/#Action=PutUserPermissionsBoundary

https://iam.amazonaws.com/#Action=PutUserPermissionsBoundary

Adds or updates the policy that is specified as the IAM user's permissions boundary. You can use an Amazon Web Services managed policy or a customer managed policy to set the boundary for a user. Use the boundary to control the maximum permissions that the user can have. Setting a permissions boundary is an advanced feature that can affect the permissions for the user. <important> Policies that are used as permissions boundaries do not provide permissions. You must also attach a permissions policy to the user. To learn how the effective permissions for a user are evaluated, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_evaluation-logic.html">IAM JSON policy evaluation logic</a> in the IAM User Guide. </important>

Query Params

UserNamestringrequired

The name (friendly name, not ARN) of the IAM user for which you want to set the permissions boundary.

PermissionsBoundarystringrequired

The ARN of the managed policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the user. A permissions boundary policy defines the maximum permissions that identity-based policies can grant to an entity, but does not grant permissions. Permissions boundaries do not define the maximum permissions that a resource-based policy can grant to an entity. To learn more, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_boundaries.html">Permissions boundaries for IAM entities</a> in the IAM User Guide. For more information about policy types, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html#access_policy-types">Policy types </a> in the IAM User Guide.
