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 switch off security monitoring
Can delete an IAM Access Analyzer, which is how an intruder hides.
access-analyzer:DeleteAnalyzer (via access-analyzer:*)
Use with caution: Deny these actions with an SCP for everyone outside a break-glass role, so no single policy can blind you.
Medium
Full access-analyzer access on every resource
Uses access-analyzer:* with Resource "*" and no condition, so every action AWS adds to that service later is granted too.
access-analyzer:*
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.
