## What it does

The skill supports three modes: audit, greenfield design, and IdP migration. It inspects cloud platforms like AWS or GCP alongside identity providers such as Okta and Entra ID.

Under the hood, it inspects real configuration patterns. In AWS, it targets console users and permanent access keys. For GCP, it flags downloaded service account keys and broad roles like `roles/owner`. Because the skill executes CLI commands via Bash, audits will stall if local CLI credentials are not already configured.

It also reviews application authorization layers. The skill checks for centralized policy evaluation like `can(user, action, resource)` and catches role explosion before it hurts maintainability.

## Requirements
- Works with: AWS, Azure, Google Workspace

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add briiirussell/cybersecurity-skills --skill iam-audit -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/iam-audit/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/iam-audit/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add briiirussell/cybersecurity-skills --skill iam-audit -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/iam-audit/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add briiirussell/cybersecurity-skills --skill iam-audit -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/iam-audit/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install briiirussell/cybersecurity-skills iam-audit
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/iam-audit/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add briiirussell/cybersecurity-skills --skill iam-audit -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/briiirussell/cybersecurity-skills --path skills/iam-audit
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/iam-audit/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add briiirussell/cybersecurity-skills --skill iam-audit -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/briiirussell/cybersecurity-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/iam-audit/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find permanent access keys and uncontained admin policies in AWS
- detect downloaded service account keys and over-scoped roles in GCP
- verify Conditional Access rules and PIM setup in Azure Entra ID
- design centralized RBAC or ReBAC permissions for multi-tenant applications

## Example prompts
- Audit our AWS IAM configuration and check for users with permanent access keys
- Design a greenfield RBAC and ABAC structure for a multi-tenant SaaS
- Check our Okta and Entra ID setup for MFA bypass risks via legacy auth

# IAM Audit — Identity & Access Management Review and Design

Cover the identity and access layer end-to-end: audit existing setup, design from scratch, plan migrations, and codify the patterns most teams get wrong. This is the consultant-style skill — not just "what's misconfigured" but "what should this look like."

Three modes — pick the one that matches the engagement:
- **Audit** — review what's already deployed, find privilege creep and gaps
- **Design** — greenfield IAM for a new project or new identity provider
- **Migrate** — consolidate multiple identity providers, federate access, move to SSO

Cross-references: `cloud-audit` for the cloud-provider audit (broader than IAM), `container-audit` for K8s RBAC and ServiceAccounts (orchestration-layer identity).

## Mode 1 — Audit existing IAM

### Cloud provider IAM

**AWS:**
- IAM users with console access — should be zero in mature setups (use SSO/Identity Center)
- IAM users with permanent access keys — every one is a credential rotation problem; replace with role assumption via SSO or IAM Roles Anywhere
- Permissions boundaries set on every role that can create roles (prevents privilege escalation via `iam:CreateRole` + `iam:AttachRolePolicy`)
- `AdministratorAccess` policy attachments — flag every one and justify
- Wildcard `Action: "*"` or `Resource: "*"` outside of break-glass roles
- Cross-account trust policies — `Principal: { AWS: "*" }` is open to the world; should be specific account IDs with optional `aws:PrincipalOrgID` condition
- IMDSv2 enforced — `MetadataOptions.HttpTokens: required` on every EC2 launch template
- Service-linked roles audited — they bypass normal restrictions
- Run: `aws accessanalyzer list-findings`, `aws iam generate-credential-report`, `aws iam get-account-authorization-details`

**GCP:**
- `roles/owner` and `roles/editor` are too broad — replace with custom roles or fine-grained `roles/*Admin`
- Service account keys downloaded (`projects.serviceAccounts.keys.create`) — should be zero; use Workload Identity Federation
```
