Test and Debug IAM Policies with AWS IAM Policy Simulator

[@NaJoeLibre]

What a beast of a service. No more guessing about what went wrong access-wise!

[@milanamatya8359]

This would really help a lot. Thank you for sharing with a very nice explanation.

[@BeABetterDev]

You're very welcome Milan!

[@abdraoufx]

Your work and effort is much appreciated 👍

[@sankara-sabapathy]

Thank you so much. This tool can simply be shared, but I appreciate you went one step ahead and explained it as well. Dealing with numerous upstream and downstream system clients secrets. This will save my debugging time a lot.

[@BillyLongshot]

thanks that was really good. didn't know why my custom policy didn't apply to simulate against my s3 bucket

[@dlroWolleH]

My productivity just increased 10x

[@TheRed662]

Can I do the reverse? - if I know I need to write into a bucket can the tool give me prescriptive advice? It could be helpful while designing complex scenarios. Also, can it alert when the policy is allowing lot more than is needed?

[@DontTakeCrack]

anyone know how to deselect the user/group/role instead of refreshing the page?

[@AlvinC-sz3li]

This only works for basic auth, cannot test access to resources with resource policy, or resources with customized authorizer.

[@BeABetterDev]

Good callout!

This tool is from AWS itself? is it ok to use this in our work account ?

[@BeABetterDev]

Yep! Its created and maintained by AWS.
