Services

cloudformation, dynamodb, ec2, iam, kms, logs, s3, secretsmanager

Control-plane actions (122)

By access level: 32 List, 4 Permissions management, 16 Read, 6 Tagging, 64 Write.

Data-plane actions (7)

By access level: 2 List, 2 Read, 3 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 77 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).
