How to automate the review and validation of permissions for users and groups in AWS IAM Identity Center

Blog



This article explains how to automate the review and validation of IAM Identity Center permissions using AWS serverless services.

  • Automates permission audits for users and groups across multiple AWS accounts
  • Uses EventBridge, Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, and S3 for the workflow
  • Generates CSV reports detailing user/group assignments, permission sets, and policies
  • Supports scheduled reviews via cron expressions or manual execution
  • Deploys via AWS SAM CLI with CloudFormation template
  • Sends email notifications with S3 report location upon completion
  • Reports include inline, AWS managed, and customer managed policies

This solution helps security teams maintain least privilege access and audit compliance by automating permission reviews that would otherwise be time-consuming manual tasks.
