AWS IAM: Credential report via CLI

Question

I'm trying to pull the credential report using AWS CLI as shown in Getting Credential Reports for Your AWS Account - AWS Identity and Access Management.

However, on doing so:

I get a file like this and not the credential report.

What am I doing wrong? Please help.

Answer 1

The documentation page you linked says:

Content -> (blob)

Contains the credential report. The report is Base64-encoded.

From GitHub: Get IAM Credential Report:

aws iam generate-credential-report
aws iam get-credential-report --output text --query Content  | base64 -D
