Key Functions

Configuration

The LoadAWSConfig function in config/config.go loads the AWS SDK configuration with the specified region.

IAM Services

The functions in services/iam_service.go interact with the AWS IAM service to list users, their attached policies, and associated groups:

• ListUsers: Lists all IAM users.
• ListAttachedUserPolicies: Lists the policies attached to a specific user.
• ListGroupsForUser: Lists the groups to which a specific user belongs.
• ListAttachedGroupPolicies: Lists the policies attached to a specific group.

Adding Other AWS Services

To add functions for other AWS services, create a new file in the services directory, e.g., other_service.go, and implement the desired functions. Update main.go to call these new functions as needed.
