- A
Modify the trust policy of the IAM role
Why wrong: Trust policies are used for cross-account access, not for restricting API calls to a specific role within the same account.
- B
Place the notebook instance in a private VPC subnet
Why wrong: Placing the notebook in a private VPC subnet controls network access but does not restrict which IAM role can invoke the API.
- C
Add a Condition block in the IAM policy attached to the user's role
Correct. An identity-based policy with a Condition block on the resource ARN restricts the API to a specific notebook instance.
- D
Use a resource-based policy on the notebook instance
Why wrong: Incorrect. Amazon SageMaker notebook instances do not support resource-based policies.

AIF-C01 Identity-based policy Practice Question
This AIF-C01 practice question tests your understanding of security, compliance, and governance for ai solutions. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. A key principle to apply: identity-based policy. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A data scientist needs to restrict access to a specific Amazon SageMaker notebook instance so that only a designated IAM role can invoke the CreatePresignedNotebookInstanceUrl API. Which IAM policy element should be used to achieve this?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Add a Condition block in the IAM policy attached to the user's role
Amazon SageMaker notebook instances do not support resource-based policies. The correct way to restrict the CreatePresignedNotebookInstanceUrl API to a specific IAM role is to attach an identity-based policy to the user's role that includes a Condition block specifying the resource ARN of the notebook instance. This ensures only that role can generate presigned URLs for that instance.
Key principle: Identity-based policy
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Modify the trust policy of the IAM role
Why it's wrong here
Trust policies are used for cross-account access, not for restricting API calls to a specific role within the same account.
- ✗
Place the notebook instance in a private VPC subnet
Why it's wrong here
Placing the notebook in a private VPC subnet controls network access but does not restrict which IAM role can invoke the API.
- ✓
Add a Condition block in the IAM policy attached to the user's role
Why this is correct
Correct. An identity-based policy with a Condition block on the resource ARN restricts the API to a specific notebook instance.

- ✗
Use a resource-based policy on the notebook instance
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Amazon SageMaker notebook instances do not support resource-based policies.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Candidates may mistakenly think resource-based policies are available for SageMaker notebook instances, but they are not. The correct approach uses identity-based policies with conditions.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Treat this as a scenario question. Identify the problem, the constraint, and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Identity-based policy
- Condition block
- Resource ARN
- SageMaker CreatePresignedNotebookInstanceUrl
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Identity-based policy
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
