Delete an inline IAM policy from a user using an Amazon SDK

The following code examples show how to delete an inline IAM policy from a user.

Warning

To avoid security risks, don't use IAM users for authentication when developing purpose-built software or working with real data. Instead, use federation with an identity provider such as Amazon IAM Identity Center.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:
