delete-policy-version¶

Description¶

Deletes the specified version from the specified managed policy.

You cannot delete the default version from a policy using this operation. To delete the default version from a policy, use DeletePolicy . To find out which version of a policy is marked as the default version, use ListPolicyVersions .

For information about versions for managed policies, see Versioning for managed policies in the IAM User Guide .

Synopsis¶

  delete-policy-version
--policy-arn <value>
--version-id <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--policy-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM policy from which you want to delete a version.

For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

--version-id (string)

The policy version to delete.

This parameter allows (through its regex pattern ) a string of characters that consists of the lowercase letter ‘v’ followed by one or two digits, and optionally followed by a period ‘.’ and a string of letters and digits.

For more information about managed policy versions, see Versioning for managed policies in the IAM User Guide .

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To delete a version of a managed policy

This example deletes the version identified as v2 from the policy whose ARN is arn:aws:iam::123456789012:policy/MySamplePolicy:

aws iam delete-policy-version --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:policy/MyPolicy --version-id v2
