Control: Ensure IAM policies that allow full "*:*" administrative privileges are not attached

Description

IAM policies are the means by which privileges are granted to users, groups, or roles. It is recommended and considered a standard security advice to grant least privilege -that is, granting only the permissions required to perform a task. Determine what users need to do and then craft policies for them that let the users perform only those tasks, instead of allowing full administrative privileges.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.iam_policy_all_attached_no_star_star

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe login
powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.iam_policy_all_attached_no_star_star --share

SQL

This control uses a named query:

iam_policy_all_attached_no_star_star
