Description​

AWS IAM Policy is a document that defines permissions for AWS resources. It specifies actions users, groups, or roles can perform on specific resources under certain conditions. These policies control access to AWS services and operations, enhancing security by implementing the principle of least privilege. Administrators use IAM policies to manage and enforce access controls across their AWS environment.
