Guidance

Practical scope

One statement allows ram:* on Resource "*", with no Condition. The AWS RAM User Guide describes it as granting permission to run any ram operations.

Use cases

  • View or modify any information about the resource shares that are owned by your AWS account.

Best practices

  • AWS managed policies don't grant least privilege permissions. The IAM User Guide suggests using IAM Access Analyzer to see which permissions principals actually use, then writing a custom policy or generating one with only the required permissions.

Security considerations

  • ram:* allows every AWS RAM action on all resources. The AWS RAM User Guide says the policy lets principals view or modify any information about the resource shares owned by the account.
  • You cannot change the permissions in an AWS managed policy. If AWS updates the policy, the update affects every user, group and role it is attached to.

Assignment guidance

You can attach this policy to your users, groups and roles. The reference page also links to guidance on creating a permission set using AWS managed policies in IAM Identity Center. It fits where full AWS RAM access is intended. Where a narrower scope is needed, AWS recommends customer managed policies specific to your use cases.

Frequently asked questions

When should I attach AWSResourceAccessManagerFullAccess?
The AWS RAM User Guide says you can attach it to your IAM identities and that it provides full administrative access to view or modify the resource shares owned by your AWS account. Attach it where that scope is intended. If someone needs less, AWS recommends customer managed policies specific to your use cases.
What does AWSResourceAccessManagerFullAccess grant?
It allows ram:* on all resources, which the AWS RAM User Guide describes as permission to run any ram operations on the resource shares owned by the account.
What are the security risks of AWSResourceAccessManagerFullAccess?
ram:* allows every AWS RAM action on all resources and the policy has no condition. AWS managed policies do not grant least privilege permissions, and an AWS update to the policy affects every identity it is attached to.
