AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question
A security engineer needs to understand why an application role is denied permission to invoke kms:Decrypt on a customer-managed KMS key. The role's inline policy grants kms:Decrypt, and CloudTrail shows an explicit denial. Which AWS tool will allow the engineer to simulate the call and identify the policy statement that is causing the deny?
The IAM policy simulator can run a "policy evaluation" for a specific principal, action, and resource. It evaluates identity-based policies, resource policies, permission boundaries, and service control policies, then shows whether the request is allowed or denied and pinpoints the exact statement responsible. IAM Access Analyzer focuses on unintended public or cross-account access but does not run full request simulations. Trusted Advisor and Amazon Inspector provide best-practice and vulnerability findings, not per-request IAM policy evaluation.
