AWS v6.71.0 published on Friday, Mar 7, 2025 by Pulumi
pulumi/pulumi-aws

    This data source can be used to fetch information about a specific IAM role. By using this data source, you can reference IAM role properties without having to hard code ARNs as input.

    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

const example = aws.iam.getRole({
    name: "an_example_role_name",
});

    import pulumi
import pulumi_aws as aws

example = aws.iam.get_role(name="an_example_role_name")

    package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/sdk/v6/go/aws/iam"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		_, err := iam.LookupRole(ctx, &iam.LookupRoleArgs{
			Name: "an_example_role_name",
		}, nil)
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		return nil
	})
}

    using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Pulumi;
using Aws = Pulumi.Aws;

return await Deployment.RunAsync(() => 
{
    var example = Aws.Iam.GetRole.Invoke(new()
    {
        Name = "an_example_role_name",
    });

});

    Using getRole

    Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

    function getRole(args: GetRoleArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetRoleResult>
function getRoleOutput(args: GetRoleOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetRoleResult>
    def get_role(name: Optional[str] = None,
             tags: Optional[Mapping[str, str]] = None,
             opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetRoleResult
def get_role_output(name: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
             tags: Optional[pulumi.Input[Mapping[str, pulumi.Input[str]]]] = None,
             opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetRoleResult]
    func LookupRole(ctx *Context, args *LookupRoleArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*LookupRoleResult, error)
func LookupRoleOutput(ctx *Context, args *LookupRoleOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) LookupRoleResultOutput

    > Note: This function is named LookupRole in the Go SDK.

    public static class GetRole 
{
    public static Task<GetRoleResult> InvokeAsync(GetRoleArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
    public static Output<GetRoleResult> Invoke(GetRoleInvokeArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
}
    public static CompletableFuture<GetRoleResult> getRole(GetRoleArgs args, InvokeOptions options)
public static Output<GetRoleResult> getRole(GetRoleArgs args, InvokeOptions options)
