To attach a permissions policy to an IAM role

The following put-role-policy example adds a permissions policy to the role named Test-Role.

aws iam put-role-policy --role-name Test-Role --policy-name ExamplePolicy --policy-document file://AdminPolicy.jsonIdentify

--role-nameThe name of the role to associate the policy with.

--policy-nameThe name of the policy document.

--policy-documentThe policy document.

Contents of AdminPolicy.json:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "*",
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

This command produces no output.

The policy is defined as a JSON document in the AdminPolicy.json file. (The file name and extension do not have significance.)

To attach a trust policy to a role, use the update-assume-role-policy command.
