AWS Identity and Access Management permissions for other services

For Amazon Q to provide recommendations in the context of another service, you must enable the correct IAM permissions for either your IAM user or role. You must add the codewhisperer:GenerateRecommendations permission, as outlined in the sample IAM policy below:

Note

The codewhisperer prefix is a legacy name from a service that merged with Amazon Q Developer. For more information, see Amazon Q Developer rename - Summary of changes.

{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "AmazonQDeveloperPermissions", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": ["codewhisperer:GenerateRecommendations"], "Resource": "*" } ] }

It is best practice to use IAM policies to grant restrictive permissions to IAM principals. For details about working with IAM, see Security best practices in the IAM user guide.
