groups

Used to retrieve a list of groups in a region or create a groups resource, use group to operate on an individual resource.

Overview

Name	`groups`
Type	Resource
Description	Creates a new group.<br/> For information about the number of groups you can create, see [Limitations on Entities](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/LimitationsOnEntities.html) in the User Guide.
Id	`aws.iam.groups`

Name	Datatype	Description
`group_name`	`string`	The name of the group to create. Do not include the path in this value.<br/> The group name must be unique within the account. Group names are not distinguished by case. For example, you cannot create groups named both "ADMINS" and "admins". If you don't specify a name, CFN generates a unique physical ID and uses that ID for the group name.<br/> If you specify a name, you cannot perform updates that require replacement of this resource. You can perform updates that require no or some interruption. If you must replace the resource, specify a new name.<br/> If you specify a name, you must specify the ``CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM`` value to acknowledge your template's capabilities. For more information, see [Acknowledging Resources in Templates](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-iam-template.html#using-iam-capabilities).<br/> Naming an IAM resource can cause an unrecoverable error if you reuse the same template in multiple Regions. To prevent this, we recommend using ``Fn::Join`` and ``AWS::Region`` to create a Region-specific name, as in the following example: ``{"Fn::Join": ["", [{"Ref": "AWS::Region"}, {"Ref": "MyResourceName"}]]}``.
`region`	`string`	AWS region.

Name	Accessible by	Required Params
`create_resource`	`INSERT`	`data__DesiredState, region`
`list_resource`	`SELECT`	`region`

SELECT
region,
group_name
FROM aws.iam.groups

To operate on the groups resource, the following permissions are required:

iam:CreateGroup,
iam:PutGroupPolicy,
iam:AttachGroupPolicy,
iam:GetGroupPolicy,
iam:GetGroup

iam:ListGroups
