Why this tier

Grants 9 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).
