Code examples for IAM using Amazon SDKs - Amazon Identity and Access Management
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Code examples for IAM using Amazon SDKs

The following code examples show how to use IAM with an Amazon software development kit (SDK).

Actions are code excerpts that show you how to call individual service functions.

Scenarios are code examples that show you how to accomplish a specific task by calling multiple functions within the same service.

Cross-service examples are sample applications that work across multiple Amazon Web Services.

For a complete list of Amazon SDK developer guides and code examples, see Using IAM with an Amazon SDK. This topic also includes information about getting started and details about previous SDK versions.

Get started

namespace IAMActions; public class HelloIAM { static async Task Main(string[] args) { // Getting started with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). List // the policies for the account. var iamClient = new AmazonIdentityManagementServiceClient(); var listPoliciesPaginator = iamClient.Paginators.ListPolicies(new ListPoliciesRequest()); var policies = new List<ManagedPolicy>(); await foreach (var response in listPoliciesPaginator.Responses) { policies.AddRange(response.Policies); } Console.WriteLine("Here are the policies defined for your account:\n"); policies.ForEach(policy => { Console.WriteLine($"Created: {policy.CreateDate}\t{policy.PolicyName}\t{policy.Description}"); }); } }
