Hi, the policy generator that you used is a helper to create json with proper syntax but it doesn't create them in IAM. You have to do it yourself by copying and pasting the generated policies to the AWS IAM console of your accounts after you chose which users to attribute those policies to.
The documentation on how to change permissions of a given user: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_change-permissions.html
Hope it helps

I know it doesn't create them, I did the copy and paste and set the users up right. The users have the access I gave them. For example they can put the right kinds of file in the right folders in the right S3 buckets. The problem is that I can't find my way back to see what permissions the user has. When I look at the user in IAM, it looks like they have no permissions. I can't find where the permissions I previously defined for them are.

I'm an idiot. The permissions were attached to the resources, not the users. But that feels counterintuitive that a user can have permission to access stuff but you can't see what resources a user has access to in IAM.
