Adds or updates an inline policy document that is embedded in the
specified IAM user.
An IAM user can also have a managed policy attached to it. To attach a
managed policy to a user, use AttachUserPolicy. To create a new managed
policy, use CreatePolicy. For information about policies, see Managed Policies and Inline Policies
in the IAM User Guide.
For information about limits on the number of inline policies that you
can embed in a user, see Limitations on IAM Entities
in the IAM User Guide.
Because policy documents can be large, you should use POST rather than
GET when calling PutUserPolicy
. For general information about using
the Query API with IAM, go to Making Query Requests
in the IAM User Guide.
