To remove a policy from an IAM user

The following delete-user-policy command removes the specified policy from the IAM user named Bob.

aws iam delete-user-policy \
    --user-name Bob \
    --policy-name ExamplePolicy

This command produces no output.

To get a list of policies for an IAM user, use the list-user-policies command.

For more information, see Creating an IAM user in your AWS account in the AWS IAM User Guide.

Example 1: This example deletes the inline policy named AccessToEC2Policy that is embedded in the IAM user named Bob.

Remove-IAMUserPolicy -PolicyName AccessToEC2Policy -UserName Bob

Example 2: This example finds all of the inline polices that are embedded in the IAM user named Theresa and then deletes them.

$inlinepols = Get-IAMUserPolicies -UserName Theresa
foreach ($pol in $inlinepols) { Remove-IAMUserPolicy -PolicyName $pol -UserName Theresa -Force}
