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 8 write, tagging or permissions-management actions, short of full control of any service.
  • Grants permissions-management actions on iam, but only for scoped resources or under conditions.
