IAM user, role, or group has a full-privilege AWS-managed policy attached (AdministratorAccess or IAMFullAccess)

AWS_OPS_036 CRITICAL Security

What it checks

The authored attachment names AdministratorAccess or IAMFullAccess.

Where it applies

Terraform: aws_iam_user_policy_attachment, aws_iam_role_policy_attachment, aws_iam_group_policy_attachment, aws_iam_policy_attachment, aws_iam_role_policy_attachments_exclusive, aws_iam_user_policy_attachments_exclusive, aws_iam_group_policy_attachments_exclusive, aws_iam_role

CloudFormation: AWS::IAM::Role

How to fix it

  1. Replace AdministratorAccess with a scoped managed policy. Use AWS Access Analyzer to identify minimum required permissions from CloudTrail.
