IAM policies

IAM policies are rules that control who can access and do what within a cloud system. Think of them as permission guidelines—defining which users or services can view, modify, or manage resources like files, settings, or applications. These policies help ensure that only authorized individuals can perform sensitive actions, enhancing security and organization. They can be tailored to fit specific needs, granting broad or very specific permissions, and are essential for managing access responsibly in a digital environment.
