|
|
The Infisical AWS IAM dynamic secret allows you to generate AWS IAM Users on demand based on configured AWS policy.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisite
|
|
|
|
Infisical needs an initial AWS IAM user with the required permissions to create sub IAM users. This IAM user will be responsible for managing the lifecycle of new IAM users.
|
|
|
|
<Accordion title="Managing AWS IAM User minimum permission policy">
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"Version": "2012-10-17",
|
|
"Statement": [
|
|
{
|
|
"Effect": "Allow",
|
|
"Action": [
|
|
"iam:AttachUserPolicy",
|
|
"iam:CreateAccessKey",
|
|
"iam:CreateUser",
|
|
"iam:DeleteAccessKey",
|
|
"iam:DeleteUser",
|
|
"iam:DeleteUserPolicy",
|
|
"iam:DetachUserPolicy",
|
|
"iam:GetUser",
|
|
"iam:ListAccessKeys",
|
|
"iam:ListAttachedUserPolicies",
|
|
"iam:ListGroupsForUser",
|
|
"iam:ListUserPolicies",
|
|
"iam:PutUserPolicy",
|
|
"iam:AddUserToGroup",
|
|
"iam:RemoveUserFromGroup"
|
|
],
|
|
"Resource": ["*"]
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To minimize managing user access you can attach a resource in format
|
|
|
|
> arn:aws:iam::\<account-id\>:user/\<aws-scope-path\>
|
|
|
|
Replace **\<account id\>** with your AWS account id and **\<aws-scope-path\>** with a path to minimize managing user access.

<Step title="Generate dynamic secrets">
|
|
Once you've successfully configured the dynamic secret, you're ready to generate on-demand credentials.
|
|
To do this, simply click on the 'Generate' button which appears when hovering over the dynamic secret item.
|
|
Alternatively, you can initiate the creation of a new lease by selecting 'New Lease' from the dynamic secret lease list section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When generating these secrets, it's important to specify a Time-to-Live (TTL) duration. This will dictate how long the credentials are valid for.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<Tip>
|
|
Ensure that the TTL for the lease fall within the maximum TTL defined when configuring the dynamic secret in step 4.
|
|
</Tip>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you click the `Submit` button, a new secret lease will be generated and the credentials for it will be shown to you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</Step>
|
|
</Steps>
|
|
|
|
## Audit or Revoke Leases
|
|
Once you have created one or more leases, you will be able to access them by clicking on the respective dynamic secret item on the dashboard.
|
|
This will allow you see the lease details and delete the lease ahead of its expiration time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Renew Leases
|
|
To extend the life of the generated dynamic secret lease past its initial time to live, simply click on the **Renew** as illustrated below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<Warning>
|
|
Lease renewals cannot exceed the maximum TTL set when configuring the dynamic secret
|
|
</Warning>
