AWS v6.83.0 published on Monday, Jun 16, 2025 by Pulumi
pulumi/pulumi-aws

    Provides an IAM policy attached to a group.

    NOTE: We suggest using explicit JSON encoding or aws.iam.getPolicyDocument when assigning a value to policy. They seamlessly translate configuration to JSON, enabling you to maintain consistency within your configuration without the need for context switches. Also, you can sidestep potential complications arising from formatting discrepancies, whitespace inconsistencies, and other nuances inherent to JSON.

    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

const myDevelopers = new aws.iam.Group("my_developers", {
    name: "developers",
    path: "/users/",
});
const myDeveloperPolicy = new aws.iam.GroupPolicy("my_developer_policy", {
    name: "my_developer_policy",
    group: myDevelopers.name,
    policy: JSON.stringify({
        Version: "2012-10-17",
        Statement: [{
            Action: ["ec2:Describe*"],
            Effect: "Allow",
            Resource: "*",
        }],
    }),
});
