AWS plugin API call efficiency for retrieving IAM details inquiry

Good afternoon all. Just curious if the AWS plugin leverages this API to retrieve users, groups, roles, and policies?

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/APIReference/API_GetAccountAuthorizationDetails.html

I’m looking to minimize the number of API calls for my organization where possible. I’ve used this call in the past for a homebrew script that I wrote based on feedback from AWS. It contains everything that would be required across the IAM tables.

Hi @mutual-krill,

In the upcoming release (v23.0.0), there is a new table called aws_iam_account_authorization_details that will have all of that information.

Ah, perfect! Thanks a bunch! That’ll be a great enhancement.
