Learn how to use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to create a new role and policy!

You manage access in AWS by creating policies and attaching them to IAM identities (users, groups of users, or roles) or AWS resources. A policy is an object in AWS that, when associated with an identity or resource, defines their permissions. AWS evaluates these policies when an IAM principal (user or role) makes a request.

Permissions in the policies determine whether the request is allowed or denied. Most policies are stored in AWS as JSON documents. AWS supports six types of policies: identity-based policies, resource-based policies, permissions boundaries, Organizations SCPs, ACLs, and session policies.

Hey Mike

Im new to aws whole thing
And I have some question related to a task I should do


So I have been asked to use S3 buckets to store different types of data
Images / audio, video files / documents
Etc

And then apply other services to get insights and making smthg like a question answering model / make transcriptions for audio files


And then wrap it all with a web interface to let normal users access this data

How can we make a policy for a single user to use the AWS resources in 1 region only?

I added the wrong policy to a role, is there a way to remove that policy.

I realized in a few minutes, this was not useful for me. At most all companies, leadership doesn't allow just giving every policy full permissions on services, unless this is a video on what IAM is generally, you need to use the Least Privilege Model. The title of this video should have the phrase "Beginner overview".
