What is the difference between IAM policies and resource-based policies?

  • IAM policies are attached to identities, while resource-based policies are attached to resources
  • IAM policies are managed by AWS, while resource-based policies are managed by users
  • IAM policies are only applicable to S3 buckets, while resource-based policies apply to other AWS services
  • IAM policies control network traffic, while resource-based policies control resource configurations
IAM policies control access to AWS services and resources, specifying what actions are allowed or denied for IAM users, groups, or roles. Resource-based policies, on the other hand, are attached directly to resources like S3 buckets or Lambda functions, controlling access from other accounts or services.
