find-iam-user-by-key

Overview

This tool helps to find a user name by provided aws key.

Description

Key Features of this tool:

• Simple. Just bash scrips
• Use it to search in multiple accounts at the same time! You need to provide profiles in the configuration file of this tool, see .profiles.example configuration file
• Really fast!!! (Because of local cache)

There are some solutions online (like this one) which can do similar things, but they don't fit with the features above.

populate_iam_users

You need to run this script first. This script builds a local cache for you. Obviously, this script takes some time to execute.

Output example:

$ ./populate_iam_users
Building local cache of all IAM users...
- Profile: default
- Profile: qubole
- Profile: machinelearning
done

find_user_by_key

This script reads local cache and performs searching for a specific user which owns provided key.

Output example:

$ ./find_user_by_key BENEEP2THOOLAI8OOKOH
./profile_cache/default:ACCESSKEYMETADATA	BENEEP2THOOLAI8OOKOH	2014-09-11T23:22:53Z	Active	john.doe

Requirements

• awscli should be installed $ pip install awscli
• ~/.aws/config should be configured

Setup

There're 2 options you can follow:

Create a config file (See information inside the file for more details)

$ cp .profiles.example .profiles
$ chmod 600 .profiles

Other option is to define environment variable AWS_PROFILES instead of using config .profiles . FYI, don't confuse environment variables AWS_PROFILES with AWS_PROFILE that related to aws cli.
