AssumeRolePolicyDocument | System.String |
Gets and sets the property AssumeRolePolicyDocument. The trust relationship policy document that grants an entity permission to assume the role. In IAM, you must provide a JSON policy that has been converted to a string. However, for CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. CloudFormation always converts a YAML policy to JSON format before submitting it to IAM. The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:
Upon success, the response includes the same trust policy in JSON format. |

Description | System.String |
Gets and sets the property Description. A description of the role. |
![]() |
MaxSessionDuration | System.Int32 |
Gets and sets the property MaxSessionDuration. The maximum session duration (in seconds) that you want to set for the specified role. If you do not specify a value for this setting, the default value of one hour is applied. This setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours.
Anyone who assumes the role from the CLI or API can use the |
![]() |
Path | System.String |
Gets and sets the property Path. The path to the role. For more information about paths, see IAM Identifiers in the IAM User Guide. This parameter is optional. If it is not included, it defaults to a slash (/).
This parameter allows (through its regex
pattern) a string of characters consisting of either a forward slash (/) by itself
or a string that must begin and end with forward slashes. In addition, it can contain
any ASCII character from the ! ( |
![]() |
PermissionsBoundary | System.String |
Gets and sets the property PermissionsBoundary. The ARN of the managed policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the role. A permissions boundary policy defines the maximum permissions that identity-based policies can grant to an entity, but does not grant permissions. Permissions boundaries do not define the maximum permissions that a resource-based policy can grant to an entity. To learn more, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the IAM User Guide. For more information about policy types, see Policy types in the IAM User Guide. |
![]() |
RoleName | System.String |
Gets and sets the property RoleName. The name of the role to create. IAM user, group, role, and policy names must be unique within the account. Names are not distinguished by case. For example, you cannot create resources named both "MyResource" and "myresource". This parameter allows (through its regex pattern) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@- |
![]() |
Tags | System.Collections.Generic.List<Amazon.IdentityManagement.Model.Tag> |
Gets and sets the property Tags. A list of tags that you want to attach to the new role. Each tag consists of a key name and an associated value. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide. If any one of the tags is invalid or if you exceed the allowed maximum number of tags, then the entire request fails and the resource is not created. |
The following command creates a role named Test-Role and attaches a trust policy that you must convert from JSON to a string. Upon success, the response includes the same policy as a URL-encoded JSON string.
var client = new AmazonIdentityManagementServiceClient(); var response = client.CreateRole(new CreateRoleRequest { AssumeRolePolicyDocument = "<Stringified-JSON>", Path = "/", RoleName = "Test-Role" }); Role role = response.Role;
