# 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.

## Fields

| Field              | Type  | Description                                                                                        |
| ------------------ | ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `CredentialReport` | `Map` | An AWS account credential report for this user. Implemented as a mapping of string keys to values. |
| `VirtualMFADevice` | `Map` | Contains the `EnableDate` and `SerialNumber` of the configured virtual MFA device, if one exists.  |
