Improvado Agent

Connected to AWS IAM

Show me all IAM users with admin privileges created in the last 30 days.

Found 3 new admin users across your AWS accounts. Two were created by the DevOps team for CI/CD pipelines, one by Finance for audit access. The Finance user has no MFA enabled and hasn't been used in 18 days.

Flag that Finance user for review and send me a weekly report on unused admin accounts.

Done. Flagged user 'audit-finance-01' for security review. Scheduled weekly report on admin accounts with zero activity in 14+ days. You'll also get alerts if any new admin user is created without MFA.

Integration Details

Unified identity and access visibility

AWS IAM integration brings your access-control data into Improvado alongside the rest of your business and analytics sources. Join IAM roles and policy attachments against activity from other systems to see where privileges have accumulated, spot access keys that have gone unused for months, and keep a historical record of how permissions changed over time. Build dashboards that answer who has access to what, and since when, without exporting CSVs from the AWS console.

How it works

From connection to autonomous action in three steps

Connect

Connect AWS IAM through read-write API credentials with permissions for iam:ListUsers, iam:GetRole, iam:UpdateAssumeRolePolicy, and cloudtrail:LookupEvents. The agent authenticates via IAM user or role with programmatic access, pulling identity and access data across all linked AWS accounts in your organization.

Ask

Ask questions like 'Which service accounts have unused permissions?' or 'Show me all roles that can assume admin access' or 'Which users accessed S3 buckets outside business hours last week?'

Act

The agent modifies IAM policies to remove unused permissions, updates trust relationships on roles, enables MFA requirements, rotates access keys on a schedule, and revokes sessions for flagged users. It enforces least-privilege policies by comparing actual resource access against granted permissions.

Use Cases

AI Agent Access

Your agent doesn't just read IAM — it audits it.

Query users, roles, policies, and access keys, surface over-privileged principals, and track credential hygiene through Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client. Every query is logged, governed, and auditable.

Explore MCP →

Read

The agent reads IAM users, roles, groups, policies, permission boundaries, access keys, MFA device status, password policies, service control policies, and CloudTrail logs for authentication events. It pulls cross-account trust relationships, assume-role activity, and permission usage patterns across your AWS organization.

Write

The agent updates IAM policies to remove unused permissions, modifies trust relationships on roles, enables or enforces MFA on users, rotates access keys, deletes inactive credentials, attaches permission boundaries, and revokes active sessions. It applies service control policies and updates password requirements at the organization level.

Monitor

The agent monitors for new IAM users or roles with elevated privileges, access key age exceeding rotation policies, failed login attempts indicating brute force, cross-account access from unknown accounts, permission escalation attempts, and any IAM entity operating without MFA. It tracks unused permissions and flags over-privileged identities.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What data can Improvado extract from AWS IAM?

Improvado extracts your IAM users, groups, roles, policies, and access keys. Fields include user names and IDs, creation dates, password and key last-used timestamps, MFA enrollment, role trust policies and maximum session duration, policy attachment counts, and group membership. All records keep their original identifiers so you can join them with data from your other connected sources.

How does AWS IAM integration work with other connectors?

AWS IAM is a source in Improvado's ecosystem, feeding identity and access data into the same warehouse as your other connected platforms. Correlate IAM users with HR records to catch accounts belonging to departed employees, or match role and policy assignments against activity from your other business and security systems.

Can I schedule automatic AWS IAM data extraction?

Yes. Improvado syncs AWS IAM on a daily schedule, performing a full refresh so each run reflects the current state of your account rather than a partial snapshot. Adjust the schedule to match your access-review cadence.

Does this require special AWS IAM configuration?

Improvado connects using AWS access keys belonging to an IAM principal with read-only access to IAM. No agents or additional software need to be installed in your AWS account, and the connection never requests write permissions.

Where can I send data extracted from AWS IAM?

Data from AWS IAM flows to any destination in Improvado's ecosystem including BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Azure, Tableau, Power BI, and Looker. Send it to several destinations at once, or into an existing security and compliance reporting workflow.

How does AWS IAM connect with other platforms in Improvado?

AWS IAM data lands in Improvado's Common Data Model alongside 1,000+ business, analytics, and security sources. Your AI agent can cross-reference IAM users with directory and sign-in activity, match role assignments to organizational data, and flag access keys that have gone unused — all through natural language queries.
