describe-permissions¶

Description¶

Describes the permissions for a specified stack.

Required Permissions : To use this action, an IAM user must have a Manage permissions level for the stack, or an attached policy that explicitly grants permissions. For more information on user permissions, see Managing User Permissions .

Synopsis¶

  describe-permissions
[--iam-user-arn <value>]
[--stack-id <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--iam-user-arn (string)

The user’s IAM ARN. This can also be a federated user’s ARN. For more information about IAM ARNs, see Using Identifiers .

--stack-id (string)

The stack ID.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To obtain a user’s per-stack AWS OpsWorks permission level

The following example shows how to to obtain an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user’s permission level on a specified stack.

aws opsworks --region us-east-1 describe-permissions --iam-user-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/cli-user-test --stack-id d72553d4-8727-448c-9b00-f024f0ba1b06

Output:

{
  "Permissions": [
    {
      "StackId": "d72553d4-8727-448c-9b00-f024f0ba1b06",
      "IamUserArn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/cli-user-test",
      "Level": "manage",
      "AllowSudo": true,
      "AllowSsh": true
    }
  ]
}

More Information

For more information, see Granting Per-Stack Permissions Levels in the AWS OpsWorks User Guide.

Output¶

Permissions -> (list)

An array of Permission objects that describe the stack permissions.

If the request object contains only a stack ID, the array contains a Permission object with permissions for each of the stack IAM ARNs.

If the request object contains only an IAM ARN, the array contains a Permission object with permissions for each of the user’s stack IDs.

If the request contains a stack ID and an IAM ARN, the array contains a single Permission object with permissions for the specified stack and IAM ARN.

(structure)

Describes stack or user permissions.

StackId -> (string)

A stack ID.

IamUserArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role. For more information about IAM ARNs, see Using Identifiers .

AllowSsh -> (boolean)

Whether the user can use SSH.

AllowSudo -> (boolean)

Whether the user can use sudo .

Level -> (string)

The user’s permission level, which must be the following:

deny

show

deploy

manage

iam_only

For more information on the permissions associated with these levels, see Managing User Permissions
