AWS Identity and Access Management

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service that you can use to manage users and user permissions under your AWS account. This guide provides descriptions of IAM actions that you can call programmatically. For general information about IAM, see AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). For the user guide for IAM, see Using IAM.

AWS provides SDKs that consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms (Java, Ruby, .NET, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide a convenient way to create programmatic access to IAM and AWS. For example, the SDKs take care of tasks such as cryptographically signing requests (see below), managing errors, and retrying requests automatically. For information about the AWS SDKs, including how to download and install them, see the [Tools for Amazon Web Services](http://aws.amazon.com/tools/) page. We recommend that you use the AWS SDKs to make programmatic API

calls to IAM. However, you can also use the IAM Query API to make direct calls to the IAM web service. To learn more about the IAM Query API, see Making Query Requests in the Using IAM guide. IAM supports GET and POST requests for all actions. That is, the API does not require you to use GET for some actions and POST for others. However, GET requests are subject to the limitation size of a URL. Therefore, for operations that require larger sizes, use a POST request.

Signing Requests

Requests must be signed using an access key ID and a secret access key. We strongly recommend that you do not use your AWS account access key ID and secret access key for everyday work with IAM. You can use the access key ID and secret access key for an IAM user or you can use the AWS Security Token Service to generate temporary security credentials and use those to sign requests.

To sign requests, we recommend that you use Signature Version 4. If you have an existing application that uses Signature Version 2, you do not have to update it to use Signature Version 4. However, some operations now require Signature Version 4. The documentation for operations that require version 4 indicate this requirement.

Link to this section Functions

Returns a map containing the input/output shapes for this endpoint

Outputs values common to all actions

Link to this function add_client_i_d_to_open_i_d_connect_provider(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

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

Link to this function add_role_to_instance_profile(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Adds the specified IAM role to the specified instance profile. An instance profile can contain only one role, and this limit cannot be increased.

The caller of this API must be granted the `PassRole` permission on the IAM role by a permission policy. For more information about roles, go to [Working with

Roles](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/WorkingWithRoles.html). For more information about instance profiles, go to About Instance Profiles.

Link to this function add_user_to_group(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Adds the specified user to the specified group.

Link to this function attach_group_policy(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Attaches the specified managed policy to the specified IAM group.

You use this API to attach a managed policy to a group. To embed an inline policy in a group, use PutGroupPolicy.

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

Link to this function attach_role_policy(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Attaches the specified managed policy to the specified IAM role. When you attach a managed policy to a role, the managed policy becomes part of the role’s permission (access) policy.

You cannot use a managed policy as the role's trust policy. The role's trust policy is created at the same time as the role, using `CreateRole`. You can update a role's trust policy using `UpdateAssumeRolePolicy`. Use this API to attach a *managed* policy to a role. To embed an

inline policy in a role, use PutRolePolicy. For more information about policies, see Managed Policies and Inline Policies in the IAM User Guide.

Link to this function attach_user_policy(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Attaches the specified managed policy to the specified user.

You use this API to attach a managed policy to a user. To embed an inline policy in a user, use PutUserPolicy.

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

Link to this function change_password(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Changes the password of the IAM user who is calling this action. The root account password is not affected by this action.

To change the password for a different user, see UpdateLoginProfile. For more information about modifying passwords, see Managing Passwords in the IAM User Guide.

Link to this function create_access_key(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

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. Because this action works for access keys under the AWS account, you can use this action to manage root credentials 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.

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.
Link to this function create_account_alias(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Creates an alias for your AWS account. For information about using an AWS account alias, see Using an Alias for Your AWS Account ID in the IAM User Guide.

Link to this function create_group(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Creates a new group.

For information about the number of groups you can create, see Limitations on IAM Entities in the IAM User Guide.

Link to this function create_instance_profile(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Creates a new instance profile. For information about instance profiles, go to About Instance Profiles.

For information about the number of instance profiles you can create, see Limitations on IAM Entities in the IAM User Guide.

Link to this function create_login_profile(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Creates a password for the specified user, giving the user the ability to access AWS services through the AWS Management Console. For more information about managing passwords, see Managing Passwords in the IAM User Guide.

Link to this function create_open_i_d_connect_provider(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

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 to establish a trust relationship between AWS and the OIDC provider.

When you create the IAM OIDC provider, you specify the URL of the OIDC identity provider (IdP) to trust, a list of client IDs (also known as audiences) that identify the application or applications that are allowed to authenticate using the OIDC provider, and a list of thumbprints of the server certificate(s) that the IdP uses. You get all of this information from the OIDC IdP that you want to use for access to AWS.

Because trust for the OIDC provider is ultimately derived from the IAM provider that this action creates, it is a best practice to limit access to the `CreateOpenIDConnectProvider` action to highly-privileged users.
Link to this function create_policy(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Creates a new managed policy for your AWS account.

This operation creates a policy version with a version identifier of v1 and sets v1 as the policy’s default version. For more information about policy versions, see Versioning for Managed Policies in the IAM User Guide.

For more information about managed policies in general, see Managed Policies and Inline Policies in the IAM User Guide.

Link to this function create_policy_version(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

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.

Link to this function create_role(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Creates a new role for your AWS account. For more information about roles, go to Working with Roles. For information about limitations on role names and the number of roles you can create, go to Limitations on IAM Entities in the IAM User Guide.

Link to this function create_s_a_m_l_provider(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

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 to 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 an a SAML metadata document that you get from your IdP and that 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.

This operation requires [Signature Version 4](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html). For more information, see [Enabling SAML 2.0 Federated Users to

Access the AWS Management Console](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_providers_enable-console-saml.html) and About SAML 2.0-based Federation in the IAM User Guide.

Link to this function create_service_linked_role(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

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.

The name of the role is autogenerated by combining the string that you specify for the AWSServiceName parameter with the string that you specify for the CustomSuffix parameter. The resulting name must be unique in your account or the request fails.

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

Link to this function create_service_specific_credential(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Generates a set of credentials consisting of a user name and password that can be used to access the service specified in the request. These credentials are generated by IAM, and can be used only for the specified service.

You can have a maximum of two sets of service-specific credentials for each supported service per user.

The only supported service at this time is AWS CodeCommit.

You can reset the password to a new service-generated value by calling ResetServiceSpecificCredential.

For more information about service-specific credentials, see Using IAM with AWS CodeCommit: Git Credentials, SSH Keys, and AWS Access Keys in the IAM User Guide.

Link to this function create_user(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Creates a new IAM user for your AWS account.

For information about limitations on the number of IAM users you can create, see Limitations on IAM Entities in the IAM User Guide.

Link to this function create_virtual_m_f_a_device(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Creates a new virtual MFA device for the AWS account. After creating the virtual MFA, use EnableMFADevice to attach the MFA device to an IAM user. For more information about creating and working with virtual MFA devices, go to Using a Virtual MFA Device in the IAM User Guide.

For information about limits on the number of MFA devices you can create, see Limitations on Entities in the IAM User Guide.

The seed information contained in the QR code and the Base32 string should be treated like any other secret access information, such as your AWS access keys or your passwords. After you provision your virtual device, you should ensure that the information is destroyed following secure procedures.
Link to this function deactivate_m_f_a_device(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deactivates the specified MFA device and removes it from association with the user name for which it was originally enabled.

For more information about creating and working with virtual MFA devices, go to Using a Virtual MFA Device in the IAM User Guide.

Link to this function delete_access_key(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deletes the access key pair associated with the specified IAM user.

If you do not specify a user name, IAM determines the user name implicitly based on the AWS access key ID signing the request. Because this action works for access keys under the AWS account, you can use this action to manage root credentials even if the AWS account has no associated users.

Link to this function delete_account_alias(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deletes the specified AWS account alias. For information about using an AWS account alias, see Using an Alias for Your AWS Account ID in the IAM User Guide.

Link to this function delete_account_password_policy(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deletes the password policy for the AWS account. There are no parameters.

Link to this function delete_group(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deletes the specified IAM group. The group must not contain any users or have any attached policies.

Link to this function delete_group_policy(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deletes the specified inline policy that is embedded in the specified IAM group.

A group can also have managed policies attached to it. To detach a managed policy from a group, use DetachGroupPolicy. For more information about policies, refer to Managed Policies and Inline Policies in the IAM User Guide.

Link to this function delete_instance_profile(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deletes the specified instance profile. The instance profile must not have an associated role.

Make sure you do not have any Amazon EC2 instances running with the instance profile you are about to delete. Deleting a role or instance profile that is associated with a running instance will break any applications running on the instance. For more information about instance profiles, go to [About

Instance Profiles](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/AboutInstanceProfiles.html).

Link to this function delete_login_profile(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deletes the password for the specified IAM user, which terminates the user’s ability to access AWS services through the AWS Management Console.

Deleting a user's password does not prevent a user from accessing AWS through the command line interface or the API. To prevent all user access you must also either make any access keys inactive or delete them. For more information about making keys inactive or deleting them, see `UpdateAccessKey` and `DeleteAccessKey`.
Link to this function delete_open_i_d_connect_provider(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deletes an OpenID Connect identity provider (IdP) resource object in IAM.

Deleting an IAM OIDC provider resource does not update any roles that reference the provider as a principal in their trust policies. Any attempt to assume a role that references a deleted provider fails.

This action is idempotent; it does not fail or return an error if you call the action for a provider that does not exist.

Link to this function delete_policy(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deletes the specified managed policy.

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

  • Detach the policy from all users, groups, and roles that the policy is attached to, using the `DetachUserPolicy`, `DetachGroupPolicy`, or `DetachRolePolicy` APIs. To list all the users, groups, and roles that a policy is attached to, use `ListEntitiesForPolicy`.
  • Delete all versions of the policy using `DeletePolicyVersion`. To list the policy's versions, use `ListPolicyVersions`. You cannot use `DeletePolicyVersion` to delete the version that is marked as the default version. You delete the policy's default version in the next step of the process.
  • Delete the policy (this automatically deletes the policy's default version) using this API.
For information about managed policies, see [Managed Policies and Inline Policies](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/policies-managed-vs-inline.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.
Link to this function delete_policy_version(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deletes the specified version from the specified managed policy.

You cannot delete the default version from a policy using this API. To delete the default version from a policy, use DeletePolicy. To find out which version of a policy is marked as the default version, use ListPolicyVersions.

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

Link to this function delete_role(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deletes the specified role. The role must not have any policies attached. For more information about roles, go to Working with Roles.

Make sure you do not have any Amazon EC2 instances running with the role you are about to delete. Deleting a role or instance profile that is associated with a running instance will break any applications running on the instance.
Link to this function delete_role_policy(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deletes the specified inline policy that is embedded in the specified IAM role.

A role can also have managed policies attached to it. To detach a managed policy from a role, use DetachRolePolicy. For more information about policies, refer to Managed Policies and Inline Policies in the IAM User Guide.

Link to this function delete_s_a_m_l_provider(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deletes a SAML provider resource in IAM.

Deleting the provider resource from IAM does not update any roles that reference the SAML provider resource’s ARN as a principal in their trust policies. Any attempt to assume a role that references a non-existent provider resource ARN fails.

This operation requires [Signature Version 4](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html).
Link to this function delete_s_s_h_public_key(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deletes the specified SSH public key.

The SSH public key deleted by this action is used only for authenticating the associated IAM user to an AWS CodeCommit repository. For more information about using SSH keys to authenticate to an AWS CodeCommit repository, see Set up AWS CodeCommit for SSH Connections in the AWS CodeCommit User Guide.

Link to this function delete_server_certificate(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Deletes the specified server certificate.

For more information about working with server certificates, including a list of AWS services that can use the server certificates that you manage with IAM, go to Working with Server Certificates in the IAM User Guide.

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.

Link to this function update_open_i_d_connect_provider_thumbprint(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

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 action 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.

Because trust for the OIDC provider is ultimately derived from the provider's certificate and is validated by the thumbprint, it is a best practice to limit access to the `UpdateOpenIDConnectProviderThumbprint` action to highly-privileged users.
Link to this function update_role_description(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Modifies the description of a role.

Link to this function update_s_a_m_l_provider(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Updates the metadata document for an existing SAML provider resource object.

This operation requires [Signature Version 4](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html).
Link to this function update_s_s_h_public_key(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Sets the status of an IAM user’s SSH public key to active or inactive. SSH public keys that are inactive cannot be used for authentication. This action can be used to disable a user’s SSH public key as part of a key rotation work flow.

The SSH public key affected by this action is used only for authenticating the associated IAM user to an AWS CodeCommit repository. For more information about using SSH keys to authenticate to an AWS CodeCommit repository, see Set up AWS CodeCommit for SSH Connections in the AWS CodeCommit User Guide.

Link to this function update_server_certificate(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Updates the name and/or the path of the specified server certificate stored in IAM.

For more information about working with server certificates, including a list of AWS services that can use the server certificates that you manage with IAM, go to Working with Server Certificates in the IAM User Guide.

You should understand the implications of changing a server certificate's path or name. For more information, see [Renaming a Server Certificate](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_server-certs_manage.html#RenamingServerCerts) in the *IAM User Guide*. To change a server certificate name the requester must

have appropriate permissions on both the source object and the target object. For example, to change the name from “ProductionCert” to “ProdCert”, the entity making the request must have permission on “ProductionCert” and “ProdCert”, or must have permission on all (). For more information about permissions, see Access Management in the IAM User Guide*.

Link to this function update_service_specific_credential(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Sets the status of a service-specific credential to Active or Inactive. Service-specific credentials that are inactive cannot be used for authentication to the service. This action can be used to disable a user’s service-specific credential as part of a credential rotation work flow.

Link to this function update_signing_certificate(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Changes the status of the specified user signing certificate from active to disabled, or vice versa. This action can be used to disable an IAM user’s signing certificate as part of a certificate rotation work flow.

If the UserName field is not specified, the UserName is determined implicitly based on the AWS access key ID used to sign the request. Because this action works for access keys under the AWS account, you can use this action to manage root credentials even if the AWS account has no associated users.

Link to this function update_user(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

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

You should understand the implications of changing an IAM user's path or name. For more information, see [Renaming an IAM User](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_manage.html#id_users_renaming) and [Renaming an IAM Group](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_groups_manage_rename.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. To change a user name the requester must have

appropriate permissions on both the source object and the target object. For example, to change Bob to Robert, the entity making the request must have permission on Bob and Robert, or must have permission on all (*). For more information about permissions, see Permissions and Policies.

Link to this function upload_s_s_h_public_key(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Uploads an SSH public key and associates it with the specified IAM user.

The SSH public key uploaded by this action can be used only for authenticating the associated IAM user to an AWS CodeCommit repository. For more information about using SSH keys to authenticate to an AWS CodeCommit repository, see Set up AWS CodeCommit for SSH Connections in the AWS CodeCommit User Guide.

Link to this function upload_server_certificate(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

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, including a list of AWS services that can use the server certificates that you manage with IAM, go to Working with Server Certificates in the IAM User Guide.

For information about the number of server certificates you can upload, see Limitations on IAM Entities and Objects in the IAM User Guide.

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](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signing_aws_api_requests.html) 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](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/programming.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.
Link to this function upload_signing_certificate(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

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 field is not specified, the IAM user name is determined implicitly based on the AWS access key ID used to sign the request. Because this action works for access keys under the AWS account, you can use this action to manage root credentials even if the AWS account has no associated users.

Because the body of a 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](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signing_aws_api_requests.html) in the *AWS General Reference*.
