Summary

Created a reusable IAM Access Analyzer widget for visualizing and managing resource-based security policies across AWS services. The project emerged from DynamoDB's resource-based policies implementation and evolved into a shared component used by multiple AWS service teams.

Problem

Each AWS service team was building their own policy editor implementation, leading to:

1. Duplicated Effort: Teams independently developing similar policy editing capabilities
2. Inconsistent Experience: Different implementations across services confused customers
3. Maintenance Burden: Each team maintaining separate policy validation logic

Goals

• Create a reusable widget for resource-level policy management
• Validate the implementation through DynamoDB's resource policies feature
• Enable adoption by other AWS service teams

Implementation

Approach

• Worked with partner teams (S3, Identity) to understand integration needs
• Designed and prototyped interactions within DynamoDB
• Validated the widget's effectiveness through DynamoDB's resource policies launch
