AWS Policy Expander

About

AWS Policy Expander: Stop clicking, start reviewing.

Are you tired of manually clicking every single expand button in the AWS Console just to read the JSON details of your IAM policies? When you are auditing permissions, debugging access issues, or reviewing attached entities, opening dozens of rows one by one is tedious and slows down your workflow.

AWS Policy Expander is a lightweight, no-nonsense extension designed specifically for AWS developers, DevOps engineers, and cloud security admins. With a single click, it automatically triggers the native expand buttons for all closed policy details in your current AWS Console table view.

Why install this extension?

One-Click Expansion: Open all collapsed policy rows on the page instantly, without freezing your browser.

Massive Time-Saver: Perfect for security audits, troubleshooting IAM roles, and quickly reviewing customer-managed or AWS-managed policies.

Lightweight & Fast: Built with pure, efficient JavaScript. It has no unnecessary dependencies, no background scripts draining memory, and zero bloat.

Privacy & Security First: This extension runs entirely locally in your browser. It only interacts with the DOM of your active AWS tab to click the buttons for you. It does not collect, store, track, or transmit any of your AWS data or credentials.

How to Use:

Navigate to any page in the AWS Management Console that displays a table of policies (e.g., IAM Roles, Users, or Policies).

Click the AWS Policy Expander icon in your browser toolbar.

Click the "Expand All Policies" button in the popup menu.

Scroll and read your JSON policies seamlessly!
