What's new at AWS

ABAC is an authorization strategy that defines access permissions based on tags attached used to configure access permissions and policies to users, roles, and various AWS resources.

πŸ”” Tag-based access conditions can be used to allow or deny specific actions, when AWS IAM) principals’ tags match the tags on an Amazon DynamoDB table.

πŸ”” AWS IAM Principals:
βœ” AWS Account and Root user
βœ” IAM Users and Federated user
βœ” IAM Roles
βœ” AWS services
βœ” Except IAM Group.

πŸ”” Benefits of IAM ABAC:
βœ” Customers can now set more granular access permissions based on your organizational structures.
βœ” Most importantly, ABAC allows customers to scale tags-based permissions to new employees and changing resource structures, without rewriting policies as organizations grow.

πŸ”” ABAC for Amazon DynamoDB is now available in limited preview in the Ohio, Virginia and N. California Regions only.
