About the aws_iam_group Resource	aws

aws_iam_group

Use the aws_iam_group InSpec audit resource to test properties of a single IAM group.

To test properties of multiple or all groups, use the aws_iam_groups resource.

Syntax

An aws_iam_group resource block identifies a group by group name.

# Find a group by group name
describe aws_iam_group('mygroup') do
  it { should exist }
end

# Hash syntax for group name
describe aws_iam_group(group_name: 'mygroup') do
  it { should exist }
end

Examples

The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.

As this is the initial release of aws_iam_group, its limited functionality precludes examples.

Matchers

exists

The control will pass if a group with the given group name exists.

describe aws_iam_group('mygroup')
  it { should exist }
end
