IAM Root User

Identity and Access Management (IAM) root User

Resource Type
AWS.IAM.RootUser
Resource ID Format
For IAM root users, the resource ID is the ARN.
arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root
Background
This resource represents a snapshot for an AWS root user account. This is largely similar to the AWS.IAM.User resource, but with a few added fields. Being a separate resource type also simplifies and optimizes writing policies which apply only to the root account, a common pattern.
