Overview of Identity Policies

Overview

Identity policies provide fine-grained permissions control and are more flexible and secure than roles and policies. You can authorize a user by attaching an identity policy to it. User-specific authorization and a variety of key conditions allow for more fine-grained permissions control. However, this model can be hard to set up. It requires a certain amount of expertise and is suitable for medium- and large-sized enterprises.
