Resource Type Marked as Noncompliant in the Console

If this rule finds that any of your access keys are noncompliant, the AWS::IAM::User resource type will also be marked as noncompliant in the Amazon console.

Managed Rules and Global IAM Resource Types

The global IAM resource types onboarded before February 2022 (AWS::IAM::Group, AWS::IAM::Policy, AWS::IAM::Role, and AWS::IAM::User) can only be recorded by Amazon Config in Amazon Regions where Amazon Config was available before February 2022. These resource types cannot be recorded in Regions supported by Amazon Config after February 2022. For a list of those Regions, see Recording Amazon Resources | Global Resources.

If you record a global IAM resource type in at least one Region, periodic rules that report compliance on the global IAM resource type will run evaluations in all Regions where the periodic rule is added, even if you have not enabled the recording of the global IAM resource type in the Region where the periodic rule was added.

To avoid unnecessary evaluations, you should only deploy periodic rules that report compliance on a global IAM resource type to one of the supported Regions. For a list of which managed rules are supported in which Regions, see List of Amazon Config Managed Rules by Region Availability.

Limitations

This rule does not apply to Amazon account root user access keys. To delete or rotate your root user access keys, use your root user credentials to sign in to the My Security Credentials page in the Amazon Web Services Management Console at https://aws.amazon.com/console/.
