Amazon managed policies
Managed policies are standalone identity-based policies that you can attach to multiple users, groups, and roles in your Amazon account. You can use Amazon managed policies to control access in Billing.
An Amazon managed policy is a standalone policy that's created and administered by Amazon. Amazon managed policies are designed to provide permissions for many common use cases. Amazon managed policies make it easier for you to assign appropriate permissions to users, groups, and roles than if you had to write the policies yourself.
You can't change the permissions defined in Amazon managed policies. Amazon occasionally updates the permissions that are defined in an Amazon managed policy. When this occurs, the update affects all principal entities (users, groups, and roles) that the policy is attached to.
Billing provides several Amazon managed policies for common use cases.
