Deleting a Policy

Delete an IAM policy.

Note

If you use the name of a group, dynamic group, or compartment in a policy, the policy is mapped to the OCID of the group, dynamic group, or compartment when the policy is created. If the OCID of the group, dynamic group, or compartment changes, you must recompile one of the policies that applies to the group or compartment to update the OCID in all the policies.

To recompile the policy, open a policy, and make a small edit. Save the policy.

  1. Open the navigation menu and click Identity & Security. Under Identity, click Policies.
    A list of the policies in the compartment you're viewing is displayed. If you don't see the one you're looking for, verify that you're viewing the correct compartment (select from the list on the left side of the page).
  2. From the Actions menu (Actions Menu) for the policy you want to delete, select Delete.
  3. Confirm when prompted.
    Your changes go into effect typically within 10 seconds.
