Package accessanalyzer provides the API client, operations, and parameter types
for Access Analyzer.
Identity and Access Management Access Analyzer helps you to set, verify, and
refine your IAM policies by providing a suite of capabilities. Its features
include findings for external and unused access, basic and custom policy checks
for validating policies, and policy generation to generate fine-grained
policies. To start using IAM Access Analyzer to identify external or unused
access, you first need to create an analyzer. External access analyzers help
identify potential risks of accessing resources by enabling you to identify any
resource policies that grant access to an external principal. It does this by
using logic-based reasoning to analyze resource-based policies in your Amazon
Web Services environment. An external principal can be another Amazon Web
Services account, a root user, an IAM user or role, a federated user, an Amazon
Web Services service, or an anonymous user. You can also use IAM Access Analyzer
to preview public and cross-account access to your resources before deploying
permissions changes. Unused access analyzers help identify potential identity
access risks by enabling you to identify unused IAM roles, unused access keys,
unused console passwords, and IAM principals with unused service and
action-level permissions. Beyond findings, IAM Access Analyzer provides basic
and custom policy checks to validate IAM policies before deploying permissions
changes. You can use policy generation to refine permissions by attaching a
policy generated using access activity logged in CloudTrail logs. This guide
describes the IAM Access Analyzer operations that you can call programmatically.
