Services

cloudwatch, ec2, elasticmapreduce, iam, s3

Control-plane actions (60)

By access level: 17 List, 1 Permissions management, 15 Read, 2 Tagging, 25 Write.

Data-plane actions (1)

By access level: 1 Read.

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: Yes, to users, groups and roles.

Why this tier

• Grants 28 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).
