Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1 (Scored)

IAM users are granted access to services, functions, and data through IAM policies. There are three ways to define policies for a user:

  1. Edit the user policy directly, aka an inline, or user, policy;
  2. attach a policy directly to a user;
  3. add the user to an IAM group that has an attached policy.

Only the third implementation is recommended.
