AWS Creates New Policy-Based Access Control Language Cedar
All of the sdks support client side monitoring (CSM), so these sort of tools can be built client side. https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/1.10.46/gui...
afaics the only challenge is mapping some of the apis to iam as its only 85% 1:1
There's also tools for helping with iam like (generator, and linter)

Policy Sentry - IAM Least Privilege Policy Generator
It is an open source initiative from Salesforce. Using Policy Sentry, it is easy to automate the creation of IAM policies with little knowledge on security.

Starting your Cloud Security Journey
You can use tools like policy_sentry to create least privilege IAM policies.

I built a tool which automatically suggests least-privilege IAM policies
The tool is in a similar space to iamlive, policy_sentry, and consoleme (all of which are worth checking out too if you're interested in making AWS security easier) but the main points of difference I see are:

Show HN: Endgame – An AWS Pentesting tool to backdoor or expose AWS resources
@kmcquade ur awesome ! we are users of https://github.com/salesforce/policy_sentry and definitely definitely https://github.com/salesforce/cloudsplaining .
If I could give you guys money, I would. You should totally build a startup around it.

Why has AWS made IAM Actions impossible to find?
Also things like this (same guy) if you have a sandbox to play in with wider permissions and are trying to build a more scoped profile: https://github.com/iann0036/iamlive

Why Companies Still Struggle with Least Privilege in the Cloud?
I know there is a tool called iamlive that logs all API calls on your local machine. So you can run commands as an admin user locally while this is running, and find out what permissions were needed. Then you tear down the infra you just deployed, and add those same permissions to a service user of some kind (e.g. a CICD role) to avoid over-privileging it. It's messy but it can be helpful.

AWS Creates New Policy-Based Access Control Language Cedar
actually Ian (aws hero) has a tool that does exactly this

Show HN: Slauth.io (YC S22) – IAM Policy Auto-Generation
I have used https://github.com/iann0036/iamlive with great success in the past. On high level, the approach you are describing is iamlive on steroids and UX improved.
Kudos on launch, will check your beta

Pike: Tool to determine your IAM requirements from code
Thanks! Permissions are determined per resource or datasource. There's no easy way that I had found, especially if you want this done statically, https://github.com/iann0036/iamlive does it by inspecting your api calls but there's always a look up somewhere. Hopefully ill manage to get a few community contributions and get the ball rolling, i've made it as easy as I could to add support for other resources without you even really having to know golang.

The End of CI
IAM isn’t fun, but there’s lots of options.
https://pypi.org/project/access-undenied-aws/ will allow you to start with least privilege and fix specific issues.
https://github.com/iann0036/iamlive allows an admin to perform the action via CLI and capture the policy.
Access advisor can inspect how you actually use the role and give suggestions on what to remove.
A more helpful suggestion is to experiment with these tools and then find gaps in IAM actions and submit those as feature requests via your TAM.
