# AWS Resources Using AssumeRole

This example shows how to use the AssumeRole functionality of the AWS provider to create resources in the security context of an IAM Role assumed by the IAM User running the Pulumi programs.

## Deploying the Example

### Part 1: Privileged Components

The Pulumi program in `create-role` requires credentials with permissions to create an IAM User, an IAM Role, and assign
an AWS Access Key to the user. The program creates a new, unprivileged user with no policies attached, and a role which
specifies a trust policy allowing assumption by the unprivileged user. The role allows the `s3:*` actions on all
resources.

You'll need to set the `create-role:unprivilegedUsername` configuration variable to the name of the unprivilged user, as
well as the AWS region in which to operate.

```bash
$ cd create-role
$ pulumi stack init assume-role-create
$ pulumi config set create-role:unprivilegedUsername [email protected]
$ pulumi config set aws:region us-east-1
$ pulumi up
```

The program can then be run with `pulumi up`. The outputs of the program tell you the ARN of the Role, and the Access
Key ID and Secret associated with the User:


```
$ pulumi stack output --json
{
"accessKeyId": "AKIAI7JE74TLY2LOEIJA",
"secretAccessKey": "[secret]",
"roleArn": "arn:aws:iam::<redacted>:role/allow-s3-management-ad477e6"
}
```
If we just use the above command then the secretAccessKey would not be shown. In order to show the secret value use this
zephyrz73 marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved

```
$ pulumi stack output --json --show-secrets
{
"accessKeyId": "AKIAYJ7EUPHL3DSDH4CX",
"secretAccessKey": "[plain text value]",
"roleArn": "arn:aws:iam::571173272023:role/allow-s3-management-fcc71c0"
}
```

### Part 2: Assuming the Role

The Pulumi program in `assume-role` creates an S3 bucket after assuming the Role created in Part 1. It should be run
with the unprivileged user credentials created in Part 1. This can be configured as follows, from the `assume-role`
directory, replacing `{YOUR_STACK_PATH/assume-role-create}` with the full name of your stack from Part 1. Full name of your stack is available at [`app.pulumi.com`][app]

```bash
$ cd assume-role
$ npm install
$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="$(pulumi stack output --stack {YOUR_STACK_PATH/assume-role-create} accessKeyId)"
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="$(pulumi stack output --stack {YOUR_STACK_PATH/assume-role-create} --show-secrets secretAccessKey)"
```

The configuration variable `roleToAssumeARN` must be set to the ARN of the role allowing S3 access, and the AWS region
must be set to the region in which you wish to operate:

```bash
$ pulumi stack init assume-role-assume
$ pulumi config set roleToAssumeARN "$(pulumi stack output --stack {YOUR_STACK_PATH/assume-role-create} roleArn)"
$ pulumi config set aws:region us-east-1
```

Unset the AWS_SESSION_TOKEN or any additional credential setting if you have set for previous access

```bash
$ unset AWS_SESSION_TOKEN
```

The program can then be run with `pulumi up`. You can verify that the role is indeed assumed by looking at the
CloudTrail logs of the bucket creation operation, or by commenting out the `assumeRole` configuration in the provider
and ensuring creation is not successful.

### Clean up

To clean up your resources, run `pulumi destroy` and respond yes to the
confirmation prompt.
