# aws_iam_role
|
|
|
|
Use the `aws_iam_role` InSpec audit resource to test properties of a single IAM Role. A Role is a collection of permissions that may be temporarily assumed by a user, EC2 Instance, Lambda Function, or certain other resources.

## Syntax
|
|
|
|
# Ensure that a certain role exists by name
|
|
describe aws_iam_role('my-role') do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
## Resource Parameters
|
|
|
|
### role_name
|
|
|
|
This resource expects a single parameter that uniquely identifes the IAM Role, the Role Name. You may pass it as a string, or as the value in a hash:
|
|
|
|
describe aws_iam_role('my-role') do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
# Same
|
|
describe aws_iam_role(role_name: 'my-role') do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
## Matchers
|
|
|
|
### exist
|
|
|
|
Indicates that the Role Name provided was found. Use should_not to test for IAM Roles that should not exist.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_iam_role('should-be-there') do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe aws_iam_role('should-not-be-there') do
|
|
it { should_not exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
## Properties
|
|
|
|
### description
|
|
|
|
A textual description of the IAM Role.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_iam_role('my-role') do
|
|
its('description') { should be('Our most important Role')}
|
|
end
