IAM: Access the policy simulator API - Amazon Identity and Access Management
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

IAM: Access the policy simulator API

This example shows how you might create an identity-based policy that allows using the policy simulator API for policies attached to a user, group, or role in the current Amazon Web Services account. This policy also allows access to simulate less sensitive policies passed to the API as strings. This policy grants the permissions necessary to complete this action programmatically from the Amazon API or Amazon CLI.

Note

To allow a user to access the policy simulator console to simulate policies attached to a user, group, or role in the current Amazon Web Services account, see IAM: Access the policy simulator console.
