How to Resolve Manually
This Config Rule checks if a certain IAM policy is attached to a User, Group or Role. The rule will be marked as non-compliant if the IAM Policy is unattached to any of the mentioned resources.
For this Rule to work, you first need to specify the Policy ARN to be checked. To do this, login into StackZone console and go to Provisioning > Baseline Services > Config Rules Global and then go to IAM. From there look for the IAM Policy in Use card and fill in the Policy ARN field with the desired value. Click on Save Settings then go to Provisioning > Status to finally click on the Deploy button. Use the following picture as a visual reference:
In the case of the rule detecting a non-compliant resource, you will need to attach the IAM Policy to a user, group or role, or remove it if it's not actually needed.
Notice that this Config Rule checks only one ARN at a time.
