All this assumes you’re not getting vectors as a transition from the STAR routing to published points or segments on the approach. (In which case you would maintain the last ATC assigned altitude until established on a published segment of the approach.)

No, If you were cleared to descend via STAR, it's OK! But if it were RADAR VECTORS to IAF and after ATC : "proceed direct IAF, CLEARED ILS RW..." .Does it mean that we're able to descend as published?
