Rotate Credential Policy allows IAM users to rotate their own access keys, signing certificates, service-specific credentials, and passwords. This policy also grants the permissions necessary to complete this action on the console. Given below is an example for the same:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "iam:ListUsers",
                "iam:GetAccountPasswordPolicy"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "iam:*AccessKey*",
                "iam:ChangePassword",
                "iam:GetUser",
                "iam:*ServiceSpecificCredential*",
                "iam:*SigningCertificate*"
            ],
            "Resource": ["arn:aws:iam::*:user/${aws:username}"]
        }
    ]
}
