Container for the parameters to the SimulatePrincipalPolicy operation. Simulate how a set of IAM policies attached to an IAM entity works with a list of API operations and Amazon Web Services resources to determine the policies' effective permissions. The entity can be an IAM user, group, or role. If you specify a user, then the simulation also includes all of the policies that are attached to groups that the user belongs to. You can simulate resources that don't exist in your account.
You can optionally include a list of one or more additional policies specified as strings to include in the simulation. If you want to simulate only policies specified as strings, use SimulateCustomPolicy instead.
You can also optionally include one resource-based policy to be evaluated with each of the resources included in the simulation for IAM users only.
The simulation does not perform the API operations; it only checks the authorization to determine if the simulated policies allow or deny the operations.
Note: This operation discloses information about the permissions granted to other users. If you do not want users to see other user's permissions, then consider allowing them to use SimulateCustomPolicy instead.
Context keys are variables maintained by Amazon Web Services and its services that
provide details about the context of an API query request. You can use the Condition
element of an IAM policy to evaluate context keys. To get the list of context keys
that the policies require for correct simulation, use GetContextKeysForPrincipalPolicy.
If the output is long, you can use the MaxItems
and Marker
parameters
to paginate the results.
The IAM policy simulator evaluates statements in the identity-based policy and the inputs that you provide during simulation. The policy simulator results can differ from your live Amazon Web Services environment. We recommend that you check your policies against your live Amazon Web Services environment after testing using the policy simulator to confirm that you have the desired results. For more information about using the policy simulator, see Testing IAM policies with the IAM policy simulator in the IAM User Guide.

The SimulatePrincipalPolicyRequest type exposes the following members
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
SimulatePrincipalPolicyRequest() |
Name | Type | Description | |
---|---|---|---|
ActionNames | System.Collections.Generic.List<System.String> |
Gets and sets the property ActionNames.
A list of names of API operations to evaluate in the simulation. Each operation is
evaluated for each resource. Each operation must include the service identifier, such
as |
|
CallerArn | System.String |
Gets and sets the property CallerArn.
The ARN of the IAM user that you want to specify as the simulated caller of the API
operations. If you do not specify a You can specify only the ARN of an IAM user. You cannot specify the ARN of an assumed role, federated user, or a service principal.
For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference. |
|
ContextEntries | System.Collections.Generic.List<Amazon.IdentityManagement.Model.ContextEntry> |
Gets and sets the property ContextEntries. A list of context keys and corresponding values for the simulation to use. Whenever a context key is evaluated in one of the simulated IAM permissions policies, the corresponding value is supplied. |
|
Marker | System.String |
Gets and sets the property Marker.
Use this parameter only when paginating results and only after you receive a response
indicating that the results are truncated. Set it to the value of the |
|
MaxItems | System.Int32 |
Gets and sets the property MaxItems.
Use this only when paginating results to indicate the maximum number of items you
want in the response. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, the
If you do not include this parameter, the number of items defaults to 100. Note that
IAM might return fewer results, even when there are more results available. In that
case, the |
|
PermissionsBoundaryPolicyInputList | System.Collections.Generic.List<System.String> |
Gets and sets the property PermissionsBoundaryPolicyInputList. The IAM permissions boundary policy to simulate. The permissions boundary sets the maximum permissions that the entity can have. You can input only one permissions boundary when you pass a policy to this operation. An IAM entity can only have one permissions boundary in effect at a time. For example, if a permissions boundary is attached to an entity and you pass in a different permissions boundary policy using this parameter, then the new permissions boundary policy is used for the simulation. For more information about permissions boundaries, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the IAM User Guide. The policy input is specified as a string containing the complete, valid JSON text of a permissions boundary policy. The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas. The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:
|
|
PolicyInputList | System.Collections.Generic.List<System.String> |
Gets and sets the property PolicyInputList. An optional list of additional policy documents to include in the simulation. Each document is specified as a string containing the complete, valid JSON text of an IAM policy. The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:
|
|
PolicySourceArn | System.String |
Gets and sets the property PolicySourceArn. The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a user, group, or role whose policies you want to include in the simulation. If you specify a user, group, or role, the simulation includes all policies that are associated with that entity. If you specify a user, the simulation also includes all policies that are attached to any groups the user belongs to. The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas. For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference. |
|
ResourceArns | System.Collections.Generic.List<System.String> |
Gets and sets the property ResourceArns.
A list of ARNs of Amazon Web Services resources to include in the simulation. If this
parameter is not provided, then the value defaults to
The simulation does not automatically retrieve policies for the specified resources.
If you want to include a resource policy in the simulation, then you must include
the policy as a string in the For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference. Simulation of resource-based policies isn't supported for IAM roles. |
|
ResourceHandlingOption | System.String |
Gets and sets the property ResourceHandlingOption. Specifies the type of simulation to run. Different API operations that support resource-based policies require different combinations of resources. By specifying the type of simulation to run, you enable the policy simulator to enforce the presence of the required resources to ensure reliable simulation results. If your simulation does not match one of the following scenarios, then you can omit this parameter. The following list shows each of the supported scenario values and the resources that you must define to run the simulation. Each of the Amazon EC2 scenarios requires that you specify instance, image, and security group resources. If your scenario includes an EBS volume, then you must specify that volume as a resource. If the Amazon EC2 scenario includes VPC, then you must supply the network interface resource. If it includes an IP subnet, then you must specify the subnet resource. For more information on the Amazon EC2 scenario options, see Supported platforms in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

ResourceOwner | System.String |
Gets and sets the property ResourceOwner.
An Amazon Web Services account ID that specifies the owner of any simulated resource
that does not identify its owner in the resource ARN. Examples of resource ARNs include
an S3 bucket or object. If |
|
ResourcePolicy | System.String |
Gets and sets the property ResourcePolicy. A resource-based policy to include in the simulation provided as a string. Each resource in the simulation is treated as if it had this policy attached. You can include only one resource-based policy in a simulation. The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas. The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:
