Identity-based policies - AWS Wickr

This guide documents the new AWS Wickr administration console, released on March 13, 2025. For documentation on the classic version of the AWS Wickr administration console, see Classic Administration Guide.

Identity-based policies

Identity-based policies are JSON permissions policy documents that you attach to an identity (user, group, or role). These policies control what actions identities can perform, on which resources, and under what conditions. To learn how to create an identity-based policy, see Define custom IAM permissions with customer managed policies in the IAM User Guide.

Identity-based policies can be inline policies (embedded directly into a single identity) or managed policies (standalone policies attached to multiple identities). To learn how to choose between managed and inline policies, see Choose between managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide.
