GSL LOGIC

IamPolicy where name='AWSSupportServiceRolePolicy' should not have versionId='v20' or defaultVersionId='v20'

REMEDIATION

The 'AWSSupportServiceRolePolicy' policy is linked to a service and used only with a service-linked role for that service. You cannot attach, detach, modify, or delete this policy.
The 'AWSServiceRoleForSuppot' is a unique and mandatory service-linked IAM Role, which trusts the support.amazonaws.com service to assume the role.

IAM Policy

You manage access in AWS by creating policies and attaching them to IAM identities or AWS resources. A policy is an object in AWS that, when associated with an entity or resource, defines their permissions. AWS evaluates these policies when a principal, such as a user, makes a request. Permissions in the policies determine whether the request is allowed or denied. Most policies are stored in AWS as JSON documents.
