This component is responsible for provisioning user and system IAM roles outside the identity account. It sets them up to be assumed from the "team" roles defined in the identity account by the aws-teams component and/or the AWS SSO permission sets defined in the aws-sso component, and/or be directly accessible via SAML logins.

Privileges are Granted to Users via IAM Policies

Each role is granted permissions by attaching a list of IAM policies to the IAM role via its role_policy_arns list. You can configure AWS managed policies by entering the ARNs of the policies directly into the list, or you can create a custom policy as follows:

Give the policy a name, e.g. eks-admin. We will use NAME as a placeholder for the name in the instructions below.
Create a file in the aws-teams directory with the name policy-NAME.tf.

In that file, create a policy as follows:

data "aws_iam_policy_document" "NAME" {
  # Define the policy here
}

resource "aws_iam_policy" "NAME" {
  name   = format("%s-NAME", module.this.id)
  policy = data.aws_iam_policy_document.NAME.json

  tags = module.this.tags
}

Create a file named additional-policy-map_override.tf in the aws-team-roles directory (if it does not already exist). This is a terraform override file, meaning its contents will be merged with the main terraform file, and any locals defined in it will override locals defined in other files. Having your code in this separate override file makes it possible for the component to provide a placeholder local variable so that it works without customization, while allowing you to customize the component and still update it without losing your customizations.
In that file, redefine the local variable overridable_additional_custom_policy_map map as follows:
```
locals {
  overridable_additional_custom_policy_map = {
    NAME = aws_iam_policy.NAME.arn
  }
}
```
If you have multiple custom policies, add each one to the map in the form NAME = aws_iam_policy.NAME.arn.
With that done, you can now attach that policy by adding the name to the role_policy_arns list. For example:
```
role_policy_arns:
  - "arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/job-function/ViewOnlyAccess"
  - "NAME"
```

Usage

Stack Level: Global

Deployment: Must be deployed by SuperAdmin using atmos CLI

Here's an example snippet for how to use this component. This specific usage is an example only, and not intended for production use. You set the defaults in one YAML file, and import that file into each account's Global stack (except for the identity account itself). If desired, you can make account-specific changes by overriding settings, for example

Disable entire roles in the account by setting enabled: false
Limit who can access the role by setting a different value for trusted_teams
Change the permissions available to that role by overriding the role_policy_arns (not recommended, limit access to the role or create a different role with the desired set of permissions instead).

Note that when overriding, maps are deep merged, but lists are replaced. This means, for example, that your setting of trusted_primary_roles in an override completely replaces the default, it does not add to it, so if you want to allow an extra "primary" role to have access to the role, you have to include all the default "primary" roles in the list, too, or they will lose access.
