  • To create an app monitor that sends data to CloudWatch Logs, you must be logged on to an IAM role or policy that has the following permission:

    { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "logs:PutResourcePolicy" ], "Resource": [ "*" ] }

Other users who need to view CloudWatch RUM data but don't need to create CloudWatch RUM resources, can be granted the AmazonCloudWatchRUMReadOnlyAccess policy.
