# Use `GetUserPolicy` with a CLI
`GetUserPolicy`

The following code examples show how to use `GetUserPolicy`.

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To list policy details for an IAM user**  
The following `get-user-policy` command lists the details of the specified policy that is attached to the IAM user named `Bob`.  

```
aws iam get-user-policy \
    --user-name Bob \
    --policy-name ExamplePolicy
```
Output:  

```
{
    "UserName": "Bob",
    "PolicyName": "ExamplePolicy",
    "PolicyDocument": {
        "Version":"2012-10-17",		 	 	 
        "Statement": [
            {
                "Action": "*",
                "Resource": "*",
                "Effect": "Allow"
            }
        ]
    }
}
```
To get a list of policies for an IAM user, use the `list-user-policies` command.  
For more information, see [Policies and permissions in IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html) in the *AWS IAM User Guide*.

#### [ PowerShell ]

**Tools for PowerShell V4**  
**Example 1: This example retrieves the details of the inline policy named `Davids_IAM_Admin_Policy` that is embedded in the IAM user named `David`. The policy document is URL encoded.**  

```
$results = Get-IAMUserPolicy -PolicyName Davids_IAM_Admin_Policy -UserName David
$results
```
**Output:**  

```
PolicyDocument                                            PolicyName                    UserName
--------------                                            ----------                    --------
%7B%0A%20%20%22Version%22%3A%20%222012-10-17%22%2C%...    Davids_IAM_Admin_Policy       David

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Web.HttpUtility")
[System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlDecode($results.PolicyDocument)
{
  "Version":"2012-10-17",		 	 	 
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "iam:GetUser",
        "iam:ListUsers"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:iam::111122223333:user/*"
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```
+  For API details, see [GetUserPolicy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/v4/reference) in *AWS Tools for PowerShell Cmdlet Reference (V4)*. 

**Tools for PowerShell V5**  
**Example 1: This example retrieves the details of the inline policy named `Davids_IAM_Admin_Policy` that is embedded in the IAM user named `David`. The policy document is URL encoded.**  

```
$results = Get-IAMUserPolicy -PolicyName Davids_IAM_Admin_Policy -UserName David
$results
```
**Output:**  

```
PolicyDocument                                            PolicyName                    UserName
