Users: Tracks assigned permissions and usage of various identities.
Groups: Tracks assigned permissions and usage of the group and the group members.
Active Resources: Tracks resources that identities have performed actions on (in the last 90 days).
Active Tasks: Tracks active tasks (performed in the last 90 days).
Access Keys: Tracks the permission usage of access keys for a given user.
Serverless Functions: Tracks assigned permissions and usage of the serverless functions.
