To create an AWS IoT policy

The following create-policy example creates an AWS IoT policy named TemperatureSensorPolicy. The policy.json file contains statements that allow AWS IoT policy actions.

aws iot create-policy \
    --policy-name TemperatureSensorPolicy \
    --policy-document file://policy.json

Contents of policy.json:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "iot:Publish",
                "iot:Receive"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:topic/topic_1",
                "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:topic/topic_2"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "iot:Subscribe"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:topicfilter/topic_1",
                "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:topicfilter/topic_2"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "iot:Connect"
            ],

            ]
        }
    ]
}
