Listing Your Managed Policies

To list the managed policies available for your account, use the list-policies command following this syntax:

Request sample
$ aws iam list-policies \
    --profile YOUR_PROFILE \
    --scope all \
    --only-attached \
    --path-prefix / \
    --endpoint https://eim.eu-west-2.outscale.com

This command contains the following attributes that you need to specify:

  • (optional) profile: The named profile you want to use, created when configuring AWS CLI. For more information, see Installing and Configuring AWS CLI.

  • (optional) scope: The scope to filter the result (all | local).

    As no 3DS OUTSCALE-managed policies are provided, this action only returns policies you created independently from the scope you choose.

  • (optional) only-attached | not-only-attached: If only-attached is set, only managed policies that are attached to an EIM identity are listed.

  • (optional) path-prefix: The path prefix of the policies you want to describe (by default, set to a slash /).

  • endpoint: The endpoint corresponding to the Region you want to send the request to.

The list-policies command returns the following elements:

  • Policies: Information about one or more policies. This element contains the following information:

    • PolicyName: The name of the policy.

    • CreateDate: The date and time of creation of the policy.

    • AttachmentCount: The number of EIM identities (users or groups) the policy is attached to.

    • IsAttachable: If true, the policy can be attached to an EIM identity. If false, it cannot.

    • PolicyId: The ID of the policy.

    • DefaultVersionId: The ID of the policy version set as the default one.

    • Path: The path for the policy.

    • Arn: The OUTSCALE Resource Name (ORN) of the policy.
