An IAM user is an entity that you create in AWS to represent the person or service that uses it to interact with AWS. A user in AWS consists of a name and credentials.

Create an IAM user

Imports

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Aws\Exception\AwsException;
use Aws\Iam\IamClient;

$client = new IamClient([
    'profile' => 'default',
    'region' => 'us-west-2',
    'version' => '2010-05-08'
]);

try {
    $result = $client->createUser(array(
        // UserName is required
        'UserName' => 'string',
    ));
    var_dump($result);
} catch (AwsException $e) {
    // output error message if fails
    error_log($e->getMessage());
}

List IAM users

Imports

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Aws\Exception\AwsException;
use Aws\Iam\IamClient;

Sample Code

$client = new IamClient([
    'profile' => 'default',
    'region' => 'us-west-2',
    'version' => '2010-05-08'
]);

try {
    $result = $client->listUsers();
    var_dump($result);
} catch (AwsException $e) {
    // output error message if fails
    error_log($e->getMessage());
}

Update an IAM user

Imports

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Aws\Exception\AwsException;
use Aws\Iam\IamClient;

Sample Code

$client = new IamClient([
    'profile' => 'default',
    'region' => 'us-west-2',
    'version' => '2010-05-08'
]);

try {
    $result = $client->updateUser([
        // UserName is required
        'UserName' => 'string1',
        'NewUserName' => 'string'
    ]);
    var_dump($result);
} catch (AwsException $e) {
    // output error message if fails
    error_log($e->getMessage());
}

Get information about an IAM user

Imports

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Aws\Exception\AwsException;
use Aws\Iam\IamClient;

Sample Code

$client = new IamClient([
    'profile' => 'default',
    'region' => 'us-west-2',
    'version' => '2010-05-08'
]);

try {
    $result = $client->getUser([
        'UserName' => 'string',
    ]);
    var_dump($result);
} catch (AwsException $e) {
    // output error message if fails
    error_log($e->getMessage());
}

Delete an IAM user

Imports

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Aws\Exception\AwsException;
use Aws\Iam\IamClient;

Sample Code

$client = new IamClient([
    'profile' => 'default',
    'region' => 'us-west-2',
    'version' => '2010-05-08'
]);

try {
    $result = $client->deleteUser([
        // UserName is required
        'UserName' => 'string'
    ]);
    var_dump($result);
} catch (AwsException $e) {
