Permissions Query Attributes

Learn about permissions query attributes.

Review your options when using config from iam where. Each attribute allows you to narrow your search criteria. As you use these attributes, the auto-suggestion feature shows the available expressions and the operators that are applicable for each attribute.

• Source—an identity that takes action on other cloud resources. A source can be any resource with permissions such as an AWS IAM Role, IAM user, Azure Active Directory user, EC2 instance, Lambda function, and Azure virtual machine.
• Destination—any cloud resource on which an action has occurred on or is the target of the action.
• Granter—the group, role, or policy that grants permissions to the source to interact with the destination.

For example, an IAM user (source) who can add an entry to a DynamoDB table (destination) using the AWS managed policy of the group (granter entity) to which the user belongs.

You can use the following attributes in the permissions query:

• source.cloud.account

  Use the following to find cross-account connection:

  config from iam where source.cloud.account != dest.cloud.account

• source.cloud.account.isvendor
