Policies management

Policies: basic operations

Create a new policy in IAM with the specified permissions.

When creating a policy, you have two options for specifying the policy document. You can either include the policy directly in the command using the "--policy-document" parameter, or you can create a separate JSON file (e.g., policy.json) containing the policy and use the "--policy-document file://policy.json" format where file://policy.json is the local path to your policy.json file.

Policies versions are not supported. Please use "--version-id 1" for the get-policy-version subcommand.

delete-policy: Delete an existing policy from IAM.
get-policy-version: Retrieve full information about a specific version of a policy in IAM.
Retrieve a list of all policies in IAM.

aws iam create-policy --policy-name your_policy_name --policy-document '{"Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [{"Effect": "Allow", "Action": ["s3:GetObject", "s3:GetObjectVersion", "s3:PutObject"], "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::bucket_name/*"]}]}' --endpoint-url https://iam.eu.impossibleapi.net --profile aws
