Use ListPolicyVersions with an Amazon SDK or command line tool

The following code examples show how to use ListPolicyVersions.

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 examples:

CLI
Amazon CLI

To list information about the versions of the specified managed policy

This example returns the list of available versions of the policy whose ARN is arn:aws:iam::123456789012:policy/MySamplePolicy.

aws iam list-policy-versions \ --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:policy/MySamplePolicy

Output:

{ "IsTruncated": false, "Versions": [ { "VersionId": "v2", "IsDefaultVersion": true, "CreateDate": "2015-06-02T23:19:44Z" }, { "VersionId": "v1", "IsDefaultVersion": false, "CreateDate": "2015-06-02T22:30:47Z" } ] }

Example 1: This example returns the list of available versions of the policy whose ARN is arn:aws:iam::123456789012:policy/MyManagedPolicy. To get the policy document for a specific version, use the Get-IAMPolicyVersion command and specify the VersionId of the one you want.

Get-IAMPolicyVersionList -PolicyArn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:policy/MyManagedPolicy

Output:
