How can you use IAM policies and permissions boundaries to enforce the principle of least privilege?

Question

Prajna G · Accepted Answer

You can use **IAM policies** to grant only the necessary permissions to users, groups, or roles, while **permissions boundaries** act as an additional layer to limit the maximum permissions a user or role can have, ensuring the principle of least privilege is enforced even if broader permissions are assigned.

Nikitha Acharya · Answer

IAM policies define permissions for users or roles, while permissions boundaries set limits on the maximum permissions that an entity can have, together enforcing the principle of least privilege by restricting access to only what is necessary.
