It provides classes to extract and inspect policy components\u2014principals, actions, resources, and conditions\u2014and includes utilities to detect whether a policy is internet-accessible, expand wildcard actions to their full permission sets, and minify policies to reduce their size. The package ships with a built-in permissions dataset from the AWS Policy Generator.\n\nIt is primarily used by security teams and infrastructure auditors to understand and validate IAM policies programmatically. Common tasks include checking whether a policy grants unintended public access, categorizing actions by type (Read, Write, Permissions, etc.), and expanding wildcards like `s3:*` into their constituent permissions for detailed analysis. The library has no external runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to integrate into automation and compliance tools.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to parse and analyze AWS IAM policies programmatically. The package is lightweight, has no dependencies, and covers the core use cases of policy inspection and wildcard expansion well. However, note the dormant maintenance status\u2014last release was 988 days ago\u2014so verify compatibility with your AWS policy version and consider whether you need active support before adopting it for critical compliance workflows."},"id":"policyuniverse","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/policyuniverse","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/policyuniverse.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/policyuniverse/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-11-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"policyuniverse","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Parse and Process AWS IAM Policies, Statements, ARNs, and wildcards."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":519870,"position":6214,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.5.1.20231109"}
