left join aws_ec2_instance as i on p = i.iam_instance_profile_arn
where
i.arn is not null
), iam_role_with_permission as (
select

jsonb_array_elements_text(s -> 'Principal' -> 'Service') as service,
jsonb_array_elements_text(s -> 'Action') as action
where
arn in (select role_arn from iam_roles)
and s ->> 'Effect' = 'Allow'
and service = 'ec2.amazonaws.com'
and action = 'iam:createuser'
and action = 'iam:attachuserpolicy'
)
select
i.arn as resource,
case
when p.arn is null then 'ok'
else 'alarm'
end status,
case
when p.arn is null then title || ' has no new user creation access with attached policy.'
