Amazon managed policies for Amazon RAM

Amazon Resource Access Manager currently provides several Amazon RAM managed policies, which are described in this topic.

In the preceding list, you can attach the first three policies to your IAM roles, groups, and users to grant permissions. The last policy in the list is reserved for the Amazon RAM service's service-linked role.

An Amazon managed policy is a standalone policy that is created and administered by Amazon. Amazon managed policies are designed to provide permissions for many common use cases so that you can start assigning permissions to users, groups, and roles.

Keep in mind that Amazon managed policies might not grant least-privilege permissions for your specific use cases because they're available for all Amazon customers to use. We recommend that you reduce permissions further by defining customer managed policies that are specific to your use cases.

You cannot change the permissions defined in Amazon managed policies. If Amazon updates the permissions defined in an Amazon managed policy, the update affects all principal identities (users, groups, and roles) that the policy is attached to. Amazon is most likely to update an Amazon managed policy when a new Amazon Web Service is launched or new API operations become available for existing services.

For more information, see Amazon managed policies in the IAM User Guide.

Amazon managed policy: AWSResourceAccessManagerServiceRolePolicy

The Amazon managed policy AWSResourceAccessManagerServiceRolePolicycan be used only with the service-linked role for Amazon RAM. You can't attach, detach, modify, or delete this policy.

This policy provides Amazon RAM with read-only access to your organization's structure. When you enable integration between Amazon RAM and Amazon Organizations, Amazon RAM automatically creates a service-linked role named AWSServiceRoleForResourceAccessManager that the service assumes when it needs to look up information about your organization and its accounts, for example, when you view the organization's structure in the Amazon RAM console.

It does this by granting read-only permission to run the organizations:Describe and organizations:List operations that provide details of the organization's structure and accounts.
