detach-policy

Description

Detaches a policy from the specified target.

Note

Because of the distributed nature of Amazon Web Services, it can take up to five minutes after a policy is detached before it’s ready to be deleted.

Requires permission to access the DetachPolicy action.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  detach-policy
--policy-name <value>
--target <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--policy-name (string)

The policy to detach.

--target (string)

The target from which the policy will be detached.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

    --target "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:thinggroup/LightBulbs" \
    --policy-name "MyFirstGroup_Core-policy"

This command produces no output.

For more information, see Thing Groups in the AWS IoT Developers Guide.
