Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Security > SEC 03. How do you manage permissions for people and machines? > Grant least privilege access

Grant only the access that identities require by allowing access to specific actions on specific AWS resources under specific conditions. Rely on groups and identity attributes to dynamically set permissions at scale, rather than defining permissions for individual users. For example, you can allow a group of developers access to manage only resources for their project. This way, when a developer is removed from the group, access for the developer is revoked everywhere that group was used for access control, without requiring any changes to the access policies.

See Grant least privilege access for more information.
