iam_access_analyzer_enabled

AWS Regions Without Access Analyzer Enabled

What It Does

This policy template reports any regions that do not have an Access Analyzer enabled. Optionally, it emails this report.

Access Analyzer scans show resources that other accounts and federated users can access, such as KMS keys and IAM roles; it is recommended that they be in place for all regions in active use.

Input Parameters

• Email Addresses - Email addresses of the recipients you wish to notify.
• Account Number - The Account number for use with the AWS STS Cross Account Role. Leave blank when using AWS IAM Access key and secret. It only needs to be passed when the desired AWS account is different than the one associated with the Flexera One credential. More information is available in our documentation.
• Allow/Deny Regions - Whether to treat Allow/Deny Regions List parameter as allow or deny list. Has no effect if Allow/Deny Regions List is left empty.
• Allow/Deny Regions List - A list of regions to allow or deny for an AWS account. Please enter the regions code if SCP is enabled. See Available Regions in AWS; otherwise, the policy may fail on regions that are disabled via SCP. Leave blank to consider all the regions.

Policy Actions
