Explanation

AWS Organizations uses Service Control Policies (SCPs) to manage permissions across accounts within an organization. By removing the FullAWSAccess policy and replacing it with a policy that allows all actions on Amazon EC2 resources, the effect would be that users in the Development OU can perform all actions on EC2 resources, but will be denied all other AWS actions. This is because an SCP doesn't grant permissions, but instead acts as a guardrail that defines the maximum permissions users and roles can have.
