About UpdateRole

Updates the description or maximum session duration setting of a role.

Method Signature

IMPORTING

Required arguments:

iv_rolename TYPE /AWS1/IAMROLENAMETYPE /AWS1/IAMROLENAMETYPE

The name of the role that you want to modify.

Optional arguments:

iv_description TYPE /AWS1/IAMROLEDESCRIPTIONTYPE /AWS1/IAMROLEDESCRIPTIONTYPE

The new description that you want to apply to the specified role.

iv_maxsessionduration TYPE /AWS1/IAMROLEMAXSESSIONDURTYPE /AWS1/IAMROLEMAXSESSIONDURTYPE

The maximum session duration (in seconds) that you want to set for the specified role. If you do not specify a value for this setting, the default value of one hour is applied. This setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours.

Anyone who assumes the role from the CLI or API can use the DurationSeconds API parameter or the duration-seconds CLI parameter to request a longer session. The MaxSessionDuration setting determines the maximum duration that can be requested using the DurationSeconds parameter. If users don't specify a value for the DurationSeconds parameter, their security credentials are valid for one hour by default. This applies when you use the AssumeRole API operations or the assume-role CLI operations but does not apply when you use those operations to create a console URL. For more information, see Using IAM roles in the IAM User Guide.

IAM role credentials provided by Amazon EC2 instances assigned to the role are not subject to the specified maximum session duration.

Syntax Example

This is an example of the syntax for calling the method. It includes every possible argument and initializes every possible value. The data provided is not necessarily semantically accurate (for example the value "string" may be provided for something that is intended to be an instance ID, or in some cases two arguments may be mutually exclusive). The syntax shows the ABAP syntax for creating the various data structures.

DATA(lo_result) = lo_client->/aws1/if_iam~updaterole(
  iv_description = |string|
  iv_maxsessionduration = 123
  iv_rolename = |string|
).

This is an example of reading all possible response values

lo_result = lo_result.
IF lo_result IS NOT INITIAL.
ENDIF.
