<a name="iam-policy-no-statements-with-admin-access"></a>

Checks if AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies that you create have Allow statements that grant permissions to all actions on all resources. The rule is NON\_COMPLIANT if any customer managed IAM policy statement includes "Effect": "Allow" with "Action": "\*" over "Resource": "\*".

**Note**  
This rule only evaluates customer managed policies. This rule does NOT evaluate inline policies or AWS managed policies. For more information on the difference, see [Managed policies and inline policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_managed-vs-inline.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.

The following policy is NON\_COMPLIANT:

```
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "*",
"Resource": "*"
}
```

The following policy is COMPLIANT:

```
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "service:*",
"Resource": "*"
}
```
