    Resource for maintaining exclusive management of managed IAM policies assigned to an AWS IAM (Identity & Access Management) group.

    !> This resource takes exclusive ownership over managed IAM policies attached to a group. This includes removal of managed IAM policies which are not explicitly configured. To prevent persistent drift, ensure any aws.iam.GroupPolicyAttachment resources managed alongside this resource are included in the policy_arns argument.

    Destruction of this resource means Terraform will no longer manage reconciliation of the configured policy attachments. It will not detach the configured policies from the group.

    Example Usage

    Basic Usage

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

const example = new aws.iam.GroupPolicyAttachmentsExclusive("example", {
    groupName: exampleAwsIamGroup.name,
    policyArns: [exampleAwsIamPolicy.arn],
});

    import pulumi
import pulumi_aws as aws

example = aws.iam.GroupPolicyAttachmentsExclusive("example",
    group_name=example_aws_iam_group["name"],
    policy_arns=[example_aws_iam_policy["arn"]])

    package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/sdk/v7/go/aws/iam"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		_, err := iam.NewGroupPolicyAttachmentsExclusive(ctx, "example", &iam.GroupPolicyAttachmentsExclusiveArgs{
			GroupName: pulumi.Any(exampleAwsIamGroup.Name),
			PolicyArns: pulumi.StringArray{
				exampleAwsIamPolicy.Arn,
			},
		})
		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 example = new Aws.Iam.GroupPolicyAttachmentsExclusive("example", new()
    {
        GroupName = exampleAwsIamGroup.Name,
        PolicyArns = new[]
        {
            exampleAwsIamPolicy.Arn,
        },
    });

});

    Disallow Managed IAM Policies

    To automatically remove any configured managed IAM policies, set the policy_arns argument to an empty list.

    This will not prevent managed IAM policies from being assigned to a group via Terraform (or any other interface). This resource enables bringing managed IAM policy assignments into a configured state, however, this reconciliation happens only when apply is proactively run.
