**Important**  
This data type is a UNION, so only one of the following members can be specified when used or returned.

 ** InlinePolicyIdentifier **   
An inline policy identifier consisting of a policy name and the entity it is attached to. Wildcard characters (`*` and `?`) in the entity name can match multiple entities.  
Type: [InlinePolicyIdentifierType](API_InlinePolicyIdentifierType.md) object  
Required: No

 ** PolicyArn **   
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS managed policy or a customer managed policy that is attached to an IAM user, group, or role. Wildcard characters are supported in the resource name portion of the ARN to match multiple managed policies: use at most one `*` (matches any sequence of characters, including none), and any number of `?` (each matches exactly one character).  
For more information about ARNs, see [Amazon Resource Names (ARNs)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html) in the * AWS General Reference*.
