Create AWS Lambda function to get Users from IAM

I want to get user details from AWS IAM so I have created a lambda function but there is an error with response code 502. My code is as below. 

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var iam = new AWS.IAM();
AWS.config.loadFromPath('./config.json');

let getUsers = async (event, callback) => {
    var params = {
        UserName: "5dc6f49d50498e2907f8ee69"
    };

    iam.getUser(params, (err, data) => {
        if (err) {
            callback(err)
        } else {
            console.log(data)
            callback(data)
        }
    })
};

Since your function already is async you don't need to use the old, outdated callback approach.

The AWS SDK methods provide a .promise() method which you can append to every AWS asynchronous call and, with async, you can simply await on a Promise.

    var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
    var iam = new AWS.IAM();
    AWS.config.loadFromPath('./config.json');

    let getUsers = async event => {
        var params = {
            UserName: "5dc6f49d50498e2907f8ee69"
        };

        const user = await iam.getUser(params).promise()
        console.log(user)
    };

Hopefully you have a handler that invokes this code, otherwise this is not going to work. If you want to export getUsers as your handler function, make sure export it through module.exports first. I.e: module.exports.getUsers = async event.... Double check that your Lambda handler is properly configured on the function itself, where index.getUsers would stand for index being the filename (index.js) and getUsers your exported function.
