What does logging with IAM permissions NOT control?

When considering what logging with IAM (Identity and Access Management) permissions does not control, it is important to understand the specific aspects of logging and IAM.

Choosing the option that indicates it does not control turning logging functions on or off is appropriate because IAM permissions are primarily designed to manage access to resources, including who can view logs and who can access the log data itself. IAM roles and policies determine which users or services can get information about or manipulate log data but do not configure logging features such as enabling or disabling the logging itself. The actual operation of turning logging capabilities on or off is generally handled separately, often through specific service configurations in the cloud platform.

Access rights to view logs, the audit trail for access, and encryption standards for logs are all directly influenced by IAM policies. They determine who can see what log data, ensure there is a record of access, and specify how log data is secured. Thus, IAM plays a critical role in managing these areas, while turning logging functions on or off is typically beyond its scope.
