Amazon Web Service Identity and Access Management (IAM) accommodates the IAM Policy Simulator tool.

For those who unfamiliar, Connectikpeople may recall that, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) helps you control access to AWS services and resources using access control policies.  Therefore, IAM includes a large collection of prebuilt policies, and you can also create your own.

Henceforth, the IAM Policy Simulator tool is available. This means, you can as of now test the effects of your IAM policies before you commit them to

production.

Ok, simply choose the policy that you want to evaluate, select from a list of AWS options, and click the Run Simulation button.

You are the AWS account owner and you want to make sure that you have access to all of the EC2 APIs, just select your name, the service, and the functions that you need to be able to access.

The policy will be evaluated when you push the Run Simulation button and the simulator will display the results.

You can choose to exclude policies from the simulation. You can simulate access to specific resources, and you can create and test newly generated policies within the simulator.
