Overview

A collection that provides access to IAM groups belonging to this account.

iam = AWS::IAM.new
groups = iam.groups

Creating a Group

You can create a group using the #create method:

group = iam.groups.create("Developers")

Getting a Group by Name

You can get a reference to a server certificate using array notation:

group = iam.groups["Developers"]

Enumerating Groups

Group collections can also be used to enumerate groups:

groups.each do |group|
  puts group.name
end

You can limit the groups returned by passing a :prefix option to any of the enumerator methods. When you pass a prefix, only the certificates whose paths start with the given string will be returned.

def create(name, options = {})
  client_opts = { :group_name => name }.merge(options)
  if path = client_opts[:path]
    client_opts[:path] = "/#{path}/".
      sub(%r{^//}, "/").
      sub(%r{//$}, "/")
  end
  resp = client.create_group(client_opts)
  Group.new(resp.group.group_name, :config => config)
end

#each(options = {}) {|group| ... } ⇒ nil

Yields once for each group.

You can limit the number of groups yielded using :limit and :path_prefix.

Parameters:

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

Options Hash (options):

  • :path_prefix (String) — default: '/' —

    A path prefix that filters according to the path of the group.

  • :limit (Integer) —

    The maximum number of groups to yield.

  • :batch_size (Integer) —

#enumerator(options = {}) ⇒ Enumerator

groups.enumerator(:path_prefix => '/admin').collect(&:name)

Parameters:

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

Options Hash (options):

  • :path_prefix (String) — default: '/' —

    A path prefix that filters according to the path of the group.

  • :limit (Integer) —

    The maximum number of groups to yield.

  • :batch_size (Integer) —

Returns:

  • (Enumerator)
