Managing IAM Users
==================

.. meta::
   :description: Create, list, update, or retrieve info about IAM users.
   :keywords: AWS Identity and Access Management, AWS SDK for PHP examples

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.

The examples below show how to:

* Create a new IAM user using `CreateUser <http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/api/api-iam-2010-05-08.html#createuser>`_.
* List IAM users using `ListUsers <http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/api/api-iam-2010-05-08.html#listusers>`_.
* Update an IAM user using `UpdateUser <http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/api/api-iam-2010-05-08.html#updateuser>`_.
* Retrieve info about an IAM user using `GetUser <http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/api/api-iam-2010-05-08.html#getuser>`_.
* Delete an IAM user using `DeleteUser <http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/api/api-iam-2010-05-08.html#deleteuser>`_.

All the example code for the AWS SDK for PHP is available `here on GitHub <https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/master/php/example_code>`_.

Credentials
-----------

Before running the example code, configure your AWS credentials, as described in :doc:`/guide/credentials`.

Create an IAM User
------------------

.. code-block:: php

    require 'vendor/autoload.php';
    use Aws\Iam\IamClient;
    use Aws\Exception\AwsException;

    $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

.. code-block:: php

    require 'vendor/autoload.php';
    use Aws\Iam\IamClient;

    $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

.. code-block:: php

    require 'vendor/autoload.php';
    use Aws\Iam\IamClient;
    use Aws\Exception\AwsException;

        'profile' => 'default',
        'region' => 'us-west-2',
        'version' => '2010-05-08'
    ]);
    try {
        $result = $client->updateUser(array(
            // UserName is required
            'UserName' => 'string1',
            'NewUserName' => 'string'
        ));
        var_dump($result);
    } catch (AwsException $e) {
        // output error message if fails
        error_log($e->getMessage());
    }

Get Info about an IAM User
--------------------------

.. code-block:: php

    require 'vendor/autoload.php';
    use Aws\Iam\IamClient;
    use Aws\Exception\AwsException;

    $client = new IamClient([
        'profile' => 'default',
        'region' => 'us-west-2',
        'version' => '2010-05-08'
    ]);
    try {
        $result = $client->getUser(array(
            'UserName' => 'string',
        ));
        var_dump($result);

        // output error message if fails
        error_log($e->getMessage());
    }
