How to create a minimal and complete IAM roles/permissions given requirements?



IAM gives developers controls to limit which users can access specific services, the kinds of action they can perform, and which resources are available (VMs, database instances, etc).



Given a list of resources, API calls, and services used, how does one go about creating a minimal (but sufficiently free) IAM role or user for this project?



Inspired by Exelian's reponse to Jiew Meng in Is there anyway to determine what IAM permissions I actually need for a CloudFormation template?:



Jiew Meng: "I guess, it should be possible for there to be some parser that given a CloudFormation template can determine the minimum set of permissions it"



Exelian: "I discussed this with multiple AWS engineers at a conference and their answer was: "not really". Best way is to assign nothing and see what errors it throws."
