You can grant temporary IAM permissions by triggering a serverless Step Functions workflow that enforces an allowlist, sends an email approval request, and issues JWT-backed credentials upon approval. The system automatically revokes access once the time-bound grant expires.

Automating IAM policy revocation uses a Step Functions-based process that logs activity and automatically revokes permissions precisely when the timer ends. This eliminates long-lived credentials by enforcing time-bound grants and automatic expiration.

Yes, this workflow uses Step Functions to orchestrate the approval process and DynamoDB to maintain an end-to-end audit trail. All permission requests, approvals, and automatic revocations are logged for complete visibility.

Yes, an allowlist is enforced to restrict which IAM permissions can be requested through the email-approval workflow. This ensures AI agents and services can only request pre-approved, temporary access scoped to your security boundaries.

JWT-backed approval works by issuing a JSON Web Token once a human approves the permission request via email. This token validates the temporary IAM grant, ensuring that access is authenticated, time-bound, and automatically revoked upon expiration.

Email-based approvals depend on human response times, meaning permission requests wait until a reviewer interacts with the email. Additionally, IAM access is strictly limited to the allowlist and automatically revoked at expiration, requiring new requests for extended access.
