What is AWS Service Prefix

AWS Service Prefix is a prefix or namespace used by AWS service. Service Prefix groups IAM related action for specific service. For example, Amazon S3 has service prefix S3. Under this prefix, there is action like s3:GetObject.

We can use service prefix on IAM policy or another AWS Organization policy like Service Control Policy (SCP) or Tag Policy.
