Get Caller Identity

sts_get_caller_identity

R Documentation

Returns details about the IAM user or role whose credentials are used to call the operation

Description

Returns details about the IAM user or role whose credentials are used to call the operation.

No permissions are required to perform this operation. If an administrator attaches a policy to your identity that explicitly denies access to the sts:GetCallerIdentity action, you can still perform this operation. Permissions are not required because the same information is returned when access is denied. To view an example response, see I Am Not Authorized to Perform: iam:DeleteVirtualMFADevice in the IAM User Guide.

Value

A list with the following syntax:

list(
  UserId = "string",
  Account = "string",
  Arn = "string"
)

Request syntax
