Pijin cara garap IAM roles lan policies kanthi mendalam?

Question

Accepted Answer

Lumajer saka IAM dhasar, mangerteni **roles** (identitas sing diasumsi), **policy types lan evaluation** (cara permissions ditentukan), lan pola kaya **cross-account access** lan **service roles** penting kanggo secure, well-architected AWS access management.

## Roles kanthi mendalam — sapa sing nganggep apa

```text
A ROLE has TWO key policies:
  TRUST POLICY → WHO can assume the role (which principals: a service, account, user)
  PERMISSION POLICIES → WHAT the role can do once assumed
Use cases:
  → SERVICE roles — an EC2/Lambda assumes a role to access AWS (no embedded keys)
  → CROSS-ACCOUNT — account B's role trusts account A → A's users assume it (controlled access)
  → FEDERATION/SSO — external identities assume roles (temporary credentials)
→ Roles give TEMPORARY credentials (auto-rotated) — far safer than long-lived keys.
```

## Policy types

```text
IDENTITY-BASED → attached to users/groups/roles (what THEY can do)
RESOURCE-BASED → attached to a resource (e.g. an S3 bucket policy: who can access IT)
PERMISSION BOUNDARIES → a max-permissions limit on an identity (cap delegated permissions)
SCPs (Service Control Policies) → org-wide guardrails (limit what accounts can do)
→ Effective permissions = the combination, with rules for how they interact.
```

## Policy evaluation (cara akses diputuske)

```text
1. Explicit DENY anywhere → DENIED (deny always wins)
2. Else, an explicit ALLOW (from identity/resource policy) within bounds → ALLOWED
3. Else (no allow) → DENIED (default deny)
→ Default deny; explicit deny overrides any allow; you need an allow + no deny + within
  any boundaries/SCPs.
```

## Apa wigati

Mangerteni IAM roles lan policies kanthi mendalam penting kanggo **secure, well-architected AWS access management**, mula knowledge punika berharga lumajer saka IAM basics.

Mangerteni **roles kanthi mendalam** — **trust policy** (sapa bisa nganggep role) lan **permission policies** (apa bisa ditindakake) — kunci kanggo pattern akses secure paling penting: **service roles** (ngliloni EC2 instances lan Lambda functions ngakses AWS resources nganggo temporary, auto-rotated credentials tinimbang long-lived keys embedded — praktik security kritis), **cross-account access** (akses terkontrol antarane AWS accounts nganggo role assumption), lan **federation/SSO** (external identities nganggep roles kanggo akses temporary).

Roles nyedhiyakke temporary credentials tinimbang long-lived keys minangka improvement security fundamental.

Mangerteni **policy types** — identity-based (apa users/roles bisa ditindakake), resource-based (kaya S3 bucket policies ngontrol sapa bisa ngakses resource), permission boundaries (ngubat delegated permissions), lan SCPs (organization-wide guardrails) — perlu kanggo sophisticated access control ing organisasi nyata.

Mangerteni **policy evaluation logic** (default deny; explicit deny endi-endi tansah menang; butuh explicit allow ing boundaries lan ora ana deny) essential kanggo alasan bener ngenani apa permissions tenan mak hasil — sumber kebingungan umum dimana missunderstanding ndadekke akses overly-broad (security risk) utawa denials unexpected (operational friction).

Amarga secure access management kritis kanggo AWS security (lan IAM misconfigurations leading cause breaches), lan amarga mangerteni roles deeply (kanggo secure credential-free access patterns), policy types (kanggo layered control), lan policy evaluation (kanggo bener reasoning ngenani permissions) perlu kanggo well-architected, secure access, mangerteni IAM roles lan policies kanthi mendalam valuable, practically-important AWS knowledge kanggo security — nbangun ing IAM basics ngliloni secure access patterns lan correct permission reasoning sing professional AWS security merlu, area penting dimana depth understanding langsung kena security posture.
