history
Project history and usage
Parliament is a Duo Labs library and command-line linter for finding structural, semantic, resource, condition, and risky-pattern problems in AWS IAM policies.
Project history
Duo Labs created Parliament because it wanted the IAM policy-review functionality available in the AWS web console as a reusable library, while adding checks of its own.
The project grew beyond basic JSON and IAM action validation through configurable severities, ignored findings, community auditors, and private custom auditors.
Adoption history
Parliament's official README identifies CloudMapper, tf-parliament, iam-lint, Paco, ConsoleMe, and iamlive as projects that use or integrate the library.
Homebrew distribution gives the Python-based linter a standalone command-line installation path in addition to its library-oriented Python packaging.
How it is used
Users can lint a policy file, directory, JSON string, AWS managed-policy collection, or account-authorization-details export.
Library consumers call Parliament's analysis functions and inspect returned findings, while CLI users can produce human-readable or JSON output and use the process exit status in automation.
The documented optional override file is supplied with --config and is commonly named config_override.yaml; it changes finding severity, descriptions, and ignore rules. No credentials file is required for ordinary local policy analysis.
Why package nerds care
Parliament is notable for extracting AWS console-style IAM policy checks into a reusable open-source library and CLI. That makes the same analysis available to local scripts, continuous integration, Terraform-oriented tooling, and larger AWS administration systems.
Timeline
- Initial design: Duo Labs extracted and extended AWS console-style IAM policy validation into a reusable library.
- Later development: Parliament added configurable findings, custom auditors, directory and account-authorization inputs, and integrations with other AWS security tools.
Related projects
- The documented integration list spans AWS environment auditing, Terraform policy checks, GitHub Actions, cloud orchestration, multi-account administration, and policy generation.
