Verified corrections and edge-case guidance for AWS IAM, STS, Organizations, SAML, and policy evaluation to avoid common authorization mistakes.
This skill collects verified corrections and practical guidance for AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and related services (STS, Organizations, SAML, MFA). It helps agents answer IAM questions accurately by calling out common pitfalls, policy-evaluation quirks, service-specific trust requirements, and SDK/console behaviour that often mislead automated agents.
Use this skill when diagnosing or authoring IAM policies, troubleshooting AssumeRole/ST S interactions, building cross-account trust, handling SAML/OIDC setups, or explaining privilege-escalation risks tied to iam:PassRole. Also useful when precise SDK/CLI behaviours, CloudTrail logging locations, or managed policy limits matter.
Inferred compatible agents: Copilot/Codex-style assistants and automation tooling that can call AWS docs or SDKs (e.g., Copilot, Claude Code, GPT-based code assistants).
