Using access points in IAM policies

You can use an IAM policy to enforce that a specific NFS client, identified by its IAM role, can only access a specific access point. To do this, you use the elasticfilesystem:AccessPointArn IAM condition key. The AccessPointArn is the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the access point that the file system is mounted with.

Following is an example of a file system policy that allows the IAM role app1 to access the file system using access point fsap-01234567. The policy also allows app2 to use the file system using access point fsap-89abcdef.
