Resource scope and attachment

Why this tier

Grants 4 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).
Grants permissions-management actions on iam, but only for scoped resources or under conditions.
