In IAM, access changes, such as granting a role or denying a
permission, are eventually consistent. This means that it takes time for access changes to propagate
through the system. In the meantime, recent access changes might not be effective
everywhere. For example, principals might still be able to use a recently
revoked role or a recently denied permission. Alternatively, they might not be
able to use a recently granted role or a permission they were, until recently,
denied from using.
Changes to allow or deny policies typically propagate in
2 minutes, but could potentially take 7 minutes
or longer.
