# Use `GetRolePolicy` with a CLI
<a name="iam_example_iam_GetRolePolicy_section"></a>

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

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

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

```
aws iam get-role-policy \
    --role-name Test-Role \
    --policy-name ExamplePolicy
```
Output:  

```
{
  "RoleName": "Test-Role",
  "PolicyDocument": {
      "Statement": [
          {
              "Action": [
                  "s3:ListBucket",
                  "s3:Put*",
                  "s3:Get*",
                  "s3:*MultipartUpload*"
              ],
              "Resource": "*",
              "Effect": "Allow",
              "Sid": "1"
          }
      ]
  }
  "PolicyName": "ExamplePolicy"
}
```

#### [ PowerShell ]

**Tools for PowerShell V4**  
**Example 1: This example returns the permissions policy document for the policy named `oneClick_lambda_exec_role_policy` that is embedded in the IAM role `lamda_exec_role`. The resulting policy document is URL encoded. It is decoded in this example with the `UrlDecode` .NET method.**  

```
$results = Get-IAMRolePolicy -RoleName lambda_exec_role -PolicyName oneClick_lambda_exec_role_policy
$results
```
**Output:**  

```
PolicyDocument                                            PolicyName                           UserName

```

```
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Web.HttpUtility")
[System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlDecode($results.PolicyDocument)
```
**Output:**  

```
{
  "Version":"2012-10-17",		 	 	 
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [

      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::amzn-s3-demo-bucket/*"
      ]
    }
