iam_generate_service_last_accessed_details: Generates a request for a report that includes details about when an IAM resource (user, group, role, or policy) was last used in an attempt to access AWS services

Description

Generates a request for a report that includes details about when an IAM resource (user, group, role, or policy) was last used in an attempt to access AWS services. Recent activity usually appears within four hours. IAM reports activity for the last 365 days, or less if your region began supporting this feature within the last year. For more information, see Regions Where Data Is Tracked.

Usage

iam_generate_service_last_accessed_details(Arn)

Arguments

Arn

[required] The ARN of the IAM resource (user, group, role, or managed policy) used to generate information about when the resource was last used in an attempt to access an AWS service.

Request syntax

svc$generate_service_last_accessed_details(
  Arn = "string"
)

Details

The service last accessed data includes<U+00C2><U+00A0>all<U+00C2><U+00A0>attempts to access an AWS API, not just the successful ones. This includes all attempts that were made using the AWS Management Console, the AWS API through any of the SDKs, or any of the command line tools. An unexpected entry in the service last accessed data does not mean that your account has been compromised, because the request might have been denied. Refer to your CloudTrail logs as the authoritative source for information about all API calls and whether they were successful or denied access. For more information, see<U+00C2><U+00A0>Logging IAM Events with CloudTrail in the IAM User Guide.

The GenerateServiceLastAccessedDetails operation returns a JobId. Use this parameter in the following operations to retrieve the following details from your report:

  • GetServiceLastAccessedDetails -- Use this operation for users, groups, roles, or policies to list every AWS service that the resource could access using permissions policies. For each service, the response includes information about the most recent access attempt.

  • GetServiceLastAccessedDetailsWithEntities -- Use this operation for groups and policies to list information about the associated entities (users or roles) that attempted to access a specific AWS service.

To check the status of the GenerateServiceLastAccessedDetails request, use the JobId parameter in the same operations and test the JobStatus response parameter.

For additional information about the permissions policies that allow an identity (user, group, or role) to access specific services, use the ListPoliciesGrantingServiceAccess operation.

Service last accessed data does not use other policy types when determining whether a resource could access a service. These other policy types include resource-based policies, access control lists, AWS Organizations policies, IAM permissions boundaries, and AWS STS assume role policies. It only applies permissions policy logic. For more about the evaluation of policy types, see Evaluating Policies in the IAM User Guide.

For more information about service last accessed data, see Reducing Policy Scope by Viewing User Activity in the IAM User Guide.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
# The following operation generates a report for the policy:
# ExamplePolicy1
# }
# NOT RUN {
svc$generate_service_last_accessed_details(
  Arn = "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:policy/ExamplePolicy1"
)
# }
# NOT RUN {
# }
