Customize the scope of IAM Access Analyzer unused access analysis

This article discusses how to customize the scope of IAM Access Analyzer's unused access analysis in AWS to improve security and reduce noise in findings.

• IAM Access Analyzer now allows customization of unused access analysis by excluding specific accounts and roles
• Users can exclude AWS accounts, such as sandbox accounts, from the analysis
• Specific IAM roles and users can be excluded using tags
• Exclusions can be configured through AWS Management Console or AWS CLI
• The goal is to help organizations focus on the most relevant security insights

By tailoring the unused access analyzer, organizations can more effectively implement the principle of least privilege and reduce unnecessary security findings.
