Get Role Policy

iam_get_role_policy R Documentation

Retrieves the specified inline policy document that is embedded with the specified IAM role

Description

Retrieves the specified inline policy document that is embedded with the specified IAM role.

Policies returned by this operation are URL-encoded compliant with RFC 3986. You can use a URL decoding method to convert the policy back to plain JSON text. For example, if you use Java, you can use the decode method of the java.net.URLDecoder utility class in the Java SDK. Other languages and SDKs provide similar functionality.

An IAM role can also have managed policies attached to it. To retrieve a managed policy document that is attached to a role, use get_policy to determine the policy's default version, then use get_policy_version to retrieve the policy document.

For more information about policies, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide.

For more information about roles, see IAM roles in the IAM User Guide.
