Delving into the intricacies of IAM policies can take up a LOT of room on a tutorial or blog post. Whenever I post an AWS tutorial, I usually say to pick the policy that gives '*' access to that particular service, but with a strong disclaimer that this is not for production usage, and to narrow down the permissions accordingly.
EDIT: Not global admin privileges, just full read/write to whatever AWS service I am basing the tutorial on.
There are a lot of good IAM policy setting tutorials out there that I usually point them to.
- bpicolo 10y agoWhy not just give a copy-pastable policy?
- cyberferret 10y agoWhere the policies are simple, I try and do that, but sometimes there can be complex ARNs etc. that will take too many words to try and explain, or might distract from the pace of the tutorial itself. It is actually quicker to point to one of the built in or pre-made AWS policies, which are usually fairly generic.
- zachrose 10y agoLinks to such tutorials would be greatly appreciated!

A Google search on "AWS IAM Tutorials" should show you a lot of them, but some that I have pointed to myself are: http://tom.meinlschmidt.org/2014/06/12/aws-s3-iam-user-policy-setup-for-bucket/ http://tom.meinlschmidt.org/2014/06/12/aws-s3-iam-user-polic... http://mikeferrier.com/2011/10/27/granting-access-to-a-single-s3-bucket-using-amazon-iam/ http://mikeferrier.com/2011/10/27/granting-access-to-a-singl...
