About AWS CodeCommit

CodeCommit is Regional, so Iru walks enabled Regions. Attach AWSCodeCommitReadOnly, which includes codecommit:GitPull, BatchGet*, Describe*, Get*, List*, and pull-request approval evaluation. If repositories use a customer-managed KMS key, add kms:Decrypt for that key’s ARN.

​
How It Works

Iru runs in its own AWS account. To read CodeCommit repositories and related metadata in your account, you create an IAM role that Iru can assume via sts:AssumeRole, gated by the wizard External ID, with read-only codecommit: permissions (for example AWSCodeCommitReadOnly or the inline JSON on the AWS tab). You then paste the role’s ARN back into Iru.

​
Prerequisites

  • IAM rights to create roles.
  • At least one CodeCommit repository where you expect evidence.

​
Connect AWS CodeCommit to Iru

Start here: open the source wizard and copy the trust policy (and note the external ID). When you are ready to create the role in AWS, switch to the AWS tab and follow Create the IAM role in AWS. After you have the Role ARN, return to the Iru Compliance tab and complete Submit the role ARN in Iru below.

​
Get the trust policy from Iru

1

Open Sources

In Iru Compliance, on the left navigation bar, expand Compliance and select Sources.
Left navigation: Compliance expanded, Sources selected
2

Turn on AWS CodeCommit

Find AWS CodeCommit (use Category or Search by name or description). On that card, turn on the toggle. Leave the Iru is requesting access to external services wizard tab open.
3

Copy the trust policy JSON

The wizard shows the trust policy JSON your IAM role must use (Principal and sts:ExternalId). Below is an example of the structure; copy the live JSON from your wizard so the account, principal ARN, and external ID match exactly.
copy=false
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::753695775620:role/IruConnect"
      },
      "Condition": {
        "StringEquals": {
          "sts:ExternalId": "YOUR_EXTERNAL_ID"
        }
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
    }
  ]
}
4

Switch to AWS to create the role

Keep the Iru wizard tab open for reference, then switch to the AWS tab and follow Create the IAM role in AWS.

​
Submit the role ARN in Iru

Finish the AWS tab first (through Create the IAM role in AWS) so you have the Role ARN from the new role.
1

Paste the IAM Role ARN

Return to the Iru wizard tab. Paste the Role ARN where the connector prompts for it.
2

Finish the connection

Click Submit Role. When the connection succeeds, the wizard shows Connection Configured.
3

Confirm the source is Active

Close the Iru is requesting access to external services browser tab, then return to Compliance → Sources and confirm the AWS CodeCommit card is Active.

​
Troubleshooting

Check pop-up blocker settings for the Iru site and try again.
Add kms:Decrypt for that repository’s CMK.
Confirm the Region you use in AWS matches where repos exist.
External ID mismatch.

Considerations

CodeCommit was announced for end of new customer access in July 2024 - plan migrations and retire this source when repos move.
