IAM policies to use CloudWatch RUM

To be able to fully manage CloudWatch RUM, you must be signed in as an IAM user or role that has the AmazonCloudWatchRUMFullAccess IAM policy. Additionally, you may need other policies or permissions:

• To create an app monitor that creates a new Amazon Cognito identity pool for authorization, you need to have the Admin IAM role or the AdministratorAccess IAM policy.

• 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.
