Correct workflow for IAM password expiry email notifications

1

Hello all!

Is there currently a supported way of providing users with password expiry notifications via email? I've started putting something together using Lambda and the IAM credentials report, but that seems like a feature that might already exist - what would be the correct way to implement this?

Hello danielpodwysocki,

You seem to be on the right track with putting something together using Lambda and IAM credentials report, although IAM Management console does include a 15 day warning for password expiration on IAM user accounts[1], I think this is not sufficient for what you are trying to accomplish. This is a third party link that will provide some more detail on creating a script that would allow for you to utilize Lambda to create an email notification workflow[2].

Let me know if you have any other questions.
