Frequently Asked Questions

What security issues does it detect?

It flags wildcard resources (Resource: *), overly broad actions (Action: *), full admin access (AdministratorAccess), and policies that grant access to sensitive services like IAM, STS, or Organizations without restrictions.

What format should the policy be in?

Paste the IAM policy as valid JSON. This can be an inline policy, an attached managed policy, or the policy document from the AWS IAM console.

Does it check for SCP or permission boundary issues?

The analyzer focuses on IAM policy content — wildcard detection, action breadth, and resource scope. For SCP and permission boundary analysis, use the AWS Policy Simulator.

Can it fix the policy for me?

No. It identifies issues and provides recommendations. You must manually edit the policy in the AWS IAM console or via CLI to apply the suggested fixes.

Is my policy data stored or transmitted?

No. All analysis runs locally in your browser. Your IAM policy JSON is never sent to any server.
