Explain
Every finding says exactly what to change: Replace AdministratorAccess on IAM role.
Fix
The finding opens with the fix already written out, step by step, so it is one ticket, not an investigation.
- Applies to
- IAM Roles on AWS
- The fix, by hand
- Go to IAM Console → Roles → select the role.
- Identify the actual AWS services and actions this role requires.
- Detach AdministratorAccess (arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AdministratorAccess).
- Create or attach specific AWS-managed or customer-managed policies scoped to the minimum required permissions.
- Use IAM Access Analyzer to generate a least-privilege policy based on CloudTrail activity.
These are the steps the finding carries in the product.
