Mastering Access Control Policies (SEC302) | AWS re:Invent 2013

This session will take an in-depth look at using the AWS Access Control Policy language. We will start with the basics of understanding the policy language and how to create policies for users and groups. Next we'll take a look at how to use policy variables to simplify the management of policies. Finally, we'll cover some of the common use cases such as granting a user secure access to an S3 bucket, allowing an IAM user to manage their own credentials and passwords, and more!

Good job, but, directions for the configuration need a re-write. Needs updating to ADFS 3 (2012 R2). I (like many others) get connection "SAML Errors" because connections details are random and vague. Author keeps referring to "see the IAM directions" as a way out. AWS gives really poor error reporting if one little thing is off. Personally, I am tired of having to load Firefox and SAML Tracer plugin to figure out not just AWS but other Vendor SAML errors. AWS does this. Always doing a 3 card Monty with programming mantra. Just give the directions clear and concise please. I don't need to know how it all works. Step 1, step 2, step 3 done!
