RulenameFull Admin policy created and then attached to Roles, Users or Groups
DescriptionIdentity and Access Management (IAM) securely manages access to AWS services and resources.

Identifies when a policy is created with Full Administrators Access (Allow-Action:*,Resource:*).

This policy can be attached to role,user or group and may be used by an adversary to escalate a normal user privileges to an adminsitrative level.
