Description
We should extend the Auth0 rule which creates the amr claim to detect overly matching policy group names (e.g. e) which effectively permit a ton of people and undermine the benefits of the group filtering feature
https://github.com/mozilla-iam/auth0-deploy/blob/master/rules/AWS-Federated-AMR.js
When cases like this are detected we could
- Alert to MozDef that a overly matching policy was authored
- Ignore the overly matching group name when filtering
- Maybe have a whitelist of group names which both match our "is this overly matching" logic but also should indeed be allowed

Research direction
Start with rules/AWS-Federated-AMR.js and review the linked IAM-139 issue for context. Before coding, clarify whether the change should alert MozDef, ignore overly matching groups, support a whitelist, or combine these behaviors. Done means the intended policy behavior and alerting outcome are agreed and implemented.
