This article introduces attribute-based access control (ABAC) for Amazon DynamoDB, a new feature in limited preview. ABAC allows defining permissions based on attributes (tags) attached to IAM entities and DynamoDB resources.

Specifically, the article covers:

  • Benefits of using ABAC with DynamoDB, such as fewer policies, automatic permission management, alignment with corporate directory, and improved auditing
  • Example use cases of restricting actions based on tag conditions
  • Auditing policies before enabling ABAC to avoid authorization changes
  • How to sign up for the limited preview of ABAC for DynamoDB
