Background

An IAM role is an IAM identity that you can create in your account that has specific permissions. AWS Users and services can then assume the role in order to gain those permissions. An IAM role is similar to an IAM user, in that it is an AWS identity with permission policies that determine what the identity can and cannot do in AWS.

MaxSessionDuration	Int	The maximum session duration (in seconds) for the specified role.

PermissionsBoundary	Map	The ARN and Type of the policy used to set the permissions boundary for the role.
