Risk
MediumThe same capabilities in a scoped form, resource policy writes, reads across all data, or full access to a whole service. Read from this policy document alone: trust policies, boundaries and SCPs in your account still decide what actually succeeds. How this is assessed
- Medium
Can rewrite resource policies and sharing
Grants 9 permissions management actions across 1 service (iot) on any resource, enough to share resources outside the account.
