otpauth://totp/$virtualMFADeviceName@$AccountName?secret=$Base32String where $virtualMFADeviceName is one of the create call arguments. AccountName is the user name if set (otherwise, the account ID otherwise), and Base32String is the seed in base32 format. The Base32String value is base64-encoded.
(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 Using IAM guide.
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 Using IAM 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 Using IAM 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 AWS website. For a list of AWS websites that capture a user's last sign-in time, see the Credential Reports topic in the Using IAM 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:
A null valuedoes 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) --
The ARN of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the user.
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 specified user. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM Identities in the IAM User Guide .
(dict) --
A structure that represents user-provided metadata that can be associated with a resource such as an IAM user or role. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM Identities 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
AWS 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.
(User) The related user 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.
Deletes a virtual MFA device.
Note
You must deactivate a user's virtual MFA device before you can delete it. For information about deactivating MFA devices, see DeactivateMFADevice .
