Description

Hi, this is not really a feature request for the software itself but for the documentation of e.g. the AWS provider.
Let's take this for example: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/s3_bucket
It would be great if the documentation would list all the AWS API permissions needed to manage the documented resource in question.
So that you more or less could copy paste your IAM policy for the resources you actually use.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_*

@Heiko-san Thanks for raising this issue.
It seems like you would be interested in the current quarter's roadmap API Calls/IAM Actions Per Terraform Resource topic.
