Show Notes

We compare traditional Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to modern Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) using aws:PrincipalTag.

Key Takeaways

  • ABAC uses resource and principal tags to determine access dynamically.
  • Permission boundaries prevent privilege escalation by IAM admins.
  • Always enforce MFA on sensitive cross-account role assumptions.
