This template creates an IAM policy (deny-marketplace-changes-policy
) that denies changes to AWS Martketplace, including subscribing to Marketplace offerings. The template also creats a shib-admin_no_market
IAM role that uses that policy to give the role full administrator access, excluding the AWS Marketplace.
See IAM Resources for Limiting AWS Marketplace Access in Cornell Confluence for more information.
NOTE! This role and policy are primary meant to dissuade AWS users from shooting themselves in the foot with respect to Marketplace changes. A knowledgeable user with shib-admin_no_market
access can fairly easily circumvent the Marketplace restrictions built into that role.
