post:
operationId: AttachRolePolicy
summary: Attach Role Policy
description: Attaches the specified managed policy to the specified IAM role. When you attach a managed policy to a role, the managed policy becomes part of the role's permission (access) policy. You cannot use a managed policy as the role's trust policy. The role's trust policy is created at the same time as the role, using CreateRole . You can update a role's trust policy using UpdateAssumerolePolicy . Use this operation to attach a managed policy to a role. To embed an inline policy in a role, use PutRolePolicy . For more information about policies, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide. As a best practice, you can validate your IAM policies. To learn more, see Validating IAM policies in the IAM User Guide.

post:
operationId: GetRolePolicy
summary: Get Role Policy
description: Retrieves the specified inline policy document that is embedded with the specified IAM role. Policies returned by this operation are URL-encoded compliant with RFC 3986. You can use a URL decoding method to convert the policy back to plain JSON text. For example, if you use Java, you can use the decode method of the java.net.URLDecoder utility class in the Java SDK. Other languages and SDKs provide similar functionality, and some SDKs do this decoding automatically. An IAM role can also have managed policies attached to it. To retrieve a managed policy document that is attached to a role, use GetPolicy to determine the policy's default version, then use GetPolicyVersion to retrieve the policy document. For more information about policies, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide. For more information about roles, see IAM roles in the IAM User Guide.

You can paginate the results using the MaxItems and Marker parameters. If there are no inline policies embedded with the specified role, the operation returns an empty list.

summary: Put Role Policy
description: Adds or updates an inline policy document that is embedded in the specified IAM role. When you embed an inline policy in a role, the inline policy is used as part of the role's access (permissions) policy. The role's trust policy is created at the same time as the role, using CreateRole . You can update a role's trust policy using UpdateAssumeRolePolicy . For more information about roles, see IAM roles in the IAM User Guide. A role can also have a managed policy attached to it. To attach a managed policy to a role, use AttachRolePolicy . To create a new managed policy, use CreatePolicy . For information about policies, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide. For information about the maximum number of inline policies that you can embed with a role, see IAM and STS quotas in the IAM User Guide. Because policy documents can be large, you should use POST rather than GET when calling PutRolePolicy. For general information about using the Query API with IAM, see Making query requests in the IAM User Guide.
