Options¶

--policy-store-id (string)

Specifies the ID of the policy store you want to list policies from.

--filter (structure)

Specifies a filter that limits the response to only policies that match the specified criteria. For example, you list only the policies that reference a specified principal.

principal -> (tagged union structure)

Filters the output to only policies that reference the specified principal.

Note
This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set: unspecified, identifier.

unspecified -> (boolean)

Used to indicate that a principal or resource is not specified. This can be used to search for policies that are not associated with a specific principal or resource.

identifier -> (structure)

The identifier of the entity. It can consist of either an EntityType and EntityId, a principal, or a resource.

entityType -> (string)

The type of an entity.

Example: "entityType":"*typeName* "

entityId -> (string)

The identifier of an entity.

"entityId":"*identifier* "

resource -> (tagged union structure)

Filters the output to only policies that reference the specified resource.

Note
This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set: unspecified, identifier.

unspecified -> (boolean)

Used to indicate that a principal or resource is not specified. This can be used to search for policies that are not associated with a specific principal or resource.

identifier -> (structure)

The identifier of the entity. It can consist of either an EntityType and EntityId, a principal, or a resource.

entityType -> (string)

The type of an entity.

Example: "entityType":"*typeName* "

entityId -> (string)

The identifier of an entity.

"entityId":"*identifier* "

policyType -> (string)

Filters the output to only policies of the specified type.

policyTemplateId -> (string)

Filters the output to only template-linked policies that were instantiated from the specified policy template.

Shorthand Syntax:

principal={unspecified=boolean,identifier={entityType=string,entityId=string}},resource={unspecified=boolean,identifier={entityType=string,entityId=string}},policyType=string,policyTemplateId=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "principal": {
    "unspecified": true|false,
    "identifier": {
      "entityType": "string",
      "entityId": "string"
    }
  },
  "resource": {
    "unspecified": true|false,
    "identifier": {
      "entityType": "string",
      "entityId": "string"
    }
  },
  "policyType": "STATIC"|"TEMPLATE_LINKED",
  "policyTemplateId": "string"
}

--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.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command’s output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command’s output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command’s output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--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.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table
yaml
yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

base64
raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input 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 list the available policies

The following list-policies example lists all policies in the specified policy store.

Output¶

nextToken -> (string)

If present, this value indicates that more output is available than is included in the current response. Use this value in the NextToken request parameter in a subsequent call to the operation to get the next part of the output. You should repeat this until the NextToken response element comes back as null . This indicates that this is the last page of results.

policies -> (list)

Lists all policies that are available in the specified policy store.

(structure)

Contains information about a policy.

This data type is used as a response parameter for the ListPolicies operation.

policyStoreId -> (string)

The identifier of the PolicyStore where the policy you want information about is stored.

policyId -> (string)

The identifier of the policy you want information about.

policyType -> (string)

The type of the policy. This is one of the following values:
