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.
As a best practice, you can validate your IAM policies. To learn more, see Validating IAM policies in the IAM User Guide.
For more information about managed policies in general, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide.
The following example creates a managed policy and associates it with the TestDBGroup
group.
resource "awscc_iam_managed_policy" "test_policy" {
description = "Policy for creating a test database"
path = "/"
policy_document = jsonencode(
{
"Version" : "2012-10-17",
"Statement" : [
{
"Effect" : "Allow",
"Action" : "rds:CreateDBInstance",
"Resource" : "arn:aws:rds:*:*:db:test*",
"Condition" : {
"StringEquals" : {
"rds:DatabaseEngine" : "mysql"
}
}
},
{
"Effect" : "Allow",
"Action" : "rds:CreateDBInstance",
"Resource" : "arn:aws:rds:*:*:db:test*",
"Condition" : {
"StringEquals" : {
"rds:DatabaseClass" : "db.t2.micro"
}
}
}
]
})
groups = ["TestDBGroup"]
}
policy_document
(String) 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 CFN templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. CFN always converts a YAML policy to JSON format before submitting it to IAM.
The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and character quotas.
To learn more about JSON policy grammar, see Grammar of the IAM JSON policy language in the IAM User Guide.
The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:
\u0020
) through the end of the ASCII character range\u00FF
)\u0009
), line feed (\u000A
), and carriage return (\u000D
)description
(String) 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.groups
(Set of String) The name (friendly name, not ARN) of the group to attach the policy to.
This parameter allows (through its regex pattern) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@-managed_policy_name
(String) The friendly name of the policy.
If you specify a name, you cannot perform updates that require replacement of this resource. You can perform updates that require no or some interruption. If you must replace the resource, specify a new name.
If you specify a name, you must specify the CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM
value to acknowledge your template's capabilities. For more information, see Acknowledging Resources in Templates.
Naming an IAM resource can cause an unrecoverable error if you reuse the same template in multiple Regions. To prevent this, we recommend using Fn::Join
and AWS::Region
to create a Region-specific name, as in the following example: {"Fn::Join": ["", [{"Ref": "AWS::Region"}, {"Ref": "MyResourceName"}]]}
.path
(String) The path for the policy.
For more information about paths, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide.
This parameter is optional. If it is not included, it defaults to a slash (/).
This parameter allows (through its regex pattern) a string of characters consisting of either a forward slash (/) by itself or a string that must begin and end with forward slashes. In addition, it can contain any ASCII character from the ! (\u0021
) through the DEL character (\u007F
), including most punctuation characters, digits, and upper and lowercased letters.
You cannot use an asterisk (*) in the path name.roles
(Set of String) The name (friendly name, not ARN) of the role to attach the policy to.
This parameter allows (per 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: _+=,.@-
If an external policy (such as AWS::IAM::Policy
or AWS::IAM::ManagedPolicy
) has a Ref
to a role and if a resource (such as AWS::ECS::Service
) also has a Ref
to the same role, add a DependsOn
attribute to the resource to make the resource depend on the external policy. This dependency ensures that the role's policy is available throughout the resource's lifecycle. For example, when you delete a stack with an AWS::ECS::Service
resource, the DependsOn
attribute ensures that CFN deletes the AWS::ECS::Service
resource before deleting its role's policy.users
(Set of String) The name (friendly name, not ARN) of the IAM user to attach the policy to.
This parameter allows (through its regex pattern) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@-attachment_count
(Number)create_date
(String)default_version_id
(String)id
(String) Uniquely identifies the resource.is_attachable
(Boolean)permissions_boundary_usage_count
(Number)policy_arn
(String)policy_id
(String)update_date
(String)Import is supported using the following syntax:
$ terraform import awscc_iam_managed_policy.example <resource ID>
