Put Group Policy

iam_put_group_policy R Documentation

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

Description

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

A user can also have managed policies attached to it. To attach a managed policy to a group, use attach_group_policy . To create a new managed policy, use create_policy . 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 group, see IAM and STS quotas in the IAM User Guide.

Because policy documents can be large, you should use POST rather than GET when calling put_group_policy. For general information about using the Query API with IAM, see Making query requests in the IAM User Guide.
