README
Terraform Module to provision a basic IAM user suitable for humans. It will establish a login profile and associate the user with IAM groups.
We do not recommend creating IAM users for any other purpose. For external systems (e.g. CI/CD) check out our [`terraform-aws-iam-system-user`](https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-iam-system-user) module.
> [!TIP]
> #### 👽 Use Atmos with Terraform
> Cloud Posse uses [`atmos`](https://atmos.tools) to easily orchestrate multiple environments using Terraform.
> Works with [Github Actions](https://atmos.tools/integrations/github-actions/), [Atlantis](https://atmos.tools/integrations/atlantis), or [Spacelift](https://atmos.tools/integrations/spacelift).
>
>
> Watch demo of using Atmos with Terraform
> 
> Example of running atmos to manage infrastructure from our Quick Start tutorial.
>
## Usage
First, make sure all users register with [keybase.io](https://keybase.io) to faciliate public key encryption (PKE).
Then use their keybase username to automatically encrypt their AWS secret. It's that easy!
```hcl
module "jack" {
source = "cloudposse/iam-user/aws"
# Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
# version = "x.x.x"
name = "jack"
user_name = "[email protected]"
pgp_key = "keybase:jack"
groups = ["admins"]
}
```
__NOTE:__ We recommend using email addresses for IAM user accounts.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> In Cloud Posse's examples, we avoid pinning modules to specific versions to prevent discrepancies between the documentation
> and the latest released versions. However, for your own projects, we strongly advise pinning each module to the exact version
> you're using. This practice ensures the stability of your infrastructure. Additionally, we recommend implementing a systematic
> approach for updating versions to avoid unexpected changes.
## Examples
```hcl
module "jill" {
source = "cloudposse/iam-user/aws"
# Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
# version = "x.x.x"
name = "jill"
user_name = "[email protected]"
pgp_key = "keybase:jill"
groups = ["engineering"]
}
```

## Inputs
| Name | Description | Type | Default | Required |
|------|-------------|------|---------|:--------:|
| [additional\_tag\_map](#input\_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 |
| [attributes](#input\_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](#input\_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](#input\_delimiter) | Delimiter to be used between ID elements.
Defaults to `-` (hyphen). Set to `""` to use no delimiter at all. | `string` | `null` | no |
| [descriptor\_formats](#input\_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
`{
format = string
labels = list(string)
}`
(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](#input\_enabled) | Set to false to prevent the module from creating any resources | `bool` | `null` | no |
| [environment](#input\_environment) | ID element. Usually used for region e.g. 'uw2', 'us-west-2', OR role 'prod', 'staging', 'dev', 'UAT' | `string` | `null` | no |
| [force\_destroy](#input\_force\_destroy) | When destroying this user, destroy even if it has non-Terraform-managed IAM access keys, login profile or MFA devices. Without force\_destroy a user with non-Terraform-managed access keys and login profile will fail to be destroyed. | `bool` | `false` | no |
| [groups](#input\_groups) | List of IAM user groups this user should belong to in the account | `list(string)` | `[]` | no |
| [id\_length\_limit](#input\_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 |
| [label\_key\_case](#input\_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](#input\_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](#input\_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](#input\_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 |
| [login\_profile\_enabled](#input\_login\_profile\_enabled) | Whether to create IAM user login profile | `bool` | `true` | no |
| [name](#input\_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](#input\_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 |
| [password\_length](#input\_password\_length) | The length of the generated password | `number` | `24` | no |
| [password\_reset\_required](#input\_password\_reset\_required) | Whether the user should be forced to reset the generated password on first login. | `bool` | `true` | no |
| [path](#input\_path) | Desired path for the IAM user | `string` | `"/"` | no |
| [permissions\_boundary](#input\_permissions\_boundary) | The ARN of the policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the user | `string` | `""` | no |

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 |
| [stage](#input\_stage) | ID element. Usually used to indicate role, e.g. 'prod', 'staging', 'source', 'build', 'test', 'deploy', 'release' | `string` | `null` | no |
| [tags](#input\_tags) | Additional tags (e.g. `{'BusinessUnit': 'XYZ'}`).
Neither the tag keys nor the tag values will be modified by this module. | `map(string)` | `{}` | no |
| [tenant](#input\_tenant) | ID element \_(Rarely used, not included by default)\_. A customer identifier, indicating who this instance of a resource is for | `string` | `null` | no |
| [user\_name](#input\_user\_name) | Desired name for the IAM user. We recommend using email addresses. | `string` | n/a | yes |
