DAY2™  believes and ensures Least privileged permission model across our platform operations. Our aim is to ensure that our customers are in full control of what permissions that they give out and keep our access granular to the scope of every operation.


In DAY2™, we create specific roles with the least permissions to perform the tasks on your behalf and nothing more. The IAM roles in your AWS Account are attached with the least permissions that it requires and also, with AWS Managed policies which are recommended by AWS.
