The concept of granting access only to the resources needed to perform a task is known as least privilege access. This is a security best practice in IAM that helps to reduce the risk of unauthorized or malicious actions. By applying least privilege access, you can limit the permissions of your IAM users, groups, and roles to the minimum required for their specific tasks. You can also use conditions, permissions boundaries, and IAM Access Analyzer to further restrict and verify access. References: Security best practices in IAM, Policies and permissions in IAM, Use IAM policies to grant the least privileges required to access Amazon RDS resources, How to Design a Least Privilege Architecture in AWS, 12 Azure & AWS IAM Security Best Practices
