False Positives - Known AWS Service Control Policy Issue

When viewing details on the Clouds Listing page, InsightCloudSec may provide false positive Warnings around missing permissions. In some scenarios the permissions are granted within the Service Control Policy (SCP) but falsely report as missing. Read more about Service Control Policies.

This scenario is the result of a known issue within AWS where, if an Organization has an SCP with conditions based on global keys (e.g., aws:PrincipalArn), the IAM Policy Simulator results are not accurate because it does not have context with the global keys.

If you have verified that the specific permissions identified as missing are included in your SCP, you can safely disregard these warnings; otherwise for remaining questions or concerns, contact us through the Customer Support Portal.
