This workflow automates the procedure to delete or detach items from an user before deleting an IAM User Account.

Updated over 6 months ago

This workflow template is designed to streamline the process of securely removing an IAM user account from AWS. It encompasses a comprehensive series of actions including the deletion or detachment of the user's password, access keys, signing certificate, SSH public keys, and service-specific credentials. Additionally, it deactivates and removes the user's MFA device, detaches managed policies, removes the user from any groups, and ultimately, deletes the user account. The automation ensures a thorough clean-up of all associated credentials and permissions, adhering to best practices in identity and access management.
