All,


There have been questions about access to AWS resources, and how to gain tokens to make API requests. In order to reduce some of this friction, here is some context around how the system works.

Amazon Web Services uses a high-level identity management based on tokens, called IAM, or Identity and Access Management. There are several objects in this model: Groups, Policies, and Users. Each "User" is tied to a unique Access Key and Secret Key, analogous to a username and password on a Unix-like environment. These will henceforth be referenced as "Tokens" for sake of brevity. "Groups" are a logical grouping of users. One user may belong to many groups, and one group may have many users. "Policies" are pemission(s) granted to either Groups or Users. One policy may be granted to any number of these entities. 

A "Policy" allows a Token pairing to make API calls. These policies, at a high level, consist of "Resources" and "Actions", which dictate who is allowed to do what on what resources. These are analog
