Controlling access using Service Quotas tags

To control access to Service Quotas resources based on tags, you provide the tag information in the condition element of a policy using the aws:ResourceTag/key-name, aws:RequestTag/key-name, or aws:TagKeys condition keys. For more information about these condition keys, see Controlling access to Amazon resources using resource tags in the IAM User Guide.

For example, when you attach the following policy to an Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) role or user, that principal can request an increase to Amazon Athena applied quotas that are tagged with the tag key Owner and tag value admin.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": ["servicequotas:RequestServiceQuotaIncrease"],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:servicequotas:*:*:athena/*",
            "Condition": {
                "StringEquals": {"aws:ResourceTag/Owner": "admin"}
            }
        }
    ]
}

You can also attach tags to IAM principals to use attribute-based access control (ABAC). ABAC is an authorization strategy that defines permissions based on attributes. Tagging entities and resources is the first step of ABAC. Then you design ABAC policies to allow operations when the principal's tag matches the tag on the resource that they're trying to access. ABAC is helpful in environments that are growing rapidly and helps with situations where policy management becomes cumbersome.

For more information about ABAC, see What is ABAC? in the IAM User Guide. To view a tutorial with steps for setting up ABAC, see IAM tutorial: Define permissions to access Amazon resources based on tags in the IAM User Guide.
