Redpanda automatically assigns IAM policies to the Redpanda Cloud agent when it is deployed. The permissions grant the agent access to the BYOC cluster.
Redpanda automatically assigns IAM policies to the Redpanda Cloud agent when it is deployed. The permissions grant the agent access to the cloud provider API, to create and manage the BYOC cluster infrastructure resources. The permissions follow the principle of least privilege, limiting access to only what is necessary.

This is not technically accurate and can throw off security folks. The customer grants the permissions to the agent through the execution of the rpk BYOC plugin during cluster creation.

@c4milo Does this replacement sound correct for AWS (if so, I'd update similarly for Azure & GCP):
When you run rpk cloud byoc aws apply to create a BYOC cluster, you grant IAM permissions to the Redpanda Cloud agent. IAM permissions allow the agent to access the AWS API to create and manage cluster resources. IAM permissions are not required by Redpanda Cloud users.
