Control: AWS > PCI v3.2.1 > IAM > 3 IAM policies should not allow full '*' administrative privileges
This control checks whether the default version of AWS Identity and Access Management policies (also known as customer managed policies) do not have administrator access with a statement that has "Effect": "Allow" with "Action": "*" over "Resource": "*".
It only checks for the customer managed policies that you created, but does not check for full access to individual services, such as "S3:*".
It does not check for inline and AWS managed policies.
