issuer

Issuer means any person who issues or proposes to issue any security. Corporations, for example, may issue stock to the public, limited partnerships may issue limited partnership interests, limited liability companies may issue membership interests, and so forth.

An issuer is a corporation, government, agency, or investment trust that sells securities, such as stocks and bonds, to investors. Issuers sell the securities through an underwriter as part of a public offering or as a private placement.

The issuer is the person who writes a policy to grant permissions to a resource. The issuer (by definition) is always the resource owner. AWS does not permit Amazon SQS users to create policies for resources they don't own. If John is the resource owner, AWS authenticates John's identity when he submits the policy he's written to grant permissions for that resource.
