@@ -11,18 +11,21 @@ This rule enforces whether or not the `I` prefix is required for interface names
 The `_` prefix is sometimes used to designate a private declaration, so the rule also supports a private interface
 that might be named `_IAnimal` instead of `IAnimal`.
 
+Finally, there are a few rare names that look like an `I` prefix, such as Identity and Access Management, more commonly refereed to as "IAM".
+For these rare names, the rule can be provided an array of names to allow, via the `allowedPrefixes` option.
+
 ## Options
 
 This rule has an object option:
 
-- `{ "prefixWithI": "never" }`: (default) disallows all interfaces being prefixed with `"I"` or `"_I"`
+- `{ "prefixWithI": "never", "allowedPrefixes": [] }`: (default) disallows all interfaces being prefixed with `"I"` or `"_I"`
 - `{ "prefixWithI": "always" }`: requires all interfaces be prefixed with `"I"` (but does not allow `"_I"`)
 - `{ "prefixWithI": "always", "allowUnderscorePrefix": true }`: requires all interfaces be prefixed with
   either `"I"` or `"_I"`
 
 For backwards compatibility, this rule supports a string option instead:
 
-- `"never"`: Equivalent to `{ "prefixWithI": "never" }`
+- `"never"`: Equivalent to `{ "prefixWithI": "never", "allowedPrefixes": [] }`
 - `"always"`: Equivalent to `{ "prefixWithI": "always" }`
