No matter how you like to participate in developer communities, Pulumi wants to meet you there. If you want to meet other Pulumi users to share use-cases and best practices, contribute code or documentation, see us at an event, or just tell a story about something cool you did with Pulumi, you are part of our community.

You cannot turn an output into string. You can transform the output into a new value by writing code inside the callback to apply. 

For a policy document, you will want your apply callback to construct the document and then lass the resulting output (now representing the document) as an input to a resource. 

See <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#outputs> for more details.
