Configuring access policies for Performance Insights

To access Performance Insights, a principal must have the appropriate permissions from AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). You can grant access in the following ways:

• Attach the AmazonRDSPerformanceInsightsReadOnly managed policy to a permission set or role to access all read-only operations of the Performance Insights API.

• Attach the AmazonRDSPerformanceInsightsFullAccess managed policy to a permission set or role to access all operations of the Performance Insights API.

• Create a custom IAM policy and attach it to a permission set or role.

If you specified a customer managed key when you turned on Performance Insights, make sure that users in your account have the kms:Decrypt and kms:GenerateDataKey permissions on the AWS KMS key.

In the following sections, attach an AWS managed policy to an IAM principal, create a custom IAM policy, change an AWS KMS policy, and grant fine-grained access for Performance Insights.
