Identity Access Management<\/h3>\n

IAM<\/a> is a service in AWS for security, it enables you to manage access to AWS services and resources in a very secure manner, with IAM you can create users and groups and you can allow these users to access a resource or deny them from doing something ……….\u00a0 \u00a0Wait a person with litter or more experience with AWS services knows this but How to enable access for a user on a specific date and time?<\/strong>\u00a0 , it can be done just by adding a condition to the policy that you are using to give permission\/access for\u00a0 creating a user\/role, In this blog let’s learn how to create a custom IAM policy which allows the permission at a specified time period and attach it to a user.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

below is the json syntax of a IAM policy which enables full access to all AWS services and resources.<\/p>\n

{\r\n    \"Version\": \"2012-10-17\",\r\n    \"Statement\": [\r\n        {\r\n            \"Effect\": \"Allow\",\r\n            \"Action\": \"*\",\r\n            \"Resource\": \"*\"\r\n        }\r\n    ]\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
you can make the above policy to be enabled on a specific date and time by just adding some conditions to it, below given syntax is an example of a condition, and a Policy created with below given conditions enables permissions from 1AM on 22-aug\/2022 to 06PM on 22-aug\/2022,<\/p>\n
\"Condition\": {\r\n                \"DateGreaterThan\": {\r\n                    \"aws:CurrentTime\": \"2022-08-22T01:00:00Z\"\r\n                },\r\n                \"DateLessThan\": {\r\n                    \"aws:CurrentTime\": \"2022-08-22T18:00:00Z\"\r\n                }\r\n            }\r\n<\/strong><\/pre>\n
below given Json syntax is of a policy which gives full administrative access on all the AWS resources in a specific date and time.<\/p>\n
{\r\n    \"Version\": \"2012-10-17\",\r\n    \"Statement\": [\r\n        {\r\n            \"Effect\": \"Allow\",\r\n            \"Action\": \"*\",\r\n            \"Resource\": \"*\",\r\n            \"Condition\": {\r\n                \"DateGreaterThan\": {\r\n                    \"aws:CurrentTime\": \"2022-08-22T00:00:00Z\"\r\n                },\r\n                \"DateLessThan\": {\r\n                    \"aws:CurrentTime\": \"2022-08-22T07:10:00Z\"\r\n                }\r\n            }<\/strong>\r\n        }\r\n    ]\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
Creating a Customer Managed IAM Policy<\/h3>\n
To create custom\/ user managed\u00a0 \u00a0IAM policy login to your AWS web console and go to\u00a0 Policies\u00a0<\/strong> under AWS Access Management<\/strong> in IAM\u00a0<\/strong>and click on create policy<\/strong><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
In step:1 click on JSON and give your syntax here\u00a0 and click on Next to gives tags to your policy in step:2.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
And in step:3 give a name and description(optional) to your policy , review the details and click on Create Policy.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Once the policy is created you can see it in your policies list and now you can use it to create users and roles.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Creating New IAM user From AWS\u00a0 Web Console<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Now Let’s create a new user with the custom policy we have created in last step, go to users under Access Management in IAM\u00a0 and click on Add users .<\/strong><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Next in step-1 give username and select access type based on your requirement and click on next to give permissions to the user.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
then in step-2 click on Attach existing policies directly\u00a0<\/strong>and select the policy that you have created, you can use Filter policy\u00a0<\/strong> to select customer managed policies\u00a0 and click on next to gives tags to your user .<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
In step:4 review all the details and click on create user\"\"<\/p>\n
Then finally in step 5 download the access credentials or copy Access key ID <\/strong>and Secret Access key<\/strong> to provide them to the user intended to use them.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
In this blog we have seen how to restrict a user to access the resources in a particular\u00a0 date and by creating a customer managed IAM policy.<\/p>\n
Please contact<\/a> our technical consultants if you have anything to be discussed related to cloud infrastructure<\/a> .<\/p>\n
