Services

cloudformation, iam, lambda, logs, resource-groups, s3, ssm

Control-plane actions (170)

By access level: 23 List, 16 Permissions management, 68 Read, 13 Tagging, 50 Write.

Data-plane actions (19)

By access level: 3 List, 2 Permissions management, 8 Read, 2 Tagging, 4 Write.

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 87 write, tagging or permissions-management actions, short of full control of any service.
• 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.
