2021/04/07 - Access Analyzer - 4 new api methods
Changes IAM Access Analyzer now analyzes your CloudTrail events to identify actions and services that have been used by an IAM entity (user or role) and generates an IAM policy that is based on that activity.
Lists all of the policy generations requested in the last seven days.

Request Syntax
client.list_policy_generations(
maxResults=123,
nextToken='string',
principalArn='string'
)
integer
The maximum number of results to return in the response.
string
A token used for pagination of results returned.
string
The ARN of the IAM entity (user or role) for which you are generating a policy. Use this with ListGeneratedPolicies to filter the results to only include results for a specific principal.

Response Structure
(dict) --
nextToken (string) --
A token used for pagination of results returned.
policyGenerations (list) --
A PolicyGeneration object that contains details about the generated policy.
(dict) --
Contains details about the policy generation status and properties.
completedOn (datetime) --
A timestamp of when the policy generation was completed.
jobId (string) --
The JobId that is returned by the StartPolicyGeneration operation. The JobId can be used with GetGeneratedPolicy to retrieve the generated policies or used with CancelPolicyGeneration to cancel the policy generation request.
principalArn (string) --
The ARN of the IAM entity (user or role) for which you are generating a policy.
startedOn (datetime) --
A timestamp of when the policy generation started.
status (string) --
The status of the policy generation request.

'accessRole': 'string',
'endTime': datetime(2015, 1, 1),

}
)
string
A unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. Idempotency ensures that an API request completes only once. With an idempotent request, if the original request completes successfully, the subsequent retries with the same client token return the result from the original successful request and they have no additional effect.
If you do not specify a client token, one is automatically generated by the AWS SDK.
This field is autopopulated if not provided.
dict
A CloudTrailDetails object that contains details about a Trail that you want to analyze to generate policies.
accessRole (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The ARN of the service role that Access Analyzer uses to access your CloudTrail trail and service last accessed information.
endTime (datetime) --
The end of the time range for which Access Analyzer reviews your CloudTrail events. Events with a timestamp after this time are not considered to generate a policy. If this is not included in the request, the default value is the current time.
startTime (datetime) -- [REQUIRED]
The start of the time range for which Access Analyzer reviews your CloudTrail events. Events with a timestamp before this time are not considered to generate a policy.
trails (list) -- [REQUIRED]
A Trail object that contains settings for a trail.
(dict) --
Contains details about the CloudTrail trail being analyzed to generate a policy.
allRegions (boolean) --
Possible values are true or false. If set to true, Access Analyzer retrieves CloudTrail data from all regions to analyze and generate a policy.
cloudTrailArn (string) -- [REQUIRED]
Specifies the ARN of the trail. The format of a trail ARN is arn:aws:cloudtrail:us-east-2:123456789012:trail/MyTrail.
regions (list) --
A list of regions to get CloudTrail data from and analyze to generate a policy.
(string) --
dict
[REQUIRED]
Contains the ARN of the IAM entity (user or role) for which you are generating a policy.
principalArn (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The ARN of the IAM entity (user or role) for which you are generating a policy.

(dict) --
jobId (string) --
The JobId that is returned by the StartPolicyGeneration operation. The JobId can be used with GetGeneratedPolicy to retrieve the generated policies or used with CancelPolicyGeneration to cancel the policy generation request.
Cancels the requested policy generation.

Request Syntax
client.cancel_policy_generation(
jobId='string'
)
string
[REQUIRED]
The JobId that is returned by the StartPolicyGeneration operation. The JobId can be used with GetGeneratedPolicy to retrieve the generated policies or used with CancelPolicyGeneration to cancel the policy generation request.

Request Syntax
client.get_generated_policy(
includeResourcePlaceholders=True|False,
includeServiceLevelTemplate=True|False,
jobId='string'
)
boolean
The level of detail that you want to generate. You can specify whether to generate policies with placeholders for resource ARNs for actions that support resource level granularity in policies.
For example, in the resource section of a policy, you can receive a placeholder such as "Resource":"arn:aws:s3:::${BucketName}" instead of "*".
boolean
The level of detail that you want to generate. You can specify whether to generate service-level policies.
Access Analyzer uses iam:servicelastaccessed to identify services that have been used recently to create this service-level template.
string
[REQUIRED]
The JobId that is returned by the StartPolicyGeneration operation. The JobId can be used with GetGeneratedPolicy to retrieve the generated policies or used with CancelPolicyGeneration to cancel the policy generation request.
