iam_put_role_policy: Adds or updates an inline policy document that is embedded in the specified IAM role

Description

Adds or updates an inline policy document that is embedded in the specified IAM role.

Usage

iam_put_role_policy(RoleName, PolicyName, PolicyDocument)

Arguments

RoleName

[required] The name of the role to associate the policy with.

This parameter allows (through its regex pattern) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: \_+=,.@-

PolicyName

[required] The name of the policy document.

PolicyDocument

[required] The policy document.

You must provide policies in JSON format in IAM. However, for AWS CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. AWS CloudFormation always converts a YAML policy to JSON format before submitting it to IAM.

The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character (U+0020) through the end of the ASCII character range
The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through U+00FF)
The special characters tab (U+0009), line feed (U+000A), and carriage return (U+000D)

Request syntax

svc$put_role_policy(
  RoleName = "string",
  PolicyName = "string",
  PolicyDocument = "string"
)

Details

When you embed an inline policy in a role, the inline policy is used as part of the role's access (permissions) policy. The role's trust policy is created at the same time as the role, using CreateRole. You can update a role's trust policy using UpdateAssumeRolePolicy. For more information about IAM roles, go to Using Roles to Delegate Permissions and Federate Identities.

A role can also have a managed policy attached to it. To attach a managed policy to a role, use AttachRolePolicy. 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 with a role, 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 PutRolePolicy. For general information about using the Query API with IAM, go to Making Query Requests in the IAM User Guide.
