Attach AWS IAM User Policy to Assume a Role

There was a problem that the LLM was not able to address. Please rephrase your prompt and try again.

This task assigns a policy to an IAM user, enabling them to assume a specified IAM role. This key security measure allows controlled, temporary access elevation in line with the principle of least privilege. It's essential for secure and efficient permission management in AWS. Note:- This will directly attach a policy to the AWS IAM User.
