Component: iam-role

This component is responsible for provisioning simple IAM roles. If a more complicated IAM role and policy are desired then it is better to use a separate component specific to that role.

Usage

Stack Level: Global

Abstract

# stacks/catalog/iam-role.yaml
components:
  terraform:
    iam-role/defaults:
      metadata:
        type: abstract
        component: iam-role
      settings:
        spacelift:
          workspace_enabled: true
      vars:
        enabled: true

Use-case: An IAM role for AWS Workspaces Directory since this service does not have a service linked role.

# stacks/catalog/aws-workspaces/directory/iam-role.yaml
import:
  - catalog/iam-role

components:
  terraform:
    aws-workspaces/directory/iam-role:
      metadata:
        component: iam-role
        inherits:
          - iam-role/defaults
      vars:
        name: workspaces_DefaultRole
        # Added _ here to allow the _ character
        regex_replace_chars: /[^a-zA-Z0-9-_]/
        # Keep the current name casing
        label_value_case: none
        # Use the "name" without the other context inputs i.e. namespace, tenant, environment, attributes
        use_fullname: false
        role_description: |
          Used with AWS Workspaces Directory. The name of the role does not match the normal naming convention because this name is a requirement to work with the service. This role has to be used until AWS provides the respective service linked role.
        principals:
          Service:
            - workspaces.amazonaws.com
        # This will prevent the creation of a managed IAM policy
        policy_document_count: 0
        managed_policy_arns:
          - arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonWorkSpacesServiceAccess

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Default	Required
additional_tag_map	Additional key-value pairs to add to each map in tags_as_list_of_maps. Not added to tags or id. This is for some rare cases where resources want additional configuration of tags and therefore take a list of maps with tag key, value, and additional configuration.	map(string)	{}	no
assume_role_actions	The IAM action to be granted by the AssumeRole policy	list(string)	[ "sts:AssumeRole", "sts:SetSourceIdentity", "sts:TagSession" ]	no
assume_role_conditions	List of conditions for the assume role policy	list(object({ test = string variable = string values = list(string) }))	[]	no
attributes	ID element. Additional attributes (e.g. workers or cluster) to add to id, in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the delimiter and treated as a single ID element.	list(string)	[]	no
context	Single object for setting entire context at once. See description of individual variables for details. Leave string and numeric variables as null to use default value. Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object, except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged.	any	{ "additional_tag_map": {}, "attributes": [], "delimiter": null, "descriptor_formats": {}, "enabled": true, "environment": null, "id_length_limit": null, "label_key_case": null, "label_order": [], "label_value_case": null, "labels_as_tags": [ "unset" ], "name": null, "namespace": null, "regex_replace_chars": null, "stage": null, "tags": {}, "tenant": null }	no
delimiter	Delimiter to be used between ID elements. Defaults to - (hyphen). Set to "" to use no delimiter at all.	string	null	no
descriptor_formats	Describe additional descriptors to be output in the descriptors output map. Map of maps. Keys are names of descriptors. Values are maps of the form {<br/> format = string<br/> labels = list(string)<br/>} (Type is any so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.) format is a Terraform format string to be passed to the format() function. labels is a list of labels, in order, to pass to format() function. Label values will be normalized before being passed to format() so they will be identical to how they appear in id. Default is {} (descriptors output will be empty).	any	{}	no
enabled	Set to false to prevent the module from creating any resources	bool	null	no
environment	ID element. Usually used for region e.g. 'uw2', 'us-west-2', OR role 'prod', 'staging', 'dev', 'UAT'	string	null	no
id_length_limit	Limit id to this many characters (minimum 6). Set to 0 for unlimited length. Set to null for keep the existing setting, which defaults to 0. Does not affect id_full.	number	null	no
instance_profile_enabled	Create EC2 Instance Profile for the role	bool	false	no
label_key_case	Controls the letter case of the tags keys (label names) for tags generated by this module. Does not affect keys of tags passed in via the tags input. Possible values: lower, title, upper. Default value: title.	string	null	no
label_order	The order in which the labels (ID elements) appear in the id. Defaults to ["namespace", "environment", "stage", "name", "attributes"]. You can omit any of the 6 labels ("tenant" is the 6th), but at least one must be present.	list(string)	null	no
label_value_case	Controls the letter case of ID elements (labels) as included in id, set as tag values, and output by this module individually. Does not affect values of tags passed in via the tags input. Possible values: lower, title, upper and none (no transformation). Set this to title and set delimiter to "" to yield Pascal Case IDs. Default value: lower.	string	null	no
labels_as_tags	Set of labels (ID elements) to include as tags in the tags output. Default is to include all labels. Tags with empty values will not be included in the tags output. Set to [] to suppress all generated tags. Notes: The value of the name tag, if included, will be the id, not the name. Unlike other null-label inputs, the initial setting of labels_as_tags cannot be changed in later chained modules. Attempts to change it will be silently ignored.	set(string)	[ "default" ]	no
managed_policy_arns	List of managed policies to attach to created role	set(string)	[]	no
max_session_duration	The maximum session duration (in seconds) for the role. Can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours	number	3600	no
name	ID element. Usually the component or solution name, e.g. 'app' or 'jenkins'. This is the only ID element not also included as a tag. The "name" tag is set to the full id string. There is no tag with the value of the name input.	string	null	no
namespace	ID element. Usually an abbreviation of your organization name, e.g. 'eg' or 'cp', to help ensure generated IDs are globally unique	string	null	no
path	Path to the role and policy. See IAM Identifiers for more information.	string	"/"	no
permissions_boundary	ARN of the policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the role	string	""	no
policy_description	The description of the IAM policy that is visible in the IAM policy manager	string	""	no
policy_document_count	Number of policy documents (length of policy_documents list)	number	1	no
policy_documents	List of JSON IAM policy documents	list(string)	[]	no
policy_name	The name of the IAM policy that is visible in the IAM policy manager	string	null	no
principals	Map of service name as key and a list of ARNs to allow assuming the role as value (e.g. map(AWS, list(arn:aws:iam:::role/admin)))	map(list(string))	{}	no
regex_replace_chars	Terraform regular expression (regex) string. Characters matching the regex will be removed from the ID elements. If not set, "/[^a-zA-Z0-9-]/" is used to remove all characters other than hyphens, letters and digits.	string	null	no
region	AWS Region	string	n/a	yes
role_description	The description of the IAM role that is visible in the IAM role manager	string	n/a	yes
stage	ID element. Usually used to indicate role, e.g. 'prod', 'staging', 'source', 'build', 'test', 'deploy', 'release'	string	null	no
tags	Additional tags (e.g. {'BusinessUnit': 'XYZ'}). Neither the tag keys nor the tag values will be modified by this module.	map(string)	{}	no
tags_enabled	Enable/disable tags on IAM roles and policies	string	true	no
tenant	ID element _(Rarely used, not included by default)_. A customer identifier, indicating who this instance of a resource is for	string	null	no
use_fullname	If set to 'true' then the full ID for the IAM role name (e.g. [var.namespace]-[var.environment]-[var.stage]) will be used. Otherwise, var.name will be used for the IAM role name.	bool	true	no
