Users with, at minimum, the permissions in the `[AWSResourceExplorerReadOnlyAccess](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AWSResourceExplorerReadOnlyAccess.html)` managed policy can immediately search all tagged resources and supported untagged resources created after the [immediate resource discovery](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/resource-explorer/latest/userguide/manage-immediate-resource-discovery-experience.html) release.
