Monitoring & Observability: Switch between the hub and domains

Can change permissions or pass roles: 11 of 132 policies: 0 unrestricted, 11 scoped or conditional. These grants let a principal change who has access, or hand a role to a service. AWS advises restricting them, and notes that passing any role can lead to unintended privilege escalation.

Data access: 72 of 132 policies: 59 write, 13 read only, 0 list only. Counts policies that grant actions AWS marks as operating on data held in a resource. Some granted actions are not yet classified by AWS.

Monitoring & Observability policies

Metrics, logs, traces and application and network monitoring.

132 AWS managed policies. 7 have reviewed guidance; the rest have authoritative permission data pending editorial review. 57 are service-linked role policies, shown with permission data only.
