I'm porting a build onto stackup and are discovering one by one the IAM permissions that stackup's up command requires.

            "cloudformation:CreateStack",
            "cloudformation:UpdateStack",
            "cloudformation:DescribeStacks",
            "cloudformation:DescribeStackEvents",

Would be good to mention these (and any others Ive yet to discover) in the docs around credentials.

Out of interest what approach are you using to grant the appropriate permissions required for a stack update?

Keen to hear a way I can manage this with a reasonable tradeoff between speed of development & principle of least privilege.
