# iam-role — IAM role

> **Module kind:** primitive  |  **Version:** 1.0.0

A single IAM role with an assume-role policy and optional managed
policy attachments. Used as the ECS task execution role.

## Resources

| Resource | Type | Purpose |
|----------|------|---------|
| role | `aws_iam_role` | The IAM role with assume-role policy |

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `role_name` | string | yes | — | The IAM role name |
| `assume_role_policy` | string | yes | — | Assume-role policy document (JSON string) |
| `managed_policies` | string | no | — | Comma-separated list of managed policy ARNs to attach |
| `region` | string | yes | — | AWS region the role is created in |

## Outputs

| Name | Type | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `role_arn` | arn | The IAM role ARN |
| `role_id` | string | The IAM role id |

## Usage

```json
{
  "id": "roles",
  "type": "aws:iam:role",
  "module": "iam-role@1.0.0",
  "inputs": {
    "role_name": "acdl-microservice-exec",
    "assume_role_policy": "{\"Version\":\"2012-10-17\",\"Statement\":[{\"Effect\":\"Allow\",\"Principal\":{\"Service\":\"ecs-tasks.amazonaws.com\"},\"Action\":\"sts:AssumeRole\"}]}",
    "managed_policies": "arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/service-role/AmazonECSTaskExecutionRolePolicy",
    "region": "us-east-1"
  }
}
```

The `assume_role_policy` is a JSON string — the adapter jsonencodes it
into the Terraform `assume_role_policy` argument. The
`managed_policies` input is a comma-separated list of ARNs, emitted as
`managed_policy_arns = [...]`.

## Compliance extension points

- **Permissions boundary** — add `permissions_boundary` to enforce least-privilege guardrails (SOC2 CC6.1, SOX ITGC, DORA ICT access control).
- **Inline policy** — add `aws_iam_role_policy` for fine-grained least-privilege instead of broad managed policies (SOC2 CC6.1, HIPAA §164.308(a)(4)).
- **MFA conditions** — add `condition` blocks requiring MFA for assume-role (SOC2 CC6.1, HIPAA §164.312(d)).
- **Source IP / region conditions** — add `aws:SourceIp` / `aws:RequestedRegion` conditions for data residency enforcement (GDPR Art.44-49, DORA ICT third-party risk).
- **Access Analyzer** — add `aws_accessanalyzer_analyzer` to verify least-privilege (SOC2 CC6.1, GDPR Art.32).
- **Role separation** — add a separate task role vs. execution role (SOC2 CC6.3 segregation of duties).

Validated example contracts are in [`examples/`](examples/). The platform-test
pipeline validates them against `schemas/contract.schema.json`.

### Simple

A minimal deployment:

[`examples/simple.yaml`](examples/simple.yaml)
```yaml
uses: acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.6
module: iam-role
environment: dev
inputs:
  name: my-task-role
  region: us-east-1
```

### Complex

A production deployment with optional inputs:

[`examples/complex.yaml`](examples/complex.yaml)
```yaml
# Complex IAM role with managed policies
uses: acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.6
module: iam-role
environment: dev
inputs:
  name: my-production-task-role
  region: us-east-1
```
