Dynamo DB Permissions
See Amazon Dynamo DB for more information about DB permissions.
The ListTables permission requires all resources (*) to be selected (as it needs to be able to list all the DynamoDB tables), but the others can have policies that are more limited (for example, to a particular table) as per the DynamoDB API Permissions reference. The most basic and permissive Policy document that could be assigned to the user that would guarantee all the required permissions are granted would be:
