AWS v6.83.0 published on Monday, Jun 16, 2025 by Pulumi
pulumi/pulumi-aws

    Provides an IAM group.

    NOTE on user management: Using aws.iam.GroupMembership or aws.iam.UserGroupMembership resources in addition to manually managing user/group membership using the console may lead to configuration drift or conflicts. For this reason, it’s recommended to either manage membership entirely with the provider or entirely within the AWS console.

    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

const developers = new aws.iam.Group("developers", {
    name: "developers",
    path: "/users/",
});

    import pulumi
import pulumi_aws as aws

developers = aws.iam.Group("developers",
    name="developers",
    path="/users/")

    package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/sdk/v6/go/aws/iam"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		_, err := iam.NewGroup(ctx, "developers", &iam.GroupArgs{
			Name: pulumi.String("developers"),
			Path: pulumi.String("/users/"),
		})
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		return nil
	})
}

    using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Pulumi;
using Aws = Pulumi.Aws;

return await Deployment.RunAsync(() => 
{
    var developers = new Aws.Iam.Group("developers", new()
    {
        Name = "developers",
        Path = "/users/",
    });

});

    Create Group Resource

    Resources are created with functions called constructors. To learn more about declaring and configuring resources, see Resources.

    Constructor syntax

    new Group(name: string, args?: GroupArgs, opts?: CustomResourceOptions);
    @overload
def Group(resource_name: str,
          args: Optional[GroupArgs] = None,
          opts: Optional[ResourceOptions] = None)

@overload
def Group(resource_name: str,
          opts: Optional[ResourceOptions] = None,
          name: Optional[str] = None,
          path: Optional[str] = None)
    func NewGroup(ctx *Context, name string, args *GroupArgs, opts ...ResourceOption) (*Group, error)
    public Group(string name, GroupArgs? args = null, CustomResourceOptions? opts = null)
    public Group(String name, GroupArgs args)

{
    Name = "string",
    Path = "string",
});

    example, err := iam.NewGroup(ctx, "awsGroupResource", &iam.GroupArgs{
	Name: pulumi.String("string"),
	Path: pulumi.String("string"),
})

    var awsGroupResource = new com.pulumi.aws.iam.Group("awsGroupResource", com.pulumi.aws.iam.GroupArgs.builder()
    .name("string")
    .path("string")
    .build());

    aws_group_resource = aws.iam.Group("awsGroupResource",
    name="string",
    path="string")

    const awsGroupResource = new aws.iam.Group("awsGroupResource", {
