IAM Policy Resource Pattern Error With Conditionals - amazon-iam

i'm scratching my head with this one i'm attempting to write an AWS Policy that'll basically constrict a (terraform) user to work in one specific region so that any accidental changes etc are kept to a minimum and the chances of accidentally hurting another environment are reduced. Keeping in mind that some services like IAM etc span outside of a region i've come up with a rudimentary one here, only problem is AWS is throwing the following error:
This policy contains the following error: The following resources are invalid. They must be either '' or an arn pattern: arn:aws:iam:,arn:aws:route53:* For more information about the IAM policy grammar, see AWS IAM Policies
Here's a copy of the policy thus far, any help would be appreciated.:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "*",
"NotResource": [
"arn:aws:iam:*",
"arn:aws:route53:*"
],
"Condition": {
"ForAnyValue:StringEquals": {
"aws:RequestedRegion": "us-west-1"
}
}
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "*",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:iam:*",
"arn:aws:route53:*"
]
}
]}

Could you please try this one :
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "Stmt1595231481806",
"Action": "route53:*",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "*",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"aws:RequestedRegion": "us-west-1"
}
}
},
{
"Sid": "Stmt1595231501844",
"Action": "iam:*",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "*",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"aws:RequestedRegion": "us-west-1"
}
}
}
]

AWS S3 cross account policy

I would like to set a policy for a S3 bucket that is restricted to a VPC-ID(using a S3 endpoint). I have two accounts, A and B. I want a IAM user in A to access a bucket in B.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/example-bucket-policies-vpc-endpoint.html
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Id": "Policy1415115909153", "Statement": [
{
"Sid": "Access-to-specific-VPC-only",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": "s3:*",
"Effect": "Deny",
"Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::awsexamplebucket1",
"arn:aws:s3:::awsexamplebucket1/*"],
"Condition": {
"StringNotEquals": {
"aws:SourceVpc": "vpc-111bbb22"
}
}
} ] }
Above won't work, but following will:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": "s3:*",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::bucket",
"arn:aws:s3:::bucket/*"
],
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"aws:SourceVpc": "vpc-111111111111"
}
}
}
]
}
Feels like best practices is to use a deny policy. Anyone has an idea why and how solve it?
As pointed out you need to allow as-well. Combine both policies and it will work.

AWS CLI and MFA

I have created an IAM user (without MFA) and attached the below policy to the user. This is to make sure that the calls to the S3 use MFA. But, when I use the AccessKeys for this user via the AWS CLI, I am able to perform the S3 operation aws s3 ls with out any authorization error.
Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug in AWS?
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:*",
"Resource": "*",
"Condition": {
"BoolIfExists": {
"aws:MultiFactorAuthPresent": "true"
}
}
}
]
}
Not exactly sure why the policy statement in the OP is not working. But,
I did attach the AmazonS3FullAccess policy with one of the below policy and it behaves as expected. For the long-term credentials I am not able to perform S3 operations and for the temporary credentials when authenticated with MFA I am able to perform the S3 operations.
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Deny",
"Action": "s3:*",
"Resource": "*",
"Condition": {
"BoolIfExists": {
"aws:MultiFactorAuthPresent": "false"
}
}
}
]
}
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Id": "123",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Deny",
"Resource": "*",
"Action": "s3:*",
"Condition": {
"Null": {
"aws:MultiFactorAuthAge": true
}
}
}
]
}
You are using Allow, but you should be using Deny as explained in AWS docs. Example:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Id": "123",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "",
"Effect": "Deny",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": "s3:*",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/taxdocuments/*",
"Condition": { "Null": { "aws:MultiFactorAuthAge": true }}
}
]
}
Read the AWS docs carefully, as you can lock yourself out of the bucket if you use Deny incorrectly.

AWS IAM PowerUser Scoped to Specific Region

I'm trying to create an AWS IAM Policy that gives access to everything that a Power User has (arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/PowerUserAccess) but only in a specific region.
I started with the existing Power User policy and found this article: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_examples_ec2_region.html
So I added the "condition" to the Power User Policy and the result is:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "*",
"NotAction": [
"iam:*",
"organizations:*",
"account:*"
],
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"ec2:Region": "us-east-2"
}
}
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole",
"iam:DeleteServiceLinkedRole",
"iam:ListRoles",
"organizations:DescribeOrganization",
"account:ListRegions"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
This does not seem to be working as I can create EC2 instances only in the specified region... but other services are not available:
When you use the ec2:Region in the Condition key, that's EC2 specific
You'll want to try the aws:RequestedRegion for the condition key.
Beware though,
Some global services, such as IAM, have a single endpoint. Because this endpoint is physically located in the US East (N. Virginia) Region, IAM calls are always made to the us-east-1 Region
Give it a try with
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "*",
"NotAction": [
"iam:*",
"organizations:*",
"account:*"
],
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"aws:RequestedRegion": "us-east-2"
}
}
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole",
"iam:DeleteServiceLinkedRole",
"iam:ListRoles",
"organizations:DescribeOrganization",
"account:ListRegions"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}

How to limit access to an S3 bucket to a specific VPC while allowing console access

I am setting up a selection of S3 buckets and wish to restrict access to them to a VPC while still allowing access to the buckets from the AWS console.
As proposed here I have created an S3 endpoint and also added it to the main routing table. The policy on the endpoint allows full access to all resources.
I have created an S3 policy (see below) and added it to the bucket. As soon as I save the policy, access to the bucket from the console is no longer possible.
I have also tried to specifically add a user to the condition "StringNotEquals" in the form of "aws:username": "user1", to no avail.
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Id": "Policy-S3-Bucket-myBucket",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "Access-via-VPC-only",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": "s3:*",
"Effect": "Deny",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::myBucket",
"arn:aws:s3:::myBucket/*"
],
"Condition": {
"StringNotEquals": {
"aws:sourceVpc": "vpc-01c9d66c12345"
}
}
},
{
"Sid": "Allow-console-access",
"Action": [
"s3:*"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::myBucket",
"arn:aws:s3:::myBucket/*"
],
"Principal": {
"AWS": [
"arn:aws:iam::<account-id>:user/user1", "arn:aws:iam::<account-id>:user/user2"
]
}
}
]
}
The expected result would be that the S3 bucket is only accessible by the aforementioned VPC and via the AWS console.
The actual result is:
The bucket overview shows an "Error: Access Denied" and the permissions page(public access settings) shows: "You don't have access to view this configuration. Contact your account administrator to request access."
I have to login using the root user and delete the policy to regain access to the bucket.
I found a solution which seems to work. I have tested it in the policy simulator and it also appears to work correctly in the live environment. The following policy does the trick:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Id": "Policy-S3-Bucket-myBucket",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:GetBucketLocation",
"s3:ListAllMyBuckets"
],
"Resource": "*",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"aws:username": ["user1", "user2"]
}
}
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": ["s3:ListBucket"],
"Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::myBucket"],
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"aws:sourceVpc": "vpc-01c9d66c12345"
}
}
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": ["s3:ListBucket"],
"Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::myBucket"],
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"aws:username": ["user1", "user2"]
}
}
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:PutObject",
"s3:GetObject"
],
"Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::myBucket/*"],
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"aws:sourceVpc": "vpc-01c9d66c12345"
}
}
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:PutObject",
"s3:GetObject"
],
"Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::myBucket/*"],
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"aws:username": ["user1", "user2"]
}
}
}
]
}
The policy requires for either the sourceVpc string OR the username to be as listed in the condition.
Admittedly, the policy is verbose and there is a substantial amount of replication. If anyone has an idea to solve this more efficiently, I'm all ears.
This policy was tested and gives exactly what you need:
Statement": {
"Sid": "Allow-anonymous-access-from-specific-VPC",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": "s3:GetObject",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket_name/*",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"aws:SourceVpc": "some-vpc-id"
}
}
}
This will allow anonymous access from requests coming from "some-vpc-id", while yet allowing access from AWS console.
Your VPC has to have S3 endpoint configured for it to work.
The trick seems to be on denying everything except if it comes from the user or from the VPC but it has to be in the same condition. The way policies work is that Deny rules precede over every other rule, so if you deny, you can't then allow on a subsequent rule; it's already denied and that's it.
By the way, the aws:userid of the root user is the Account Id. Probably a bad practice to use this user but oh well :P
So my bucket now only accepts traffic from the VPC and from the user I log into via the AWS web console (so I don't get access denied errors in the web console)
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Id": "Policy154336817545456388",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "Block-if-not-from-VPC-or-Me",
"Effect": "Deny",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": "s3:*",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name",
"arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*"
],
"Condition": {
"StringNotEquals": {
"aws:SourceVpce": "vpce-4598ujfjrhc",
"aws:userid": "576767373466"
}
}
}
]
}

IAM allowing a user to access everything for ec2 on a region

I'm trying to allow one user to all actions on us-west-2, this is the policy I have.
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": ["ec2:*"],
"Resource": "arn:aws:ec2:us-west-2:837625274593:*"
}
]
}
I got the account number from "OWNER" parameter on an instance, not sure if is it.
{
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "Stmt1375943389569",
"Action": "ec2:*",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "*",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"ec2:Region": "us-west-2"
}
}
}
]
}
That should enable the user to have all access to ec2 in only the us-west-2 region
