  2. Creating AWS IAM User Policy Attachment

How do I create an AWS IAM user policy attachment?

In this guide, we will create an AWS IAM user policy attachment using Pulumi. This involves creating an IAM user, an IAM policy, and attaching the policy to the user. This setup is useful for managing permissions for IAM users in AWS.

Key Points

  • Create an IAM user
  • Create an IAM policy
  • Attach the policy to the user
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Create an IAM user
const user = new aws.iam.User("exampleUser", {
    name: "example-user",
});

// Create an IAM policy
const policy = new aws.iam.Policy("examplePolicy", {
    name: "example-policy",
    description: "A test policy",
    policy: JSON.stringify({
        Version: "2012-10-17",
        Statement: [
            {
                Action: "s3:ListBucket",
                Effect: "Allow",
                Resource: "*",
            },
        ],
    }),
});

// Attach the policy to the user
const userPolicyAttachment = new aws.iam.UserPolicyAttachment("exampleUserPolicyAttachment", {
    user: user.name,
    policyArn: policy.arn,
});

Summary

In this guide, we created an AWS IAM user, defined an IAM policy, and attached the policy to the user using Pulumi. This allows the user to have the permissions specified in the policy.
