The AWS Security Digest newsletter shared a great resource this week related to AWS IAM Policies called Cloud Copilot! (Link in the comments) Here’s an overview of three sections that stood out to me. — IAM Expand Tool — All you do is add IAM permissions, JSON policy docs, terraform, etc. and it will expand your content. For example, `iam:List*` expands to the 36 applicable actions `s3:Get?????*` expands to the 58 applicable actions e.g., `s3:GetAccessPointConfigurationForObjectLambda` — IAM Shrink Tool — This does the opposite of the Expand tool and will assess opportunities to consolidate IAM actions. For example, From this ``` s3:GetAccelerateConfiguration s3:GetAccessGrant s3:GetAccessGrantsInstance s3:ListBucket s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads s3:ListBucketVersions ``` To this ``` s3:GetAccelerate* s3:Get*Instance s3:ListBucket s3:*Versions s3:Get*Grant s3:*Uploads ``` Of course, you do want to be careful using wildcards in case new actions become available. This could lead to unintended consequences. — AWS IAM Policy Condition Operators Explained —  According to this resource, they’ve documented “every possible operator with example policies showing how they impact Allow and Deny statements.” Not quite sure what `ForAnyValue: StringNotEqualsIgnoreCaseIfExists` does? It explains it and provides examples.
