For information about policies, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/policies-managed-vs-inline.html">Managed policies and inline policies</a> in the IAM User Guide. For information about the maximum number of inline policies that you can embed in a user, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_iam-quotas.html">IAM and STS quotas</a> in the IAM User Guide. <note> Because policy documents can be large, you should use POST rather than GET when calling <code>PutUserPolicy</code>.
