AWS drs: Updated AWS managed policy for recovery plans

Service: drs · 2026-08-19 · Documentation medium

File: drs/latest/userguide/doc-history.md · Type: iam

Summary

Added documentation for updating the read-only policy with permissions for recovery plans and executions.

Security assessment

The evidence shows an update to a managed IAM policy, which controls access permissions. Adding new permissions for recovery plans enhances security documentation but does not fix a vulnerability.

Evidence

+Updated AWS managed policy |  Updates the [AWSElasticDisasterRecoveryReadOnlyAccess](./security-iam-awsmanpol-AWSElasticDisasterRecoveryReadOnlyAccess.html) policy with new read-only permissions for recovery plans and recovery plan executions. | August 18, 2026
