AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Terraform module

These types of resources are supported:

Usage

iam-account:

module "iam_account" {
  source = "terraform-aws-modules/iam/aws//modules/iam-account"

  account_alias = "awesome-company"

  minimum_password_length = 37
  require_numbers         = false
}

iam-assumable-roles:

module "iam_assumable_roles" {
  source = "terraform-aws-modules/iam/aws//modules/iam-assumable-roles"

  trusted_role_arns = [
    "arn:aws:iam::307990089504:root",
    "arn:aws:iam::835367859851:user/anton",
  ]

  create_admin_role = true

  create_poweruser_role = true
  poweruser_role_name   = "developer"

  create_readonly_role       = true
  readonly_role_requires_mfa = false
}

iam-user:

module "iam_user" {
  source = "terraform-aws-modules/iam/aws//modules/iam-user"

  name          = "vasya.pupkin"
  force_destroy = true

  pgp_key = "keybase:test"

  password_reset_required = false
}

IAM Best Practices

AWS published IAM Best Practices and this Terraform module was created to help with some of points listed there:

Create Individual IAM Users

Use iam-user module module to manage IAM users.

Use AWS Defined Policies to Assign Permissions Whenever Possible

Use iam-assumable-roles module to create IAM roles with managed policies to support common tasks (admin, poweruser or readonly).

Use Groups to Assign Permissions to IAM Users

Use iam-group-with-assumable-roles-policy module to manage IAM groups of users who can assume roles.

Configure a Strong Password Policy for Your Users

Use iam-account module to set password policy for your IAM users.

Enable MFA for Privileged Users

Terraform can't configure MFA for the user. It is only possible via AWS Console and AWS CLI.

Delegate by Using Roles Instead of by Sharing Credentials

iam-assumable-roles and iam-group-with-assumable-roles-policy modules provide complete set of functionality required for this.

Use Policy Conditions for Extra Security

iam-assumable-roles module can be configured to require valid MFA token when different roles are assumed (for example, admin role requires MFA, but readonly - does not).

Examples

complete - Create all required resources to allow one group of users to assume privileged role, while another group of users can only assume readonly role.
iam-account - Set AWS account alias and password policy
iam-assumable-roles - Create IAM roles which can be assumed from specified ARNs (AWS accounts, IAM users, etc)
iam-user - Add IAM user, login profile and access keys
