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.

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. 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 .

Example 1: To detach an AWS IoT policy from a thing group

The following detach-policy example detaches the specified policy from a thing group and, by extension, from all things in that group and any of the group’s child groups.

aws iot detach-policy \
    --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.

Example 2: To detach an AWS IoT policy from a device certificate

The following detach-policy example detaches the TemperatureSensorPolicy policy from a device certificate identified by ARN.

aws iot detach-policy \
    --policy-name TemperatureSensorPolicy \
    --target arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:cert/488b6a7f2acdeb00a77384e63c4e40b18b1b3caaae57b7272ba44c45e3448142
