VIEW RULE IN DATADOG VIEW MISCONFIGURATIONS

Description

IAM policies define privileges granted to users, groups, or roles. Best practice recommends granting only the permissions necessary to perform specific tasks. Begin with minimal permissions, adding more as necessary, rather than starting with overly permissive settings. Granting full administrative privileges instead of essential permissions can expose resources to potential misuse or compromise. It’s critical to remove policies with "Effect": "Allow" combined with "Action": "*" and "Resource": "*" to minimize security risks.
