Challenge
Create IAM Users and Groups with Permissions Limited by Permission Boundaries
- Create the DataTeamAlice user and grant that user a managed PowerUser Policy directly.
- Assign DataTeamAlice a permission boundary that limits access to S3 and confirm she can take S3 actions.
- Confirm DataTeamAlice cannot take other PowerUser actions by trying to create a DynamoDB Table.
- Place DataTeamAlice in an IAM group and repeat the process with that group.

Challenge
Create an IAM User with Tag-based Condition Restrictions
- Create the DeveloperBob IAM User with a managed PowerUser Policy and verify the user can add objects to an S3 bucket.
- Add a tag-based condition that prevents acting on buckets tagged with
"team": "data"to DeveloperBob. - Validate the same actions are now restricted for DeveloperBob.
