    Provides an IAM role.

    NOTE: If policies are attached to the role via the aws.iam.PolicyAttachment resource and you are modifying the role name or path, the force_detach_policies argument must be set to true and applied before attempting the operation otherwise you will encounter a DeleteConflict error. The aws.iam.RolePolicyAttachment resource (recommended) does not have this requirement.

    NOTE: If you use this resource’s managed_policy_arns argument or inline_policy configuration blocks, this resource will take over exclusive management of the role’s respective policy types (e.g., both policy types if both arguments are used). These arguments are incompatible with other ways of managing a role’s policies, such as aws.iam.PolicyAttachment, aws.iam.RolePolicyAttachment, and aws.iam.RolePolicy. If you attempt to manage a role’s policies by multiple means, you will get resource cycling and/or errors.

    Role Resource Properties

    To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Architecture and Concepts docs.

    Inputs

    In Python, inputs that are objects can be passed either as argument classes or as dictionary literals.

    The Role resource accepts the following input properties:

    AssumeRolePolicy string | string

    Policy that grants an entity permission to assume the role.

    NOTE: The assume_role_policy is very similar to but slightly different than a standard IAM policy and cannot use an aws.iam.Policy resource. However, it can use an aws.iam.getPolicyDocument data source. See the example above of how this works.

    The following arguments are optional:

    Description string
    Description of the role.
    ForceDetachPolicies bool
    Whether to force detaching any policies the role has before destroying it. Defaults to false.
    InlinePolicies List<RoleInlinePolicy>
    Configuration block defining an exclusive set of IAM inline policies associated with the IAM role. See below. If no blocks are configured, the provider will not manage any inline policies in this resource. Configuring one empty block (i.e., inline_policy {}) will cause the provider to remove all inline policies added out of band on apply.
    ManagedPolicyArns List<string>
    MaxSessionDuration int
    Maximum session duration (in seconds) that you want to set for the specified role. If you do not specify a value for this setting, the default maximum of one hour is applied. This setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours.
    Name string
    Friendly name of the role. If omitted, the provider will assign a random, unique name. See IAM Identifiers for more information.
    NamePrefix string
    Creates a unique friendly name beginning with the specified prefix. Conflicts with name.
    Path string
    Path to the role. See IAM Identifiers for more information.
    PermissionsBoundary string
    ARN of the policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the role.
    Tags Dictionary<string, string>
    Key-value mapping of tags for the IAM role. If configured with a provider default_tags configuration block present, tags with matching keys will overwrite those defined at the provider-level.
    AssumeRolePolicy string | string

    Policy that grants an entity permission to assume the role.

    NOTE: The assume_role_policy is very similar to but slightly different than a standard IAM policy and cannot use an aws.iam.Policy resource. However, it can use an aws.iam.getPolicyDocument data source. See the example above of how this works.

    The following arguments are optional:

    Description string
    Description of the role.
    ForceDetachPolicies bool
    Whether to force detaching any policies the role has before destroying it. Defaults to false.
    InlinePolicies []RoleInlinePolicyArgs
    Configuration block defining an exclusive set of IAM inline policies associated with the IAM role. See below. If no blocks are configured, the provider will not manage any inline policies in this resource. Configuring one empty block (i.e., inline_policy {}) will cause the provider to remove all inline policies added out of band on apply.
    ManagedPolicyArns []string
    MaxSessionDuration int
    Maximum session duration (in seconds) that you want to set for the specified role. If you do not specify a value for this setting, the default maximum of one hour is applied. This setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours.
    Name string
    Friendly name of the role. If omitted, the provider will assign a random, unique name. See IAM Identifiers for more information.
    NamePrefix string
    Creates a unique friendly name beginning with the specified prefix. Conflicts with name.
    Path string
    Path to the role. See IAM Identifiers for more information.
    PermissionsBoundary string
    ARN of the policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the role.
    Tags map[string]string
    Key-value mapping of tags for the IAM role. If configured with a provider default_tags configuration block present, tags with matching keys will overwrite those defined at the provider-level.
    assumeRolePolicy String | String

    Policy that grants an entity permission to assume the role.

    NOTE: The assume_role_policy is very similar to but slightly different than a standard IAM policy and cannot use an aws.iam.Policy resource. However, it can use an aws.iam.getPolicyDocument data source. See the example above of how this works.

    The following arguments are optional:

    assumeRolePolicy string | PolicyDocument

    Policy that grants an entity permission to assume the role.

    NOTE: The assume_role_policy is very similar to but slightly different than a standard IAM policy and cannot use an aws.iam.Policy resource. However, it can use an aws.iam.getPolicyDocument data source. See the example above of how this works.

    The following arguments are optional:

    description string
    Description of the role.
    forceDetachPolicies boolean
    Whether to force detaching any policies the role has before destroying it. Defaults to false.
    inlinePolicies RoleInlinePolicy[]
    Configuration block defining an exclusive set of IAM inline policies associated with the IAM role. See below. If no blocks are configured, the provider will not manage any inline policies in this resource. Configuring one empty block (i.e., inline_policy {}) will cause the provider to remove all inline policies added out of band on apply.
    managedPolicyArns string[]
    maxSessionDuration number
    Maximum session duration (in seconds) that you want to set for the specified role. If you do not specify a value for this setting, the default maximum of one hour is applied. This setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours.

    inline_policies Sequence[RoleInlinePolicyArgs]
    Configuration block defining an exclusive set of IAM inline policies associated with the IAM role. See below. If no blocks are configured, the provider will not manage any inline policies in this resource. Configuring one empty block (i.e., inline_policy {}) will cause the provider to remove all inline policies added out of band on apply.
    managed_policy_arns Sequence[str]
    max_session_duration int
    Maximum session duration (in seconds) that you want to set for the specified role. If you do not specify a value for this setting, the default maximum of one hour is applied. This setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours.

    Arn string
    Amazon Resource Name (ARN) specifying the role.
    AssumeRolePolicy string | string

    Policy that grants an entity permission to assume the role.

    The following arguments are optional:

    CreateDate string
    Creation date of the IAM role.
