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: Yes, to users, groups and roles.

Why this tier

  • Grants at least 80% of the write and permissions-management actions of: drs (73 of 73).
  • Grants iam:PassRole, but only for scoped roles or under conditions (for example iam:PassedToService).
  • 33 granted write or permissions-management actions have no data-plane classification from AWS, so the data-plane rule cannot assess them.
