Users
Users tab contains a list of IAM users that the policy is directly attached to. This list also contains the Privileged column.
Groups

Roles
Roles tab contains a list of IAM roles that the policy is attached to. This list also contains the Privileged column.
Permission Sets
Permission Sets tab contains a list of the IAM Identity Center permission sets that include this policy. A policy reaching an account through a permission set is not attached to any principal in that account directly, so it will not appear under Users, Groups or Roles - this tab is the only place that relationship is visible. The list contains the Name, Session Duration and Description columns.
Policy Document
Policy Document tab displays the full JSON content of the IAM policy document, including all statements, actions, effects, and resources defined within the policy. When the policy has several versions, a selector lets you choose the version to show. The default version is marked DEFAULT.
