Services

ec2, iam, outposts, secretsmanager, ssm, ssmmessages

Control-plane actions (35)

By access level: 11 List, 4 Read, 2 Tagging, 18 Write.

Data-plane actions (0)

By access level: none.

This policy grants no actions in this plane.

Excluded and conditional actions

No patterns are excluded by NotAction or Deny statements.

Resource scope and attachment

Resource scope across granted actions: mixed.

Can be attached: No (service-linked role policy).

Why this tier

• Grants 20 write, tagging or permissions-management actions, short of full control of any service.
• Grants iam:PassRole, but only for scoped roles or under conditions (for example iam:PassedToService).
