Risk

High

An unrestricted escalation path, identity administration, secret reads or the power to switch off security monitoring. Read from this policy document alone: trust policies, boundaries and SCPs in your account still decide what actually succeeds. How this is assessed

High
Can change identities and their permissions
Grants 5 permissions management actions on IAM, IAM Identity Center or Organizations, on any resource with no condition.
organizations:attachpolicyorganizations:deleteresourcepolicyorganizations:detachpolicyorganizations:putresourcepolicyorganizations:updatepolicy
Use with caution: Grant it only to identity administrators, and protect your admin roles and SCPs with a permissions boundary or an SCP of their own.
Medium
Full organizations access on every resource
Uses organizations:* with Resource "*" and no condition, so every action AWS adds to that service later is granted too.
organizations:*
Use with caution: The grant grows every time the service does. For long-lived access, prefer a policy that lists the actions you actually need.
