AWS managed policies for Amazon Detective

An AWS managed policy is a standalone policy that is created and administered by AWS. AWS 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 AWS managed policies might not grant least-privilege permissions for your specific use cases because they're available for all AWS 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 AWS managed policies. If AWS updates the permissions defined in an AWS managed policy, the update affects all principal identities (users, groups, and roles) that the policy is attached to. AWS is most likely to update an AWS managed policy when a new AWS service is launched or new API operations become available for existing services.

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

AWS managed policy: AmazonDetectiveFullAccess

You can attach the AmazonDetectiveFullAccess policy to your IAM identities.

This policy grants administrative permissions that allow a principal full access to all Amazon Detective actions. You can attach this policy to a principal before they enable Detective for their account. It must also be attached to the role that is used to run the Detective Python scripts to create and manage a behavior graph.

Principals with these permissions can manage member accounts, add tags to their behavior graph, and use Detective for investigation. They can also archive GuardDuty findings. The policy provides permissions that the Detective console needs to display account names for accounts that are in AWS Organizations.
