Create UserPolicy Resource
Resources are created with functions called constructors. To learn more about declaring and configuring resources, see Resources.

UserPolicy Resource Properties
To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Architecture and Concepts docs.
Inputs
In Python, inputs that are objects can be passed either as argument classes or as dictionary literals.
The UserPolicy resource accepts the following input properties:
- Policy string | string

- Name string
- The name of the policy. If omitted, the provider will assign a random, unique name.
- Name
Prefix string - Creates a unique name beginning with the specified prefix. Conflicts with
name.
- Policy string | string
- The policy document. This is a JSON formatted string.
- User string
- IAM user to which to attach this policy.
- Name string
- The name of the policy. If omitted, the provider will assign a random, unique name.
- Name
Prefix string - Creates a unique name beginning with the specified prefix. Conflicts with
name.
