Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
access_key_ids
list / elements=string
A list of the keys that you want affected by the access_key_state parameter.
access_key_state
string
    Choices:
  • create
  • remove
  • active
  • inactive
  • Create
  • Remove
  • Active
  • Inactive
When type is user, it creates, removes, deactivates or activates a user's access key(s). Note that actions apply only to keys specified.
aws_access_key
string
AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used.
If profile is set this parameter is ignored.
Passing the aws_access_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.

aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key
aws_ca_bundle
path
The location of a CA Bundle to use when validating SSL certificates.
Only used for boto3 based modules.
Note: The CA Bundle is read 'module' side and may need to be explicitly copied from the controller if not run locally.
aws_config
dictionary
A dictionary to modify the botocore configuration.
Parameters can be found at https://botocore.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/config.html#botocore.config.Config.
Only the 'user_agent' key is used for boto modules. See http://boto.cloudhackers.com/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html#boto for more boto configuration.
aws_secret_key
string
AWS secret key. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY, or EC2_SECRET_KEY environment variable is used.
If profile is set this parameter is ignored.
Passing the aws_secret_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.

aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key
debug_botocore_endpoint_logs
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Use a botocore.endpoint logger to parse the unique (rather than total) "resource:action" API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results. Use the aws_resource_action callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS environment variable may also be used.
ec2_url
string
Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.

aliases: aws_endpoint_url, endpoint_url
groups
list / elements=string
A list of groups the user should belong to. When state=update, will gracefully remove groups not listed.
iam_type
string / required
    Choices:
  • user
  • group
  • role
Type of IAM resource.
key_count
integer
Default:
1
When access_key_state=create it will ensure this quantity of keys are present.
name
string / required
Name of IAM resource to create or identify.
new_name
string
When state=update, will replace name with new_name on IAM resource.
new_path
string
When state=update, will replace the path with new_path on the IAM resource.
password
string
When type=user and either state=present or state=update, define the users login password.
Note that this will always return 'changed'.
path
string
Default:
"/"
When creating or updating, specify the desired path of the resource.
If state=present, it will replace the current path to match what is passed in when they do not match.
profile
string
Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
Using profile will override aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token and support for passing them at the same time as profile has been deprecated.
aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token will be made mutually exclusive with profile after 2022-06-01.

aliases: aws_profile
region
string
The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region

aliases: aws_region, ec2_region
security_token
string
AWS STS security token. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN environment variable is used.
If profile is set this parameter is ignored.
Passing the security_token and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.

aliases: aws_security_token, access_token
state
string / required
    Choices:
  • present
  • absent

Mutually exclusive with trust_policy.
update_password
string
    Choices:
  • always ←
  • on_create
When to update user passwords.
update_password=always will ensure the password is set to password.
update_password=on_create will only set the password for newly created users.
validate_certs
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.

Notes ----- .. note:: - Currently boto does not support the removal of Managed Policies, the module will error out if your user/group/role has managed policies when you try to do state=absent. They will need to be removed manually. - If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence ``AWS_URL`` or ``EC2_URL``, ``AWS_PROFILE`` or ``AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE``, ``AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`` or ``AWS_ACCESS_KEY`` or ``EC2_ACCESS_KEY``, ``AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`` or ``AWS_SECRET_KEY`` or ``EC2_SECRET_KEY``, ``AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN`` or ``EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN``, ``AWS_REGION`` or ``EC2_REGION``, ``AWS_CA_BUNDLE`` - Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html - ``AWS_REGION`` or ``EC2_REGION`` can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file Examples -------- .. code-block:: yaml # Basic user creation example - name: Create two new IAM users with API keys community.aws.iam: iam_type: user name: "{{ item }}" state: present password: "{{ temp_pass }}" access_key_state: create loop: - jcleese - mpython # Advanced example, create two new groups and add the pre-existing user # jdavila to both groups. - name: Create Two Groups, Mario and Luigi community.aws.iam: iam_type: group name: "{{ item }}" state: present loop: - Mario - Luigi register: new_groups - name: Update user community.aws.iam: iam_type: user name: jdavila state: update groups: "{{ item.created_group.group_name }}" loop: "{{ new_groups.results }}" # Example of role with custom trust policy for Lambda service - name: Create IAM role with custom trust relationship community.aws.iam: iam_type: role name: AAALambdaTestRole state: present trust_policy: Version: '2012-10-17' Statement: - Action: sts:AssumeRole Effect: Allow Principal: Service: lambda.amazonaws.com Return Values ------------- Common return values are documented `here `_, the following are the fields unique to this module: .. raw:: html
