# Verified Permissions Policy Item

An AWS Verified Permissions Policy Item represents an individual policy statement within the Verified Permissions service. It defines rules that determine whether specific actions are allowed or denied for given principals on particular resources. These policy items are used to build fine-grained, centralized access control decisions, enabling applications to enforce consistent authorization logic across services and resources.
