List inline IAM policies for a user using an Amazon SDK

The following code example shows how to list inline IAM policies for 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 (successor to Amazon Single Sign-On).

// UserWrapper encapsulates user actions used in the examples.
// It contains an IAM service client that is used to perform user actions.
type UserWrapper struct {
	IamClient *iam.Client
}



// ListUserPolicies lists the inline policies for the specified user.
func (wrapper UserWrapper) ListUserPolicies(userName string) ([]string, error) {
	var policies []string
	result, err := wrapper.IamClient.ListUserPolicies(context.TODO(), &iam.ListUserPoliciesInput{
		UserName: aws.String(userName),
	})
	if err != nil {
		log.Printf("Couldn't list policies for user %v. Here's why: %v\n", userName, err)
	} else {
		policies = result.PolicyNames
	}
	return policies, err
}
