Why this tier

• Grants at least 80% of the write and permissions-management actions of: elasticbeanstalk (26 of 26).
• Grants data-plane write actions on a data store, but only for scoped resources or under conditions.
• Grants iam:PassRole, but only for scoped roles or under conditions (for example iam:PassedToService).
• Grants permissions-management actions on iam, but only for scoped resources or under conditions.
