Amazon Web Services AWS Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Question # 282 Topic 29 Discussion

An IAM policy is a document that defines the permissions for an IAM identity (such as a user, group, or role). You can use IAM policies to grant permissions to existing users and groups based on department. You can create an IAM policy that grants least privilege permission, which means that you only grant the minimum permissions required for the users to perform their tasks. You can then attach the policy to the IAM groups, which will apply the policy to all the users in those groups. This solution will reduce operational costs and simplify configuration and management of permissions.References:https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html
