iam_get_policy: Retrieves information about the specified managed policy, including the policy's default version and the total number of IAM users, groups, and roles to which the policy is attached

Description

Retrieves information about the specified managed policy, including the policy's default version and the total number of IAM users, groups, and roles to which the policy is attached. To retrieve the list of the specific users, groups, and roles that the policy is attached to, use the list_entities_for_policy API. This API returns metadata about the policy. To retrieve the actual policy document for a specific version of the policy, use get_policy_version.

This API retrieves information about managed policies. To retrieve information about an inline policy that is embedded with an IAM user, group, or role, use the get_user_policy, get_group_policy, or get_role_policy API.

For more information about policies, see Managed Policies and Inline Policies in the IAM User Guide.
