AWS CodeStar Identity-Based Policy Examples
By default, IAM users and roles don't have permission to create or modify AWS CodeStar resources. They also can't perform tasks using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS API. An IAM administrator must create IAM policies that grant users and roles permission to perform specific API operations on the specified resources they need. The administrator must then attach those policies to the IAM users or groups that require those permissions.
To learn how to create an IAM identity-based policy using these example JSON policy documents, see Creating Policies on the JSON Tab in the IAM User Guide.

Policy Best Practices
Identity-based policies determine whether someone can create, access, or delete AWS CodeStar resources in your account. These actions can incur costs for your AWS account. When you create or edit identity-based policies, follow these guidelines and recommendations:
-
Get started with AWS managed policies and move toward least-privilege permissions – To get started granting permissions to your users and workloads, use the AWS managed policies that grant permissions for many common use cases. They are available in your AWS account. We recommend that you reduce permissions further by defining AWS customer managed policies that are specific to your use cases. For more information, see AWS managed policies or AWS managed policies for job functions in the IAM User Guide.
-
Apply least-privilege permissions – When you set permissions with IAM policies, grant only the permissions required to perform a task. You do this by defining the actions that can be taken on specific resources under specific conditions, also known as least-privilege permissions. For more information about using IAM to apply permissions, see Policies and permissions in IAM in the IAM User Guide.
-
Use conditions in IAM policies to further restrict access – You can add a condition to your policies to limit access to actions and resources. For example, you can write a policy condition to specify that all requests must be sent using SSL. You can also use conditions to grant access to service actions if they are used through a specific AWS service, such as AWS CloudFormation. For more information, see IAM JSON policy elements: Condition in the IAM User Guide.
-
Use IAM Access Analyzer to validate your IAM policies to ensure secure and functional permissions – IAM Access Analyzer validates new and existing policies so that the policies adhere to the IAM policy language (JSON) and IAM best practices. IAM Access Analyzer provides more than 100 policy checks and actionable recommendations to help you author secure and functional policies. For more information, see IAM Access Analyzer policy validation in the IAM User Guide.
-
Require multi-factor authentication (MFA) – If you have a scenario that requires IAM users or root users in your account, turn on MFA for additional security. To require MFA when API operations are called, add MFA conditions to your policies. For more information, see Configuring MFA-protected API access in the IAM User Guide.
For more information about best practices in IAM, see Security best practices in IAM in the IAM User Guide.
AWSCodeStarServiceRole Policy
The aws-codestar-service-role
policy is attached to the service role
that allows AWS CodeStar to perform actions with other services. The first time you sign in
to AWS CodeStar, you create the service role. You only need to create it once. The policy
is automatically attached to the service role after you create it.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "ProjectEventRules", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "events:PutTargets", "events:RemoveTargets", "events:PutRule", "events:DeleteRule", "events:DescribeRule" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:events:*:*:rule/awscodestar-*" ] }, { "Sid": "ProjectStack", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "cloudformation:*Stack*", "cloudformation:CreateChangeSet", "cloudformation:ExecuteChangeSet", "cloudformation:DeleteChangeSet", "cloudformation:GetTemplate" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:cloudformation:*:*:stack/awscodestar-*", "arn:aws:cloudformation:*:*:stack/awseb-*", "arn:aws:cloudformation:*:*:stack/aws-cloud9-*", "arn:aws:cloudformation:*:aws:transform/CodeStar*" ] }, { "Sid": "ProjectStackTemplate", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "cloudformation:GetTemplateSummary", "cloudformation:DescribeChangeSet" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Sid": "ProjectQuickstarts", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:GetObject" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::awscodestar-*/*" ] }, { "Sid": "ProjectS3Buckets", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:*" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::aws-codestar-*", "arn:aws:s3:::elasticbeanstalk-*" ] }, { "Sid": "ProjectServices", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "codestar:*", "codecommit:*", "codepipeline:*", "codedeploy:*", "codebuild:*", "autoscaling:*", "cloudwatch:Put*", "ec2:*", "elasticbeanstalk:*", "elasticloadbalancing:*", "iam:ListRoles", "logs:*", "sns:*", "cloud9:CreateEnvironmentEC2", "cloud9:DeleteEnvironment", "cloud9:DescribeEnvironment*", "cloud9:ListEnvironments" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Sid": "ProjectWorkerRoles", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "iam:AttachRolePolicy", "iam:CreateRole", "iam:DeleteRole", "iam:DeleteRolePolicy", "iam:DetachRolePolicy", "iam:GetRole", "iam:PassRole", "iam:GetRolePolicy", "iam:PutRolePolicy", "iam:SetDefaultPolicyVersion", "iam:CreatePolicy", "iam:DeletePolicy", "iam:AddRoleToInstanceProfile", "iam:CreateInstanceProfile", "iam:DeleteInstanceProfile", "iam:RemoveRoleFromInstanceProfile" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:iam::*:role/CodeStarWorker*", "arn:aws:iam::*:policy/CodeStarWorker*", "arn:aws:iam::*:instance-profile/awscodestar-*" ] }, { "Sid": "ProjectTeamMembers", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "iam:AttachUserPolicy", "iam:DetachUserPolicy" ], "Resource": "*", "Condition": { "ArnEquals": { "iam:PolicyArn": [ "arn:aws:iam::*:policy/CodeStar_*" ] } } }, { "Sid": "ProjectRoles", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "iam:CreatePolicy", "iam:DeletePolicy", "iam:CreatePolicyVersion", "iam:DeletePolicyVersion", "iam:ListEntitiesForPolicy", "iam:ListPolicyVersions", "iam:GetPolicy", "iam:GetPolicyVersion" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:iam::*:policy/CodeStar_*" ] }, { "Sid": "InspectServiceRole", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "iam:ListAttachedRolePolicies" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:iam::*:role/aws-codestar-service-role", "arn:aws:iam::*:role/service-role/aws-codestar-service-role" ] }, { "Sid": "IAMLinkRole", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole" ], "Resource": "*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "iam:AWSServiceName": "cloud9.amazonaws.com" } } }, { "Sid": "DescribeConfigRuleForARN", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "config:DescribeConfigRules" ], "Resource": [ "*" ] }, { "Sid": "ProjectCodeStarConnections", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "codestar-connections:UseConnection", "codestar-connections:GetConnection" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Sid": "ProjectCodeStarConnectionsPassConnections", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "codestar-connections:PassConnection", "Resource": "*", "Condition": { "StringEqualsIfExists": { "codestar-connections:PassedToService": "codepipeline.amazonaws.com" } } } ] }
AWSCodeStarFullAccess Policy
In the Setting Up AWS CodeStar instructions, you
attached a policy named AWSCodeStarFullAccess
to your IAM user. This policy statement
allows the user to perform all available actions in AWS CodeStar with all available AWS CodeStar
resources associated with the AWS account. This includes creating and deleting
projects. The following example is a snippet of a representative
AWSCodeStarFullAccess
policy. The actual policy differs depending
on the template you select when you start a new AWS CodeStar project.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "CodeStarEC2", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "codestar:*", "ec2:DescribeKeyPairs", "ec2:DescribeVpcs", "ec2:DescribeSubnets" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Sid": "CodeStarCF", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "cloudformation:DescribeStack*", "cloudformation:GetTemplateSummary" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:cloudformation:*:*:stack/awscodestar-*" ] } ] }
You might not want to give all users this much access. Instead, you can add project-level permissions using project roles managed by AWS CodeStar. The roles grant specific levels of access to AWS CodeStar projects and are named as follows:
-
Owner
-
Contributor
-
Viewer
AWS CodeStar Owner Role Policy
The AWS CodeStar owner role policy allows a user to perform all actions in an
AWS CodeStar project with no restrictions. AWS CodeStar applies the

AWS CodeStar Permissions Boundary Policy
If you create an AWS CodeStar project after December 6, 2018 PDT, AWS CodeStar creates a permissions boundary policy for your project. This policy prevents the escalation of privileges to resources outside the project. It is a dynamic policy that updates as the project evolves. The contents of the policy depend on the type of project you are creating. The following policy is an example. For more information, see IAM Permissions Boundary.

Listing Resources for a Project
In this example, you want to grant a specified IAM user in your AWS account access to list the resources of an AWS CodeStar project.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement" : [ { "Effect" : "Allow", "Action" : [ "codestar:ListResources", ], "Resource" : "arn:aws:codestar:us-east-2:project/
my-first-projec
" } ] }
Using the AWS CodeStar Console
No specific permissions are required to access the AWS CodeStar console,
but you can't do anything useful unless you have either the
AWSCodeStarFullAccess
policy or one of the AWS CodeStar project-level
role: Owner, Contributor, or Viewer. For more information on
AWSCodeStarFullAccess
, see
AWSCodeStarFullAccess Policy. For more
information on the project-level policies, see IAM Policies for Team Members.
You don't need to allow minimum console permissions for users that are making calls only to the AWS CLI or the AWS API. Instead, allow access to only the actions that match the API operation that you're trying to perform.
Allow Users to View Their Own Permissions
This example shows how you might create a policy that allows IAM users to view the inline and managed policies that are attached to their user identity. This policy includes permissions to complete this action on the console or programmatically using the AWS CLI or AWS API.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "ViewOwnUserInfo", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "iam:GetUserPolicy", "iam:ListGroupsForUser", "iam:ListAttachedUserPolicies", "iam:ListUserPolicies", "iam:GetUser" ], "Resource": ["arn:aws:iam::*:user/${aws:username}"] }, { "Sid": "NavigateInConsole", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "iam:GetGroupPolicy", "iam:GetPolicyVersion", "iam:GetPolicy", "iam:ListAttachedGroupPolicies", "iam:ListGroupPolicies", "iam:ListPolicyVersions", "iam:ListPolicies", "iam:ListUsers" ], "Resource": "*" } ] }
Updating an AWS CodeStar Project
In this example, you want to grant a specified IAM user in your AWS account access to edit the attributes of an AWS CodeStar project, such as its project description.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement" : [ { "Effect" : "Allow", "Action" : [ "codestar:UpdateProject" ], "Resource" : "arn:aws:codestar:us-east-2:project/
my-first-projec
" } ] }
Adding a Team Member to a Project
In this example, you want to grant a specified IAM user the ability to add team
members to an AWS CodeStar project with the project ID my-first-projec
, but to explicitly
deny that user the ability to remove team members:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement" : [ { "Effect" : "Allow", "Action" : [ "codestar:AssociateTeamMember", ], "Resource" : "arn:aws:codestar:us-east-2:project/
my-first-projec
" }, { "Effect" : "Deny", "Action" : [ "codestar:DisassociateTeamMember", ], "Resource" : "arn:aws:codestar:us-east-2:project/my-first-projec
" } ] ] }
Listing User Profiles Associated with an AWS Account
In this example, you allow an IAM user who has this policy attached to list all AWS CodeStar user profiles associated with an AWS account:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement" : [ { "Effect" : "Allow", "Action" : [ "codestar:ListUserProfiles", ], "Resource" : "*" } ] }
Viewing AWS CodeStar Projects Based on Tags
You can use conditions in your identity-based policy to control access to
AWS CodeStar projects based on tags. This example shows how you might create a
policy that allows viewing a project. However, permission is granted only if the
Project tag Owner
has the value of that user's user name. This policy
also grants the permissions necessary to complete this action on the console.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "ListProjectsInConsole", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "codestar:ListProjects", "Resource": "*" }, { "Sid": "ViewProjectIfOwner", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "codestar:GetProject, "Resource": "arn:aws:codestar:*:*:project/*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": {"codestar:ResourceTag/Owner": "${aws:username}"} } } ] }
You can attach this policy to the IAM users in your account. If a user named
richard-roe
attempts to view an AWS CodeStar project, the
project must be tagged Owner=richard-roe
or
owner=richard-roe
. Otherwise he is denied access. The condition tag
key Owner
matches both Owner
and owner
because condition key names are not case-sensitive. For more information, see IAM JSON Policy
Elements: Condition in the IAM User Guide.
