Read your own link: You can assign an existing IAM role to an AWS Directory Service user or group. Not to IAM groups.

Selected Answer: C
"Manage access in AWS by creating policies and attaching them to IAM identities (users, groups of users, or roles) or AWS resources." "An IAM role is an identity within your AWS account that has specific permissions. It's similar to an IAM user, but isn't associated with a specific person." "IAM roles do not have any permanent credentials associated with them and are instead assumed by IAM users, AWS services, or applications that need temporary security credentials to access AWS resources"

Not A or D because this is not about restricting maximum permissions, it is is about securely granting permissions Not B because IAM roles are not attached to IAM groups. C because IAM policies are attached to IAM groups.

Selected Answer: C
A is wrong SCPs are mainly used along with AWS Organizations organizational units (OUs). SCPs do not replace IAM Policies such that they do not provide actual permissions. To perform an action, you would still need to grant appropriate IAM Policy permissions.

Selected Answer: C
An IAM policy is an object in AWS that, when associated with an identity or resource, defines their permissions. Permissions in the policies determine whether a request is allowed or denied. You manage access in AWS by creating policies and attaching them to IAM identities (users, groups of users, or roles) or AWS resources. So, option B will also work. But Since I can only choose one, C would be it.

Option C is not as secure as option B because IAM policies are attached to individual users and cannot be used to manage permissions for groups of users.

IAM Roles manage who has access to your AWS resources, whereas IAM policies control their permissions. A Role with no Policy attached to it won’t have to access any AWS resources. A Policy that is not attached to an IAM role is effectively unused.

IAM roles are not attached to IAM groups. IAM policies are attached to IAM roles, IAM groups or IAM users. IAM roles are used by services.
