    AWS SAP-C02 · Question 50 · Domain 1.2: Security Controls

    An organization is using AWS Organizations. They want to ensure that any new IAM user created in any member account automatically has a permissions boundary attached. If the boundary is not attached, the creation should fail. How can this be enforced centrally?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Use AWS Config to detect users without the boundary and trigger an SSM Automation to attach it.

    B.

    Create a Service Control Policy (SCP) that denies the iam:CreateUser action unless the aws:PermissionsBoundary condition key is present and matches the required boundary ARN.

    C.

    Attach an IAM policy to the root user of the management account.

    D.

    Use AWS CloudTrail to monitor user creation and send an SNS alert.

    How to approach this question

    Use SCPs for preventive multi-account governance.

    Full Answer

    B.Create a Service Control Policy (SCP) that denies the iam:CreateUser action unless the aws:PermissionsBoundary condition key is present and matches the required boundary ARN.✓ Correct
    Service Control Policies (SCPs) provide central, preventive guardrails. By using a Deny statement with a StringNotEquals condition on 'aws:PermissionsBoundary', you force administrators to attach the boundary when creating users.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing AWS Config, which is reactive and allows the user to be created temporarily.
