Which IAM role that grants permissions to an AWS service so it can access AWS resources?
Permissions let you specify access to AWS resources. Permissions are granted to IAM entities (users, groups, and roles) and by default these entities start with no permissions. In other words, IAM entities can do nothing in AWS until you grant them your desired permissions. To give entities permissions, you can attach a policy that specifies the type of access, the
actions that can be performed, and the resources on which the actions can be performed. In addition, you can specify any conditions that must be set for access to be allowed or denied. Show AWS identity: Next-generation permission management (30:58) To assign permissions to a user, group, role, or resource, you create a policy that lets you specify:
You create policies by using either the visual editor or JSON. A policy consists of one or more statements, each of which describes one set of permissions. To learn more about the policy language, see IAM Policy Reference. The visual editor guides you through granting permissions by using IAM policies without requiring you to write the policies in JSON (although you can still author and edit policies in JSON, if you prefer). The policy in the following screenshot was created with the visual editor. It grants five Amazon S3 List and Read actions to the S3
bucket and objects in SampleBucket if the prefix starts with MyPrefix. If you use the AWS Management Console to manage permissions, you can view policy summaries. A policy summary lists the access level, resources, and conditions for each service defined in a policy (see the following screenshot for an example). To help you understand the permissions defined in a policy, each AWS service’s actions are categorized in four access levels: List, Read, Write, and Permissions management. You can select a predefined policy managed by AWS or create your own using the policy generator. For more information, see the Overview of IAM Policies section of the Using IAM guide.

For example, a third party might provide a service for managing your AWS resources. With IAM roles, you can grant these third parties access to your AWS resources without sharing your AWS security credentials. Instead, the third party can access your AWS resources by assuming a role that you create in your AWS account. To learn whether principals in accounts outside of your zone of trust (trusted organization or account) have access to assume your roles, see What is IAM Access Analyzer?. Third parties must provide you with the following information for you to create a role that they can assume:
After you create the role, you must provide the role's Amazon Resource Name (ARN) to the third party. They require your role's ARN in order to assume the role. For details about creating a role to delegate access to a third party, see How to use an external ID when granting access to your AWS resources to a third party. When you grant third parties access to your AWS resources, they can access any resource that you specify in the policy. Their use of your resources is billed to you. Ensure that you limit their use of your resources appropriately. How can you access IAM permissions for your AWS resources?You manage access in AWS by creating policies and attaching them to IAM identities (users, groups of users, or roles) or AWS resources. A policy is an object in AWS that, when associated with an identity or resource, defines their permissions.
Which of the following is used to grant users access to resources in IAM?In Identity and Access Management (IAM), access is granted through allow policies, also known as IAM policies. An allow policy is attached to a Google Cloud resource. Each allow policy contains a collection of role bindings that associate one or more principals, such as users or service accounts, with an IAM role.
What is the best way to grant permissions to other AWS services?To assign permissions to a user, group, role, or resource, you create a policy that lets you specify: Actions – Which AWS service actions you allow. For example, you might allow a user to call the Amazon S3 ListBucket action. Any actions that you don't explicitly allow are denied.
Which basic permissions allows you to change access permissions on resources?All the Viewer role permissions, plus permissions for actions that modify state, such as changing existing resources. Note: The roles/editor role contains permissions to create and delete resources for most Firebase products and services.
