+title: IAM Policy Grammar
+description: Condition operators and condition keys supported by the LocalStack IAM policy engine.
+template: doc
+tags: ["Base"]  # TODO: confirm tier
+sidebar:
+    order: 5
+---
+
+<!--
+DRAFT — not final. Outstanding before publish:
+  1. Full operator support matrix: rows marked "Verify" need checking against the
+     policy engine. The 2026.06.0 release only documents what was added, not the
+     complete set the engine supports.
+  2. Frontmatter tier + sidebar order.
+Notes:
+  - S3 ABAC tag keys and the EC2 IMDSv2 metadata key are documented elsewhere and
+    intentionally NOT covered here.
+  - Some sources list numeric operators in shorthand (NumericGreater, NumericLess, ...);
+    the tables below use the AWS-canonical names (NumericGreaterThan, NumericLessThan, ...).
+  - Source for the inventory: the "LocalStack for AWS 2026.06.0" release blog.

+
+## Introduction
+
+This page lists the IAM policy grammar that the LocalStack policy engine can evaluate: the [condition operators](#condition-operators) and [condition keys](#condition-keys) it understands when checking a request.
+The same engine backs both [IAM Policy Enforcement](/aws/developer-tools/security-testing/iam-policy-enforcement/) and the [IAM Policy Simulator](/aws/developer-tools/security-testing/iam-policy-simulator/), so the support described here applies to both.
+
+Grammar support is expanding over time; operators and keys not listed here may not yet be evaluated.
+For which service actions are covered, see the [IAM coverage documentation](/aws/developer-tools/security-testing/iam-coverage/), which tracks action coverage rather than grammar.
+
+## Condition operators
+
+The [`Condition`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements_condition_operators.html) element of a policy statement uses condition operators to compare a condition key against a value.
+The tables below list the operators the engine supports, grouped by category.
+
+<!-- VERIFY: rows marked "Verify" are unconfirmed — check against the policy engine. -->
+
+### String
+
+| Operator | Supported |
+| --- | --- |
+| `StringEquals` | Verify |
+| `StringNotEquals` | Yes |
+| `StringEqualsIgnoreCase` | Verify |
+| `StringNotEqualsIgnoreCase` | Yes |
+| `StringLike` | Verify |
+| `StringNotLike` | Yes |
+
+### Numeric
+
+| Operator | Supported |
+| --- | --- |
+| `NumericEquals` | Yes |
+| `NumericNotEquals` | Yes |
+| `NumericLessThan` | Yes |
+| `NumericLessThanEquals` | Yes |
+| `NumericGreaterThan` | Yes |
+| `NumericGreaterThanEquals` | Yes |
+
+### ARN
+
+| Operator | Supported |
+| --- | --- |
+| `ArnEquals` | Verify |
+| `ArnLike` | Verify |
+| `ArnNotEquals` | Yes |
+| `ArnNotLike` | Yes |
+
+### Other categories
+
+<!--
+VERIFY and fill in / drop: the remaining AWS operator categories —
+Date (DateEquals, DateNotEquals, DateLessThan, ...), Bool, BinaryEquals,
+IpAddress / NotIpAddress, Null — plus the `...IfExists` variants and the
+ForAllValues / ForAnyValue set operators. Support unknown; confirm against source.
+-->
+
+## Condition keys
+
+In addition to the global (`aws:*`) condition keys, the engine evaluates the following service-specific keys.
+
+| Condition key | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `iam:PolicyArn` | Restrict policy attach/detach operations to specific policies. |
+| `s3:max-keys` | Numeric key for the maximum number of keys returned by a listing. |
+
+<!-- VERIFY: whether global aws:* keys warrant their own row/subsection or a support note. -->
+
+## Examples
+
+The expanded grammar makes it possible to express organization- and account-level guardrails locally.
+The following statement is illustrative; confirm the exact condition-key names against your LocalStack version.
+
+Limit the page size of an S3 listing by denying requests that ask for more than 100 keys, using a numeric operator with the `s3:max-keys` key:
+
+```json showLineNumbers
+{
+  "Version": "2012-10-17",
+  "Statement": [
+    {
+      "Effect": "Deny",
+      "Action": "s3:ListBucket",
+      "Resource": "*",
+      "Condition": {
+        "NumericGreaterThan": { "s3:max-keys": "100" }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+<!-- VERIFY the example end-to-end against a real ENFORCE_IAM=1 run. -->
+
+## Known limitations
+
+Grammar support is rolled out incrementally, so operators and keys not listed above may not yet be evaluated.
+
+<!--
+When the IAM Policy Simulator page lands, pull its SCP-condition caveats in here
+(or cross-reference) so the two pages stay consistent — AWS's own simulator ignores
+SCP conditions, whereas LocalStack evaluates them.
