Deletes the specified role¶

Description¶

Deletes the specified role. Unlike the Amazon Web Services Management Console, when you delete a role programmatically, you must delete the items attached to the role manually, or the deletion fails. For more information, see Deleting an IAM role. Before attempting to delete a role, remove the following attached items:

• Inline policies (delete_role_policy)
• Attached managed policies (detach_role_policy)
• Instance profile (remove_role_from_instance_profile)
• Optional – Delete instance profile after detaching from role for resource clean up (delete_instance_profile)

Make sure that you do not have any Amazon EC2 instances running with the role you are about to delete. Deleting a role or instance profile that is associated with a running instance will break any applications running on the instance.

Usage¶

iam_delete_role(RoleName)

Arguments¶

• RoleName

  [required] The name of the role to delete.

  This parameter allows (through its regex pattern) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@-

Value¶

An empty list.

Request syntax¶

svc$delete_role(
  RoleName = "string"
)

Examples¶

# The following command removes the role named Test-Role.

  RoleName = "Test-Role"
)
