The information in the following sections explains how to create and manage a service-linked role for Amazon Chime SDK Media Pipelines.

Service-linked role permissions for Amazon Chime SDK media pipelines

Amazon Chime uses the service-linked role named AWSServiceRoleForAmazonChimeSDKMediaPipelines – Allows Amazon Chime SDK media pipelines to access Amazon Chime SDK meetings on your behalf.

The AWSServiceRoleForAmazonChimeSDKMediaPipelines service-linked role trusts the following services to assume the role:

The role allows Amazon Chime to complete the following actions on the specified resources:

• Action: chime:CreateAttendee on all AWS resources

You must configure permissions to allow an IAM entity (such as a user, group, or role) to create, edit, or delete a service-linked role. For more information, see Service-Linked Role Permissions in the IAM User Guide.
