USAGE EXAMPLE

As interactive shell

You can run interactive shell `iamsh' and call IAM API.

$ export AMAZON_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXXX
$ export AMAZON_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XXXXX
$ iamsh

    @iam defined.

    Examples to try:

      returns : all iam public methods
      >> @iam.methods.sort

      returns : get all Amazon IAM groups.
      >> @iam.list_groups

Welcome to IRB.
>>

Create a new IAM user by CreateUser API.

>> @iam.create_user :user_name => 'john'
>> result = @iam.list_users
>> puts result['ListUsersResult']['Users']['member'].inspect
[{"UserName"=>"john", "Arn"=>"arn:aws:iam::000000000000:user/john", "Path"=>"/", "UserId"=>"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"}]

Then create an user policy JSON string.

>> policy = {}
>> policy['Statement'] = [{
  'Effect' => 'Allow',
  'Action' => 'ec2:Describe*',
  'Resource' => '*'
}]
>> require 'json'
>> policy = policy.to_json

And put it by PutUserPolicy API.

>> @iam.put_user_policy :user_name => 'john', :policy_name => 'AllowDescribeEC2', :policy_document => policy
>> result = @iam.get_user_policy :user_name => 'john', :policy_name => 'AllowDescribeEC2'
>> result['GetUserPolicyResult']['PolicyDocument']
"{\"Statement\":[{\"Action\":\"ec2:Describe*\",\"Resource\":\"*\",\"Effect\":\"Allow\"}]}"

Delete an user policy and user.

>> @iam.delete_user_policy :user_name => 'john', :policy_name => 'AllowDescribeEC2'
>> @iam.delete_user :user_name => 'john'

As library

You can require the library and call IAM API from any ruby script.

require 'rubygems'
require 'stratus'

iam = Stratus::AWS::IAM::Base.new('YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID', 'YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')
result = iam.create_group :group_name => 'Developers'
group = result['CreateGroupResult']['Group']
puts "Group ARN is #{group['Arn']}"

Read the IAM API Reference for further information.
