AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 590

You have set up an IAM policy for your users to access Elastic Load Balancers and you know that an IAM policy is a JSON document that consists of one or more statements. Which of the following elements is not a part of the statement in an IAM policy document?

Answer options

• A. Action
• B. Resource
• C. Effect
• D. Key

Correct answer: D

Explanation

A standard IAM policy statement consists of elements such as Effect, Action, Resource, and Condition. While keys are used within Condition blocks as condition keys, 'Key' itself is not a primary element of an IAM policy statement. Therefore, Key is the correct answer as it is not a standalone statement element.
