## Role of Security

In this project, we try to place security above everything. We are trying to avoid accidental deletions. We are assuming that every team member will log in from known IPs. As an added layer of security, we are making MFA mandatory for every user that logs in, even admins.
In this project, we try to place security above everything. We are trying to avoid accidental deletions. We are assuming that every team member will log in from known IPs. As an added layer of security, we are making MFA mandatory for every user that logs in, even admins. To add the mandatory MFA, there is a policy called "forceMfa.json" that will need to be created and added to a group called FORCE_MFA. Each IAM user to be created, will need to be a part of the FORCE_MFA group. This policy will deny IAM user's access to AWS resources until they add their MFA and use it to authenticate.

## Assumptions

We are working with the following assumptions:

Presence of generic job roles.
In case an employee is wearing multiple hats, make sure you update accordingly. We have tried to block certain destructive actions like bucket deletion, accidental terminations for users who are not AWS admin like frontend and backend engineers.
Use of blacklist instead of whitelist to keep the roles tidy.
