Creating a fine-grained access control policy using AWS IAM
A fine-grained access control allows us to restrict access to the table data as we want it. It allows us to create policies, which allow users to access only their data, limit their access to certain attributes, and so on. In this recipe, we will see how to create a fine-grained policy.

Navigate to the create policy user interface, and select the third option, that is, Create Your Own Policy.
