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 2 permissions management actions on IAM, IAM Identity Center or Organizations, on any resource with no condition.
sso:associateprofilesso:disassociateprofile
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
Can take over other users or roles
Grants the actions of 1 documented escalation path, but only on named resources or under a condition. Review that scope before trusting it.
- sts-001sts:AssumeRolescoped
  - sts:AssumeRole: condition aws:ResourceAccount, on arn:aws:iam::*:role/AmazonQuickSuiteAccessRole
Use with caution: Check which roles, users or policies fall inside the scope shown above. Within it the escalation works as documented, so keep privileged principals out of it.
Medium
Can rewrite resource policies and sharing
Grants 18 permissions management actions across 1 service (quicksight) on any resource, enough to share resources outside the account.
quicksight:createiampolicyassignmentquicksight:deleteiampolicyassignmentquicksight:updateactionconnectorpermissionsquicksight:updateagentpermissionsquicksight:updateanalysispermissionsquicksight:updateapppermissionsquicksight:updatedashboardpermissionsquicksight:updatedatasetpermissionsquicksight:updatedatasourcepermissionsquicksight:updateextensionpermissionsquicksight:updateflowpermissionsquicksight:updatefolderpermissionsand 6 more
Use with caution: Turn on IAM Access Analyzer external access findings, and keep account-level guards like S3 Block Public Access enabled.
Medium
Full quicksight access on every resource
Uses quicksight:* with Resource "*" and no condition, so every action AWS adds to that service later is granted too.
quicksight:*
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.
