Remarks

ExampleMetadata: lit=test/example.attaching.lit.ts infused

Properties

Groups

Groups to add this user to.

IGroup[]? Groups { get; }

Property Value

IGroup[]

Remarks

You can also use addToGroup to add this user to a group.

Default: - No groups.

ManagedPolicies

A list of managed policies associated with this role.

IManagedPolicy[]? ManagedPolicies { get; }

Property Value

IManagedPolicy[]

Remarks

You can add managed policies later using addManagedPolicy(ManagedPolicy.fromAwsManagedPolicyName(policyName)).

Default: - No managed policies.

Password

The password for the user. This is required so the user can access the AWS Management Console.

SecretValue? Password { get; }

Property Value

SecretValue

Remarks

You can use SecretValue.unsafePlainText to specify a password in plain text or use secretsmanager.Secret.fromSecretAttributes to reference a secret in Secrets Manager.

Default: - User won't be able to access the management console without a password.

PasswordResetRequired

Specifies whether the user is required to set a new password the next time the user logs in to the AWS Management Console.

bool? PasswordResetRequired { get; }

Property Value

bool?

Remarks

If this is set to 'true', you must also specify "initialPassword".

Default: false

Path

The path for the user name.

string? Path { get; }

Property Value

string

Remarks

For more information about paths, see IAM Identifiers in the IAM User Guide.

Default: /

PermissionsBoundary

AWS supports permissions boundaries for IAM entities (users or roles).

IManagedPolicy? PermissionsBoundary { get; }

Property Value

IManagedPolicy

Remarks

A permissions boundary is an advanced feature for using a managed policy to set the maximum permissions that an identity-based policy can grant to an IAM entity. An entity's permissions boundary allows it to perform only the actions that are allowed by both its identity-based policies and its permissions boundaries.

Default: - No permissions boundary.

UserName

A name for the IAM user.

string? UserName { get; }

Property Value

string

Remarks

For valid values, see the UserName parameter for the CreateUser action in the IAM API Reference. If you don't specify a name, AWS CloudFormation generates a unique physical ID and uses that ID for the user name.

If you specify a name, you cannot perform updates that require replacement of this resource. You can perform updates that require no or some interruption. If you must replace the resource, specify a new name.

If you specify a name, you must specify the CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM value to acknowledge your template's capabilities. For more information, see Acknowledging IAM Resources in AWS CloudFormation Templates.

Default: - Generated by CloudFormation (recommended)
