+# aws_iam_role_deprecated_policy_attributes
+
+Disallow `inline_policy` configuration blocks and `managed_policy_arns` argument of the `aws_iam_role` resource.
+
+## Example
+
+```hcl
+resource "aws_iam_role" "example" {
+  name               = "example"
+  assume_role_policy = data.aws_iam_policy_document.instance_assume_role_policy.json # (not shown)
+
+  inline_policy {
+    name = "my_inline_policy"
+
+    policy = jsonencode({
+      Version = "2012-10-17"
+      Statement = [
+        {
+          Action   = ["ec2:Describe*"]
+          Effect   = "Allow"
+          Resource = "*"
+        },
+      ]
+    })
+  }
+
+  inline_policy {
+    name   = "policy-8675309"
+    policy = data.aws_iam_policy_document.inline_policy.json # (not shown)
+  }
+
+  managed_policy_arns = []
+}

+
+## Why
+
+The `inline_policy` and `managed_policy_arns` arguments are both deprecated since late 2024.
+
+## How To Fix
+
+For managing a role's inline policy, use the [aws_iam_role_policy](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/iam_role_policy) resource instead.
+For attaching managed policies to a role, use the [aws_iam_role_policy_attachment](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/iam_role_policy_attachment) resource.
