"Secure Access with Flexible Control"
5/5
What do you like best about AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)?

Another thing I like the most is AWS IAM's temporary credentials support model, which adds value to automation by utilizing short-lived credentials, thereby reducing the risk of exposure and enhancing security.

What do you dislike about AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)?

IAM policies rely on a JSON-based approach that can feel opaque to beginners and even to experienced engineers. It’s difficult to visualize who has access to what, and small misconfigurations can carry major security implications. Overall, navigating IAM still feels dated.
