AWS CLI: List IAM Users

Managing AWS IAM users is essential for maintaining control and security in your cloud environment. The AWS CLI provides a simple command to list all users in your AWS account.

Basic Command

The aws iam list-users command returns details about all IAM users, such as user names, ARNs, and creation dates.

To display only specific information, use the --query option. For example, to retrieve the user name, ARN, and creation date, run:

aws iam list-users --query "Users[*].{Name:UserName,arn:Arn, CreateDate:CreateDate}"

This format is helpful for quickly reviewing user details without sifting through unnecessary data.
