iam-useraddpolicy
Description
Creates a policy based on the information you provide and attaches the policy to the specified user. Use this command if you need a simple policy with no conditions, and you don't want to write the policy yourself. If you need a policy with conditions, you must write the policy yourself and upload it with iam-useruploadpolicy.
