IAM: Access the policy simulator console based on user path

This example shows how you might create an identity-based policy that allows using the policy simulator console only for those users that have the path Department/Development. This policy grants the permissions necessary to complete this action programmatically from the AWS API or AWS CLI. To use this policy, replace the italicized placeholder text in the example policy with your own information. Then, follow the directions in create a policy or edit a policy.

You can access the IAM Policy Simulator at: https://policysim.www.aws.eu/
