Prerequisites for connecting Amazon Q Business to Drupal
Before you begin, make sure that you have completed the following prerequisites.
In Drupal, make sure you have:
-
Created a Drupal (Standard) Suite account and a user with an administrator role.
-
Copied your Drupal site name and configured a host URL. For example,
https://<hostname>/<drupalsitename>. -
Configured basic authentication credentials containing a username (Drupal website login username) and password (Drupal website password).
-
Recommended: Configured an OAuth 2.0 credential token. Use this token along with your Drupal password grant, client id, client secret, username (Drupal website login username) and password (Drupal website password) to connect to Amazon Q.
-
Added the following permissions in your Drupal account using an administrator role:
-
administer blocks
-
administer block_content display

-
administer block_content form display
-
administer views
-
view user email addresses

Note
If there are user defined content types or user defined block types, or any views and blocks are added to the Drupal website, they must be provided with administrator access.
-
In your AWS account, make sure you have:
-
Created an IAM role for your data source and, if using the Amazon Q API, noted the ARN of the IAM role.
-
Stored your Drupal authentication credentials in an AWS Secrets Manager secret and, if using the Amazon Q API, noted the ARN of the secret.
Note
If you’re a console user, you can create the IAM role and Secrets Manager secret as part of configuring your Amazon Q application on the console.
