I'm curious if there's a way to retrieve the IAM role that was used when accessing an API Gateway endpoint that has IAM authorization enabled. Specifically, I want to know if this role information can be passed along to my backend application so it can execute different logic based on the role. Just to clarify, I'm working with API Gateway version 2 that uses HTTP proxy.

You can reference the IAM role in API Gateway v2 using mapping templates to extract relevant information! Check the documentation for mapping variables; while it may seem like it's more focused on REST APIs, trying out your specific setup could yield results.
Just a heads up, you'd need to ensure your configurations are set correctly for HTTP proxy, as some details might not directly apply.
