IAM policy to grant permissions to all DynamoDB actions on a table

Focus mode
IAM policy to grant permissions to all DynamoDB actions on a table - Amazon DynamoDB

The following policy grants permissions for all DynamoDB actions on a table called Books. The resource ARN specified in the Resource identifies a table in a specific AWS Region. If you replace the table name Books in the Resource ARN with a wildcard character (*), all DynamoDB actions are allowed on all tables in the account. Carefully consider the possible security implications before using a wildcard character on this or any IAM policy.

{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "AllAPIActionsOnBooks", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "dynamodb:*", "Resource": "arn:aws:dynamodb:us-west-2:123456789012:table/Books" } ] }
Note

This is an example of using a wildcard character (*) to allow all actions, including administration, data operations, monitoring, and purchase of DynamoDB reserved capacity. Instead, it is a best practice to explicitly specify each action to be granted and only what that user, role, or group needs.
