put

IAM.UserPolicy.put(**kwargs)

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 the maximum number of inline policies that you can embed in a user, see IAM and STS quotas in the IAM User Guide .

Note

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, see Making query requests in the IAM User Guide .
