securing-aws-iam-permissions
Hardens AWS IAM configurations to enforce least-privilege access, covering IAM policy scoping, permission boundaries, IAM Access Analyzer integration, and credential rotation strategies. Use when reducing the blast radius of compromised AWS identities, auditing overly permissive IAM policies, or setting up permission boundaries and Access Analyzer findings review across cloud accounts.

# Securing AWS IAM Permissions
## When to Use
- When onboarding new AWS accounts or workloads that require scoped IAM policies
- When IAM Access Analyzer reports overly permissive policies or unused permissions
- When preparing for a compliance audit requiring least privilege evidence (SOC 2, PCI-DSS)
- When migrating from long-lived access keys to short-lived role-based credentials
- When remediating findings from AWS Security Hub related to IAM misconfigurations
**Do not use** for Azure AD or Google Cloud IAM configurations, application-level authorization logic, or federated identity provider setup (see managing-cloud-identity-with-okta).
