IAM code examples for the SDK for Ruby

Overview

Shows how to use the AWS SDK for Ruby to work with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).

<!--custom.overview.start--> <!--custom.overview.end-->

IAM is a web service for securely controlling access to AWS services. With IAM, you can centrally manage permissions in your AWS account.

⚠ Important

  • Running this code might result in charges to your AWS account. For more details, see AWS Pricing and Free Tier.
  • Running the tests might result in charges to your AWS account.
  • We recommend that you grant your code least privilege. At most, grant only the minimum permissions required to perform the task. For more information, see Grant least privilege.
  • This code is not tested in every AWS Region. For more information, see AWS Regional Services.

Code examples

Prerequisites

For prerequisites, see the README in the ruby folder.

<!--custom.prerequisites.start--> <!--custom.prerequisites.end-->

Get started

Basics

Code examples that show you how to perform the essential operations within a service.

Single actions

Code excerpts that show you how to call individual service functions.

<!--custom.examples.start--> <!--custom.examples.end-->

Run the examples

Instructions

<!--custom.instructions.start-->

The quickest way to interact with this example code is to invoke a Scenario from your command line. For example, ruby some_scenario.rb will invoke some_scenario.rb.

<!--custom.instructions.end-->

Hello IAM

This example shows you how to get started using IAM.

ruby hello/hello_iam.rb

Learn the basics

This example shows you how to create a user and assume a role.

  • Create a user with no permissions.
  • Create a role that grants permission to list Amazon S3 buckets for the account.
  • Add a policy to let the user assume the role.
  • Assume the role and list S3 buckets using temporary credentials, then clean up resources.
<!--custom.basic_prereqs.iam_Scenario_CreateUserAssumeRole.start--> <!--custom.basic_prereqs.iam_Scenario_CreateUserAssumeRole.end-->

Start the example by running the following at a command prompt:

ruby scenario_users.rb
<!--custom.basics.iam_Scenario_CreateUserAssumeRole.start--> <!--custom.basics.iam_Scenario_CreateUserAssumeRole.end-->

Tests

⚠ Running tests might result in charges to your AWS account.

To find instructions for running these tests, see the README in the ruby folder.
