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.
|
|
iam_name
-
/ required
|
Name of IAM resource you wish to target for policy actions. In other words, the user name, group name or role name.
|
|
iam_type
-
/ required
|
|
Type of IAM resource

policy_document
-
|
The path to the properly json formatted policy file (mutually exclusive with
policy_json ) |
|
policy_json
-
|
A properly json formatted policy as string (mutually exclusive with
policy_document , see https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/7005#issuecomment-42894813 on how to use it properly) |
|
policy_name

Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
|
|
region
string

skip_duplicates
-
|
Default: "/"
|
By default the module looks for any policies that match the document you pass in, if there is a match it will not make a new policy object with the same rules. You can override this by specifying false which would allow for two policy objects with different names but same rules.
|

Whether to create or delete the IAM policy.
|
validate_certs
boolean
|
|
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 not work removing/adding managed policies.
- If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence
AWS_URL
orEC2_URL
,AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
orAWS_ACCESS_KEY
orEC2_ACCESS_KEY
,AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
orAWS_SECRET_KEY
orEC2_SECRET_KEY
,AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN
orEC2_SECURITY_TOKEN
,AWS_REGION
orEC2_REGION
- 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
orEC2_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¶
# Create a policy with the name of 'Admin' to the group 'administrators'
- name: Assign a policy called Admin to the administrators group
iam_policy:
iam_type: group
iam_name: administrators
policy_name: Admin
state: present
policy_document: admin_policy.json
# Advanced example, create two new groups and add a READ-ONLY policy to both
# groups.
- name: Create Two Groups, Mario and Luigi
iam:
iam_type: group
name: "{{ item }}"
state: present
loop:
- Mario
- Luigi
register: new_groups
- name: Apply READ-ONLY policy to new groups that have been recently created
iam_policy:
iam_type: group
iam_name: "{{ item.created_group.group_name }}"
policy_name: "READ-ONLY"
policy_document: readonlypolicy.json
state: present
loop: "{{ new_groups.results }}"
# Create a new S3 policy with prefix per user
- name: Create S3 policy from template
iam_policy:
iam_type: user
iam_name: "{{ item.user }}"
policy_name: "s3_limited_access_{{ item.prefix }}"
state: present
policy_json: " {{ lookup( 'template', 's3_policy.json.j2') }} "
loop:
