roles

Roles

This example creates policies and various different roles.

Overview

Roles must be assumed. The AWS resource which is allowed to assume a specific role has to be defined on a per role base via its trust_policy_file.

• When using the policies key, respective policies must be defined in var.policies.

Examples

Note: The following examples only shows the creation of a single role each. You can however create as many roles as desired. Also re-arranging them within the list will not trigger terraform to change or destroy resources as they're internally stored in a map (rather than a list) by their role names as keys (See module's locals.tf for transformation).

Role assumed by another role

The following defined role has administrator access on the provisioned AWS account.

terraform.tfvars

roles = [
  {
    name                 = "ROLE-ADMIN"
    path                 = null
    desc                 = null
    trust_policy_file    = "data/trust-policies/admin.json"
    permissions_boundary = null
    policies             = []
    inline_policies      = []
    policy_arns          = ["arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AdministratorAccess"]
  },
]

The following trust policy allows to assume the above defined role, from a role named LOGIN-ADMIN in the AWS account 1234567890.

data/trust-policies/admin.json

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": [
          "arn:aws:iam::1234567890:role/federation/LOGIN-ADMIN"
        ]
      },
      "Condition": {}
    }
  ]
}

Usage

To run this example you need to execute:

$ terraform init
$ terraform plan
$ terraform apply

Note that this example may create resources which cost money. Run terraform destroy when you don't need these resources.

Requirements
