Topics
IAM Policies and Types 
What is ARN ?
IAM Group
Inline Policies, 
permission boundaries

What is ARN ?
ARN full-form is Amazon Resource name
ARN is to uniquely identity the AWS resources.
Every AWS Resource Contains a unique ARN 
We use ARN in for different use cases like IAM roles creation policies creation ..etc 

IAM USER  ARN  : ccitdeveloper is the user, 216989104632 (12 digit AWS account id),iam (resource type),aws(provider)
arn:aws:iam::216989104632:user/ccitdeveloper
S3 Bucket ARN :ccitbuckets3bucket(bucketname), ::: (::Global Service, one colon :region)
arn:aws:s3:::ccitbuckets3bucket
arn:partition:service:region:account-id,resource-type/resourceid

Partition (aws- aws Regions, aws-cn -chain Region,aws-us-gov -AWS Govcloud(US) region)
Region specific (S3,Ec2,IAM) ap-south-1.. etc 

What is a policy in IAM?
->Im simple words, policy is nothing but permission to use any service in aws 
->An aws policy define the permissions of an identity(users,groups, and roles) or resource within the aws account 
->An aws iam policy regulates access to aws resources to help ensure that only authorized users have access to specific digital assets 
->Most policies are written and stored in aws as Json documents .When you attach policy to an iam entity, such as a user,group,or role,it grants permissions to that entity.
Types of Policies 
We have multiple type of policies available in AWS IAM for different use cases 
-->Identity-based policies
-->Resource-based policies
-->Permission boundaries :
AWS 
-->Organization SCPS
-->Access controls(ACLS)
-->Session Policies

-->Identity-based policies are Json permission policies documents that control what actions and identity(users, group of users and roles ) can perform , on which resource ,and under what conditions)
Identity-based policies Categorized
Managed policies :managed  policies that are created and managed by AWS
Customized polices :Customer managed policies provides more precise control over your policies than AWS managed policies 
Inline policies:Policies that you add directly to a single user,group or role, inline policies maintain a strict one-to-one relationship between a policy and and identity ,they are deleted when you deleted the identity 
 

-->Resource-based policies (EC2,S3..etc)

-->Permission boundaries (we can put limitation to Iam user ):AWS Iam Permission Boundaries are an advanced feature in AWS identity and Access Management(IAM) that allow administrators to define the maximum level of permissions an IAM entity(like a user or role),can have. Permission boundaries are used to limit the effective permissions of the entity, even if the entity is grated more extensive permissions via policies.

-->Organization SCPS(Service control)

We have Assign policies to the different different team based on there responsibilities.
For ex:- Administrative team, database team,Development team,Billing team, Security team. like that.


Own Policy We can Write for example , if you want give S3 bucket give some permission to the developer, we will create our own policies and assign to the user those we call customer managed policy.

Practical : S3 Service Related Policy
Step1: Create user Policy , Give full access for the resource  and then click next

Created Custom managed policy 

Json :Statement Block Resource * mean allow all permission,
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "s3:*",
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

Step2: We can assigned these policy to one User ccitdeveloper, click next add permission ,
now the user can able to write,read the file into the bucket
Able to create bucket ccitdeveloper user and upload the file



First you need give first permission. List my bucket upto(1000 file you able view,remaining will be paging)and then on top of that you can give put ,get object permision.

Simple Json script below 
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:ListBucket"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

Step3: As you see below all list of bucket showing ,can you able to give specific resource bucket to the user 
See all buckets are showing, you can copy the bucket name and give to specific for the edit policy 

Click Add ARN Click next and save changes 


Here we can not able view other buckets to list, we can able stop the object permission only 

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
                "s3:ListBucket"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        },
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor1",
            "Effect": "Deny",
            "Action": [
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:ListBucket"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::ccitnewbucketcreated"
        }
    ]
}

User Group : Group of Users, give all required Permissions or policies
Create the ccitdev1,ccitdev2,ccitdev3 users click create user groups
and search the policy and attached to them

Given any name to the create user group click save


Now you see cccitdev1,ccitdev2,ccitdev3 has all these two permission,if you want remove one of the policy for the all user just edit remove one policy to user group, it will apply for all users automatically.


Permission Boundaries : Even user have user group permission, if you want limit his permission for the particular user on permission ,you give to the user
See below ccitdev1 has s3 full access, i have put limitation to the bounday read only access, click save 



Inline Policy : it is special policy one-to one user , it is separate for the user group 

Create inline Policy, and attached to the user

See below ,newly created one more policy ccitdev1_inline it has give special permission ec2 
for particular user , that is called customer inline policy
See here Ec2 special permission to the ccitdev1 user.
