Use AttachUserPolicy
with an Amazon SDK or command line tool
The following code examples show how to use AttachUserPolicy
.
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:

To attach a managed policy to an IAM user
The following attach-user-policy
command attaches the Amazon managed policy named AdministratorAccess
to the IAM user named Alice
.
aws iam attach-user-policy \
--policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AdministratorAccess \
--user-name Alice
This command produces no output.
For more information, see Managed policies and inline policies in the Amazon IAM User Guide.

Example 1: This example attaches the Amazon managed policy named AmazonCognitoPowerUser
to the IAM user Bob
. The user is immediately affected by the permissions defined in the latest version of that policy.
Register-IAMUserPolicy -UserName Bob -PolicyArn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonCognitoPowerUser
