create_policy¶

A friendly description of the policy.

Typically used to store information about the permissions defined in the policy. For example, "Grants access to production DynamoDB tables."

The policy description is immutable. After a value is assigned, it cannot be changed.

The path for the policy.

For more information about paths, see IAM identifiers in the IAM User Guide.

This parameter is optional. If it is not included, it defaults to a slash (/).

This parameter allows (through its regex pattern) a string of characters consisting of either a forward slash (/) by itself or a string that must begin and end with forward slashes. In addition, it can contain any ASCII character from the ! (!) through the DEL character (), including most punctuation characters, digits, and upper and lowercased letters.

The JSON policy document that you want to use as the content for the new
policy.

You must provide policies in JSON format in IAM. However, for
CloudFormation templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy
in JSON or YAML format. CloudFormation always converts a YAML policy to
JSON format before submitting it to IAM.

The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this
operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum
character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see [IAM and
STS character
quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_iam-quotas.html#reference_iam-quotas-entity-length).

To learn more about JSON policy grammar, see [Grammar of the IAM JSON
policy
language](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_grammar.html)
in the *IAM User Guide*.

The [regex pattern](http://wikipedia.org/wiki/regex) used to validate
this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

- Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character
  (` `) through the end of the ASCII character range

- The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement
  character set (through `ÿ`)

- The special characters tab (`     `), line feed (`

), and carriage return ( `)

The friendly name of the policy.

IAM user, group, role, and policy names must be unique within the account. Names are not distinguished by case. For example, you cannot create resources named both "MyResource" and "myresource".

A list of tags that you want to attach to the new IAM customer managed policy. Each tag consists of a key name and an associated value. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide.

A structure containing details about the new policy.

Metadata about the response that produced this output. Use this to recover the request identifiers a service's support team needs in order to investigate a call. Members of the metadata are individually optional.
