Amazon Location Service now supports refined access control for geofences and tracked devices
Amazon Location Service now supports service specific condition keys allowing developers to set access control rules for each individual tracked device and geofence within a collection. This adds an additional layer of security and prevents unauthorized and unintended access while managing devices and geofences.

This adds an additional layer of security and prevents unauthorized and unintended access while managing devices and geofences.
Condition keys can be used inside an IAM policy document condition block, providing finer permission control by geofenceID or deviceID. For example, a mobile application developer can now restrict each mobile user to view only the location of their own device and only be able to manage the geofences they created themselves.
