IAM Access Analyzer examples using Amazon CLI

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the Amazon Command Line Interface with IAM Access Analyzer.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

The following code example shows how to use validate-policy.

Amazon CLI

To request the validation of a policy and returns a list of findings

The following validate-policy example requests the validation of a policy and returns a list of findings. The policy in the example is a role trust policy for an Amazon Cognito role used for web identity federation.

The correct assume role action for use with Cognito is sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity.
