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 user. By using this data source, you can reference IAM user properties without having to hard code ARNs or unique IDs as input.

    Example Usage

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

const example = aws.iam.getUser({
    userName: "an_example_user_name",
});

    import pulumi
import pulumi_aws as aws

example = aws.iam.get_user(user_name="an_example_user_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.LookupUser(ctx, &iam.LookupUserArgs{
			UserName: "an_example_user_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.GetUser.Invoke(new()
    {
        UserName = "an_example_user_name",
    });

});

    Using getUser

    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 getUser(args: GetUserArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetUserResult>
function getUserOutput(args: GetUserOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetUserResult>
    def get_user(tags: Optional[Mapping[str, str]] = None,
             user_name: Optional[str] = None,
             opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetUserResult
def get_user_output(tags: Optional[pulumi.Input[Mapping[str, pulumi.Input[str]]]] = None,
             user_name: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
             opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetUserResult]
    func LookupUser(ctx *Context, args *LookupUserArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*LookupUserResult, error)
func LookupUserOutput(ctx *Context, args *LookupUserOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) LookupUserResultOutput

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

    public static class GetUser 
{
    public static Task<GetUserResult> InvokeAsync(GetUserArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
    public static Output<GetUserResult> Invoke(GetUserInvokeArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
}
    public static CompletableFuture<GetUserResult> getUser(GetUserArgs args, InvokeOptions options)
