Attach Policies to an AWS IAM user

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

In AWS, policies define how operations are allowed or denied. This task attaches policies to an IAM user which in turn sets permissions on what actions that user can and cannot perform within AWS services. Essentially, it's a way to control a user's access to AWS resources. Policies can be predefined by AWS, like managed policies, or custom-defined by users. By strategically attaching and detaching policies, AWS administrators can finely tune access permissions for individual IAM users or groups.
