How to clean up unused IAM roles and permissions in AWS?
Our AWS environment has hundreds of IAM roles created over years of development, and many have wide-open access rights. It’s hard to tell which roles are actively used and which are abandoned. What’s the safest way to audit and revoke unused permissions without breaking production setups?

Tracking down unused roles manually usually leads to broken services or missed security risks. I recommend adopting a reliable ciem tool designed for automated cloud permissions management and cloud privilege management. Combined with specialized ciem software, it analyzes actual usage logs over time, flags excessive privileges, and helps you safely downgrade permissions without taking down critical services.
