AWS managed policies for Amazon Connect
To add permissions to users, groups, and roles, it is more efficient to use AWS managed policies than to write policies yourself. It takes time and expertise to create IAM customer managed policies that provide your team with only the permissions that they need. To get started quickly, you can use AWS managed policies. These policies cover common use cases and are available in your AWS account. For more information about AWS managed policies, see AWS managed policies in the IAM User Guide.
AWS services maintain and update AWS managed policies. You can't change the permissions in AWS managed policies. Services occasionally add additional permissions to an AWS managed policy to support new features. This type of update affects all identities (users, groups, and roles) where the policy is attached. Services are most likely to update an AWS managed policy when a new feature is launched or when new operations become available. Services do not remove permissions from an AWS managed policy, so policy updates won't break your existing permissions.
Additionally, AWS supports managed policies for job functions that span multiple services. For example, the ReadOnlyAccess AWS managed policy provides read-only access to all AWS services and resources. When a service launches a new feature, AWS adds read-only permissions for new operations and resources. For a list and descriptions of job function policies, see AWS managed policies for job functions in the IAM User Guide.
AWS managed policy: AmazonConnect_FullAccess
To allow full read/write access to Amazon Connect, you must attach two policies to your IAM
users, groups, or roles. Attach the AmazonConnect_FullAccess
policy and a
custom policy to have full access to Amazon Connect.
To view the permissions for the AmazonConnect_FullAccess
policy, see
AmazonConnect_FullAccess in the AWS Managed Policy
Reference.
Custom Policy
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "AttachAnyPolicyToAmazonConnectRole", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "iam:PutRolePolicy", "Resource": "arn:aws:iam::*:role/aws-service-role/connect.amazonaws.com/AWSServiceRoleForAmazonConnect*" } ] }
To allow a user to create an instance, ensure that they have the permissions granted
by the AmazonConnect_FullAccess
policy.
When you use AmazonConnect_FullAccess
policy, note the following:
-
The custom policy that contains the
iam:PutRolePolicy
action, allows the user with this policy assigned to configure any resource in the account to work with an Amazon Connect instance. Since this added action grants such broad permissions, only assign it when necessary. As an alternative, you can create the service-linked role with access to the necessary resources and let the user have access to pass the service-linked role to Amazon Connect (which is granted by theAmazonConnect_FullAccess
policy). -
Additional privileges are required to create a Amazon S3 bucket with a name of your choosing, or use an existing bucket while creating or updating an instance from the Amazon Connect admin website. If you choose default storage locations for your call recordings, chat transcripts, call transcripts, and other data, the system prepends "amazon-connect-" to the names of those objects.
-
The aws/connect KMS key is available to use as a default encryption option. To use a custom encryption key, assign users additional KMS privileges.
-
Assign users additional privileges to attach other AWS resources like Amazon Polly, Live Media Streaming, Data Streaming, and Lex bots to their Amazon Connect instances.
For more information and detailed permissions, see Required permissions for using custom IAM policies to manage access to the Amazon Connect console.
AWS managed policy: AmazonConnectReadOnlyAccess
To allow read-only access, you can attach the
AmazonConnectReadOnlyAccess
policy.
To view the permissions for this policy, see AmazonConnectReadOnlyAccess in the AWS Managed Policy Reference.
AWS managed policy: AmazonConnectServiceLinkedRolePolicy
This policy is attached to the service-linked role named
AmazonConnectServiceLinkedRolePolicy
to allow Amazon Connect to
perform various actions on specified resources. As you enable additional features in
Amazon Connect, additional permissions are added for the AWSServiceRoleForAmazonConnect service-linked role to access the resources
associated with those features.
To view the permissions for this policy, see AmazonConnectServiceLinkedRolePolicy in the AWS Managed Policy Reference.
AWS managed policy: AmazonConnectCampaignsServiceLinkedRolePolicy
The AmazonConnectCampaignsServiceLinkedRolePolicy
role permissions
policy allows Amazon Connect outbound campaigns to perform various actions on specified
resources. As you enable additional features in Amazon Connect, additional
permissions are added for the AWSServiceRoleForConnectCampaigns service-linked role to access the
resources associated with those features.
To view the permissions for this policy, see AmazonConnectCampaignsServiceLinkedRolePolicy in the AWS Managed Policy Reference.
AWS managed policy: AmazonConnectVoiceIDFullAccess
To allow full access to Amazon Connect Voice ID, you must attach two policies to your users,
groups, or roles. Attach the AmazonConnectVoiceIDFullAccess
policy and a
custom policy to access Voice ID through the Amazon Connect admin website.
To view the permissions for the AmazonConnectVoiceIDFullAccess
policy,
see AmazonConnectVoiceIDFullAccess in the AWS Managed Policy
Reference.
Custom policy
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "AttachAnyPolicyToAmazonConnectRole", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "iam:PutRolePolicy", "Resource": "arn:aws:iam::*:role/aws-service-role/connect.amazonaws.com/AWSServiceRoleForAmazonConnect*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "connect:CreateIntegrationAssociation", "connect:DeleteIntegrationAssociation", "connect:ListIntegrationAssociations" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "events:DeleteRule", "events:PutRule", "events:PutTargets", "events:RemoveTargets" ], "Resource": "*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "events:ManagedBy": "connect.amazonaws.com" } } } ] }
The custom policy configures the following:
-
The
iam:PutRolePolicy
allows the user who gets that policy to configure any resource in the account to work with the Amazon Connect instance. Due to its broad scope, grant this permission only when absolutely necessary. -
Attaching a Voice ID domain to an Amazon Connect instance requires additional Amazon Connect and Amazon EventBridge permissions. You need permissions to call Amazon Connect APIs for creating, deleting, and listing integration associations. Additionally, EventBridge permissions are required to create and delete rules that provide contact records related to Voice ID.
Amazon Connect Voice ID does not have a default encryption option, so you must allow the following API operations in the key policy to use your customer-managed key. Additionally, you need to grant these permissions on the relevant key, as they are not included in the managed policy.
-
kms:Decrypt
- to access or store encrypted data. -
kms:CreateGrant
– when creating or updating a domain, used to create a grant to the customer managed key for the Voice ID domain. The grant controls access to the specified KMS key which allows access to grant operations Amazon Connect Voice ID requires. For more information about using grants, see Using grants in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide. -
kms:DescribeKey
– when creating or updating a domain, allows determining the ARN for KMS key you provided.
For more about creating domains and KMS keys, see Get started enabling Voice ID in Amazon Connect and Encryption at rest in Amazon Connect.
AWS managed policy: CustomerProfilesServiceLinkedRolePolicy
The CustomerProfilesServiceLinkedRolePolicy
role permissions policy
allows Amazon Connect to perform various actions on specified resources. As you
enable additional features in Amazon Connect, additional permissions are added for the
AWSServiceRoleForProfile
service-linked role to access the resources associated with those features.
To view the permissions for this policy, see CustomerProfilesServiceLinkedRolePolicy in the AWS Managed Policy Reference.
AWS managed policy: AmazonConnectSynchronizationServiceRolePolicy
The AmazonConnectSynchronizationServiceRolePolicy
permissions policy
allows Amazon Connect Managed Synchronization to perform various actions on
specified resources. As resource synchronization is enabled for more resources,
additional permissions are added to the AWSServiceRoleForAmazonConnectSynchronization service-linked role to access
these resources.
To view the permissions for this policy, see AmazonConnectSynchronizationServiceRolePolicy in the AWS Managed Policy Reference.
