policyDocument

The JSON policy document that you want to use as the content for the new policy. You must provide policies in JSON format in IAM. However, for CFN templates formatted in YAML, you can provide the policy in JSON or YAML format. CFN always converts a YAML policy to JSON format before submitting it to IAM. The maximum length of the policy document that you can pass in this operation, including whitespace, is listed below. To view the maximum character counts of a managed policy with no whitespaces, see IAM and character quotas. To learn more about JSON policy grammar, see Grammar of the IAM JSON policy language in the IAM User Guide. The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

• Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character (`\u0020`) through the end of the ASCII character range

• The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through `\u00FF`)

• The special characters tab (`\u0009`), line feed (`\u000A`), and carriage return (`\u000D`) Search the CloudFormation User Guide for AWS::IAM::ManagedPolicy for more information about the expected schema for this property.
