Deletes the specified managed policy¶
Description¶
Deletes the specified managed policy.
Before you can delete a managed policy, you must first detach the policy from all users, groups, and roles that it is attached to. In addition, you must delete all the policy's versions. The following steps describe the process for deleting a managed policy:
-
Detach the policy from all users, groups, and roles that the policy is attached to, using
detach_user_policy
,detach_group_policy
, ordetach_role_policy
. To list all the users, groups, and roles that a policy is attached to, uselist_entities_for_policy
. -
Delete all versions of the policy using
delete_policy_version
. To list the policy's versions, uselist_policy_versions
. You cannot usedelete_policy_version
to delete the version that is marked as the default version. You delete the policy's default version in the next step of the process. -
Delete the policy (this automatically deletes the policy's default version) using this operation.
For information about managed policies, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide.
