[All AWS Certified Security - Specialty Questions]

A company uses AWS Organization to manage 50 AWS accounts. The finance staff members log in as AWS IAM users in the FinanceDept AWS account. The staff members need to read the consolidated billing information in the MasterPayer AWS account. They should not be able to view any other resources in the
MasterPayer AWS account. IAM access to billing has been enabled in the MasterPayer account.
Which of the following approaches grants the finance staff the permissions they require without granting any unnecessary permissions?

  • A. Create an IAM group for the finance users in the FinanceDept account, then attach the AWS managed ReadOnlyAccess IAM policy to the group.
  • B. Create an IAM group for the finance users in the MasterPayer account, then attach the AWS managed ReadOnlyAccess IAM policy to the group.
  • C. Create an AWS IAM role in the FinanceDept account with the ViewBilling permission, then grant the finance users in the MasterPayer account the permission to assume that role.
  • D. Create an AWS IAM role in the MasterPayer account with the ViewBilling permission, then grant the finance users in the FinanceDept account the permission to assume that role.

The account that will be configured to assume the role is the account that needs access to the shared resources. The account that owns the shared resources is the account that defines the trust policy that specifies which accounts are allowed to assume the role and what permissions are granted to them.

D is correct answer because of two reasons: One its secure , when any user or service assume role - STS provide temp credentials in the backend and it expires after sometime C is not correct because you have to create the role in target and user/service has to assume to access the target A is wrong obviously because user need access in master account B is wrong because every time user has to login to master account, it easy for user to keep logged in single account and access other account by assuming a role and it does not provide long term credentials to users

D should be the correct answer. The question clearly mentions that the IAM users are part of the finance account. When you switch role, the destination account is where you need to create the role that can be assumed when switching into the respective account. Moreover it's consolidated billing, and there are around 50 accounts so it's easy to switch to the master account to see the entire billing data.
