aws.iam.list_policies

Example SQL Queries

SELECT * FROM
aws.iam.list_policies;

Description

Lists all the managed policies that are available in your Amazon Web Services account, including your own customer-defined managed policies and all Amazon Web Services managed policies.

You can filter the list of policies that is returned using the optional OnlyAttached, Scope, and PathPrefix parameters. For example, to list only the customer managed policies in your Amazon Web Services account, set Scope to Local. To list only Amazon Web Services managed policies, set Scope to AWS.

You can paginate the results using the MaxItems and Marker parameters.

For more information about managed policies, see Managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide.

IAM resource-listing operations return a subset of the available attributes for the resource. For example, this operation does not return tags, even though they are an attribute of the returned object. To view all of the information for a customer manged policy, see GetPolicy.

Column NameColumn Data Type
only_attached Input Column

A flag to filter the results to only the attached policies.

This parameter is optional. If it is not included, all policies are returned. 

VARCHAR

The scope to use for filtering the results.

To list only Amazon Web Services managed policies, set Scope to AWS. To list only the customer managed policies in your Amazon Web Services account, set Scope to Local.

Show child fields
tags[].key

The key name that can be used to look up or retrieve the associated value. For example, Department or Cost Center are common choices.

tags[].value

The value associated with this tag. For example, tags with a key name of Department could have values such as Human Resources, Accounting, and Support. Tags with a key name of Cost Center might have values that consist of the number associated with the different cost centers in your company. Typically, many resources have tags with the same key name but with different values.

Amazon Web Services always interprets the tag Value as a single string. If you need to store an array, you can store comma-separated values in the string. However, you must interpret the value in your code.

update_date

When a policy has only one version, this field contains the date and time when the policy was created. When a policy has more than one version, this field contains the date and time when the most recent policy version was created.
