# Use `GetGroupPolicy` with a CLI
<a name="iam_example_iam_GetGroupPolicy_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `GetGroupPolicy`.

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To get information about a policy attached to an IAM group**  
The following `get-group-policy` command gets information about the specified policy attached to the group named `Test-Group`.  

```
aws iam get-group-policy \
    --group-name Test-Group \
    --policy-name S3-ReadOnly-Policy
```
Output:  

```
{
    "GroupName": "Test-Group",
    "PolicyDocument": {
        "Statement": [
            {
                "Action": [
                    "s3:Get*",
                    "s3:List*"
                ],
                "Resource": "*",
                "Effect": "Allow"
            }
        ]
    },
    "PolicyName": "S3-ReadOnly-Policy"
}
```

#### [ PowerShell ]

**Tools for PowerShell V4**  
**Example 1: This example returns details about the embedded inline policy named `PowerUserAccess-Testers` for the group `Testers`. The `PolicyDocument` property is URL encoded. It is decoded in this example with the `UrlDecode` .NET method.**  

```
$results = Get-IAMGroupPolicy -GroupName Testers -PolicyName PowerUserAccess-Testers
$results
```
**Output:**  

```
GroupName     PolicyDocument                                              PolicyName
---------     --------------                                              ----------
Testers       %7B%0A%20%20%22Version%22%3A%20%222012-10-17%22%2C%0A%20... PowerUserAccess-Testers

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Web.HttpUtility")
[System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlDecode($results.PolicyDocument)
{
  "Version":"2012-10-17",		 	 	 
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "ec2:DescribeInstances"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:ec2:us-east-1:555555555555:instance/i-b188560f"
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

**Tools for PowerShell V5**  
**Example 1: This example returns details about the embedded inline policy named `PowerUserAccess-Testers` for the group `Testers`. The `PolicyDocument` property is URL encoded. It is decoded in this example with the `UrlDecode` .NET method.**  

```
$results = Get-IAMGroupPolicy -GroupName Testers -PolicyName PowerUserAccess-Testers
$results
```
**Output:**  

```
GroupName     PolicyDocument                                              PolicyName
