Service control policies (SCPs) for Amazon Q Developer

Service control policies (SCPs) are a type of organization policy that you can use to manage permissions in your organization. SCPs offer central control over the maximum available permissions for the IAM users and IAM roles in your organization. For more information, Service control policies (SCPs) in the AWS Organizations User Guide.

SCPs for Amazon Q Developer function similarly to channel guardrail policies, but are implemented on the organization level. You can use SCPs to secure your organizations by restricting what APIs can be used to configure Amazon Q Developer and which services and operations can be run using Amazon Q Developer. This doesn’t impact resources that are already created or the ability to respond to commands in chat channels.

The global condition key, aws:ChatbotSourceArn, is attached to all sessions created through Amazon Q Developer. You can use this condition key to restrict which Amazon Q Developer API operations can be run using Amazon Q Developer as opposed to other platforms such as the CLI or console.
