Create additional users with viewing and ordering permissions - AWS Elemental Appliances and Software Quote Confirmation

Create additional users with viewing and ordering permissions

Access to the Quote Confirmation service is granted through AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies that are assigned to each user provisioned within an account. For information about IAM policies, see Understanding How IAM Works in the IAM User Guide.

The root account user (the login for the person who created the account; sometimes referred to as the “account admin”) can create additional users under the same AWS account ID. For example, you can create users with the permission to place new orders and other users with permission to download software and open technical support cases. For information about creating additional users under the same AWS account, see Creating IAM Users (Console) in the IAM User Guide.

The root account user has access to all services by default, and does not need to add any IAM policies to their user profile to use the Quote Confirmation service.

To view and place orders, any additional users on the account must have the ElementalAppliancesSoftwareFullAccess IAM policy in place.

To add the policy to users
  1. Log in to your AWS account.

  2. From the account drop-down list, select My Security Credentials.

  3. If you see a message that indicates that you are accessing the security credentials page for your AWS account, select Continue to Security Credentials.

  4. From the menu on the left, select Users, and then select the user to whom you wish to grant viewing and/or ordering permissions.

  5. On the Summary page, select Add permissions, and then select Attach existing policies directly.

  6. In the search field, enter ElementalAppliances.

  7. Select ElementalAppliancesSoftwareFullAccess, and then click Next:Review.

  8. On the Permissions summary page, select Add permissions to return to the Summary page and add the policy.

  9. Repeat steps 4 through 8 for each user on the account that needs permissions.
