Automated policy orchestrator

Alert administrator on an IAM policy creation event and wait for approval

The application uses Amazon EventBridge to trigger a Step Functions Standard Workflow on an IAM policy creation event. The workflow compares the policy action against a customizable list of restricted actions. It uses AWS Lambda and Step Functions to roll back the policy temporarily, then notify an administrator and wait for them to approve or deny.
