/// <summary> /// List IAM groups. /// </summary> /// <returns>A list of IAM groups.</returns> public async Task<List<Group>> ListGroupsAsync() { var groupsPaginator = _IAMService.Paginators.ListGroups(new ListGroupsRequest()); var groups = new List<Group>(); await foreach (var response in groupsPaginator.Responses) { groups.AddRange(response.Groups); } return groups; }

// GroupWrapper encapsulates AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) group actions // used in the examples. // It contains an IAM service client that is used to perform group actions. type GroupWrapper struct { IamClient *iam.Client } // ListGroups lists up to maxGroups number of groups. func (wrapper GroupWrapper) ListGroups(maxGroups int32) ([]types.Group, error) { var groups []types.Group result, err := wrapper.IamClient.ListGroups(context.TODO(), &iam.ListGroupsInput{ MaxItems: aws.Int32(maxGroups), }) if err != nil { log.Printf("Couldn't list groups. Here's why: %v\n", err) } else { groups = result.Groups } return groups, err }

Create the client.

import { IAMClient } from "@aws-sdk/client-iam"; // Set the AWS Region. const REGION = "REGION"; // For example, "us-east-1". // Create an IAM service client object. const iamClient = new IAMClient({ region: REGION }); export { iamClient };

List the groups.

// Import required AWS SDK clients and commands for Node.js. import { iamClient } from "./libs/iamClient.js"; import {ListGroupsCommand} from "@aws-sdk/client-iam"; // Set the parameters. export const params = { RoleName: 'ROLE_NAME', /* This is a number value. Required */ Marker: 'MARKER', /* This is a string value. Optional */ MaxItems: 'MAX_ITEMS' /* This is a number value. Optional */ }; export const run = async () => { try { const data = await iamClient.send(new ListGroupsCommand({})); console.log("Success", data.Groups); } catch (err) { console.log("Error", err); } } run();
