# Use `PutGroupPolicy` with a CLI
<a name="iam_example_iam_PutGroupPolicy_section"></a>

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

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

**AWS CLI**  
**To add a policy to a group**  
The following `put-group-policy` command adds a policy to the IAM group named `Admins`.  

```
aws iam put-group-policy \
    --group-name Admins \
    --policy-document file://AdminPolicy.json \
    --policy-name AdminRoot
```
This command produces no output.  
The policy is defined as a JSON document in the *AdminPolicy.json* file. (The file name and extension do not have significance.)  
For more information, see [Managing IAM policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_manage.html) in the *AWS IAM User Guide*.  
+  For API details, see [PutGroupPolicy](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/iam/put-group-policy.html) in *AWS CLI Command Reference*. 

------
#### [ PowerShell ]

**Tools for PowerShell V4**  
**Example 1: This example creates an inline policy named `AppTesterPolicy` and embeds it in the IAM group `AppTesters`. If an inline policy with the same name already exists, then it is overwritten. The JSON policy content comes the file `apptesterpolicy.json`. Note that you must use the `-Raw` parameter to successfully process the content of the JSON file.**  

```
Write-IAMGroupPolicy -GroupName AppTesters -PolicyName AppTesterPolicy -PolicyDocument (Get-Content -Raw apptesterpolicy.json)
```
+  For API details, see [PutGroupPolicy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/v4/reference) in *AWS Tools for PowerShell Cmdlet Reference (V4)*. 

**Tools for PowerShell V5**  
**Example 1: This example creates an inline policy named `AppTesterPolicy` and embeds it in the IAM group `AppTesters`. If an inline policy with the same name already exists, then it is overwritten. The JSON policy content comes the file `apptesterpolicy.json`. Note that you must use the `-Raw` parameter to successfully process the content of the JSON file.**  

```
Write-IAMGroupPolicy -GroupName AppTesters -PolicyName AppTesterPolicy -PolicyDocument (Get-Content -Raw apptesterpolicy.json)
```
+  For API details, see [PutGroupPolicy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/v5/reference) in *AWS Tools for PowerShell Cmdlet Reference (V5)*.
