iam_create_policy_versionR Documentation

Creates a new version of the specified managed policy

Description

Creates a new version of the specified managed policy. To update a managed policy, you create a new policy version. A managed policy can have up to five versions. If the policy has five versions, you must delete an existing version using delete_policy_version before you create a new version.

See https://www.paws-r-sdk.com/docs/iam_create_policy_version/ for full documentation.

Usage

iam_create_policy_version(PolicyArn, PolicyDocument, SetAsDefault = NULL)

Arguments

PolicyArn

[required] The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM policy to which you want to add a new version.

For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

PolicyDocument

[required] The JSON policy document that you want to use as the content for this new version of the policy.

You must provide policies in JSON format in IAM. However, for CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. CloudFormation always converts a YAML policy to JSON format before submitting it to IAM.

The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and STS character quotas.

The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

  • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character (U+0020) through the end of the ASCII character range

  • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through ⁠U+00FF⁠)

  • The special characters tab (U+0009), line feed (⁠U+000A⁠), and carriage return (⁠U+000D⁠)

SetAsDefault

Specifies whether to set this version as the policy's default version.

When this parameter is true, the new policy version becomes the operative version. That is, it becomes the version that is in effect for the IAM users, groups, and roles that the policy is attached to.

For more information about managed policy versions, see Versioning for managed policies in the IAM User Guide.
