Inline policies

Inline policies are policies that you create and manage and embed directly into a user, group, or role. The following policy examples show how to assign permissions to perform AWS Private CA actions. For general information about inline policies, see Working with Inline Policies in the IAM User Guide. You can use the AWS Management Console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or the IAM API to create and embed inline policies.

Important

We strongly recommend the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) any time you access AWS Private CA.
