How to rename an AWS customer IAM policy?

Question

I have created a custom IAM policy, now I'm trying to rename it but I cannot find an option for it. The policy was not attached to anything yet. Is it possible to rename it or should I create a new policy with the correct name and delete the old one?

Answer 1

No, you cannot rename your custom policy. Only alternative:

• Copy policy
• Create a new policy with the new name and paste the policy
• Delete the old policy
