**To create a new version of a managed policy**


This example creates a new ``v2`` version of the IAM policy whose ARN is ``arn:aws:iam::123456789012:policy/MyPolicy`` and makes it the default version::


  aws iam create-policy-version --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:policy/MyPolicy --policy-document file://NewPolicyVersion.json --set-as-default

Output::

  {
      "PolicyVersion": {
          "CreateDate": "2015-06-16T18:56:03.721Z",
          "VersionId": "v2",
          "IsDefaultVersion": true
      }
  }
