list-group-policies

Lists the names of the inline policies that are embedded in the specified IAM group.

An IAM group can also have managed policies attached to it. To list the managed policies that are attached to a group, use ListAttachedGroupPolicies. For more information about policies, refer to Managed Policies and Inline Policies in the IAM User Guide.

You can paginate the results using the MaxItems and Marker parameters. If there are no inline policies embedded with the specified group, the operation returns an empty list.

Refer to AWS API Documentation.

Refer to AWS help for descriptions of global parameters.

list-group-policies is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument. When using --output text and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: PolicyNames

Synopsis

list-group-policies
  --group-name <value>
  [--max-items <value>]
  [--starting-token <value>]
  [--page-size <value>]

Options

--group-name (string)

The name of the group to list policies for.

This parameter allows (through its regex pattern) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _, +, =, ,, ., @, and -.

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command’s output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command’s output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, refer to Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, refer to Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide.

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command’s output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, refer to Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide.

Refer to AWS help for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To list all inline policies that are attached to the specified group

The following list-group-policies command lists the names of inline policies that are attached to the IAM group named Admins in the current account

aws iam list-group-policies --group-name Admins

Output example:

{
   "PolicyNames": [
       "AdminRoot",
       "ExamplePolicy"
   ]
}

For more information, refer to Managing IAM Policies in the Using IAM guide.

Output

PolicyNames -> (list)

A list of policy names.

This parameter allows (through its regex pattern) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _, +, =, ,, ., @, and -.

(string)

IsTruncated -> (boolean)

A flag that indicates whether there are more items to return. If your results were truncated, you can make a subsequent pagination request using the Marker request parameter to retrieve more items. Note that IAM might return fewer than the MaxItems number of results even when there are more results available. We recommend that you check IsTruncated after every call to ensure that you receive all your results.

Marker -> (string)

When IsTruncated is true, this element is present and contains the value to use for the Marker parameter in a subsequent pagination request.
