Get Context Keys For Principal Policy

iam_get_context_keys_for_principal_policy R Documentation

Gets a list of all of the context keys referenced in all the IAM policies that are attached to the specified IAM entity

Description

Gets a list of all of the context keys referenced in all the IAM policies that are attached to the specified IAM entity. The entity can be an IAM user, group, or role. If you specify a user, then the request also includes all of the policies attached to groups that the user is a member of.

You can optionally include a list of one or more additional policies, specified as strings. If you want to include only a list of policies by string, use get_context_keys_for_custom_policy instead.

Note: This operation discloses information about the permissions granted to other users. If you do not want users to see other user's permissions, then consider allowing them to use get_context_keys_for_custom_policy instead.

Context keys are variables maintained by Amazon Web Services and its services that provide details about the context of an API query request. Context keys can be evaluated by testing against a value in an IAM policy. Use get_context_keys_for_principal_policy to understand what key names and values you must supply when you call simulate_principal_policy.

Usage

iam_get_context_keys_for_principal_policy(PolicySourceArn,
  PolicyInputList)

Arguments

PolicySourceArn

[required] The ARN of a user, group, or role whose policies contain the context keys that you want listed. If you specify a user, the list includes context keys that are found in all policies that are attached to the user. The list also includes all groups that the user is a member of. If you pick a group or a role, then it includes only those context keys that are found in policies attached to that entity. Note that all parameters are shown in unencoded form here for clarity, but must be URL encoded to be included as a part of a real HTML request.

For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

PolicyInputList

An optional list of additional policies for which you want the list of context keys that are referenced.
