iam:GetAccountSummary action does not seem to be included as part of iam:Get* action

Question

I have provided the user with IAMReadOnlyAccess. When this user logs in to the console and accesses IAM Dashboard an error comes up with the message that the user does not have access to iam:GetAccountSummary. I had to create a separate policy to provide this access as following

{
	"Version": "2012-10-17",
	"Statement": [
		{
			"Sid": "VisualEditor0",
			"Effect": "Allow",
			"Action": "iam:GetAccountSummary",
			"Resource": "*"
		}
	]
}

Why this permission is required separately even though a user has been assigned the built-in policy IAMReadOnlyAccess?

Answer

Hello.

I also created an IAM user using "IAMReadOnlyAccess" and was able to display it successfully.  
After attaching the IAM policy, why not refresh your browser or wait a while before accessing?
