AWS IAM provider

Integrating an AWS IAM provider with Devolutions Cloud allows you to centralize identity and access management by leveraging your existing AWS credentials. This configuration enables account discovery, heartbeat monitoring, and password rotation for your AWS resources.

Prerequisite

• Create a user in AWS who will act as a provider.
• Create an access key.
• The following permissions are required for the AWS identity provider:

ACTION	DESCRIPTION
iam:GetUser	To ensure the necessary permissions are in place before proceeding.
iam:SimulatePrincipalPolicy	To ensure the necessary permissions are in place before proceeding.

Account discovery

ACTION	DESCRIPTION
iam:ListAccessKeys	To get a list of access keys.
iam:ListUsers	To get a list of IAM users.

Password reset - Password

ACTION	DESCRIPTION
iam:GetLoginProfile	To check whether a login profile needs to be created or updated.
iam:CreateLoginProfile	To generate a password if non exists.
iam:UpdateLoginProfile	To update the password.

Password reset - Access key

ACTION	DESCRIPTION
iam:CreateAccessKey	To generate an access key on import or rotation.
iam:DeleteAccessKey	To delete the previous access key after rotation.
iam:UpdateAccessKey	To disable the previous access key before deletion.
iam:ListUserTags	To verify if we need to update the tag of an access key
iam:TagUser	To add a tag to the user in the format <accessKeyId, message>. Note that tags are applied to the user, not the access key.
iam:UntagUser	To remove an existing access key tag.
