IAM access roles for Amazon Kendra

When you create an index, data source, or an FAQ, Amazon Kendra needs access to the AWS resources required to create the Amazon Kendra resource. You must create a AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy before you create the Amazon Kendra resource. When you call the operation, you provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the role with the policy attached. For example, if you are calling the BatchPutDocument API to add documents from an Amazon S3 bucket, you provide Amazon Kendra with a role with a policy that has access to the bucket.

You can create a new IAM role in the Amazon Kendra console or choose an IAM existing role to use. The console displays roles that have the string "kendra" or "Kendra" in the role name.

The following topics provide details for the required policies. If you create IAM roles using the Amazon Kendra console these policies are created for you.

IAM roles for indexes

When you create an index, you must provide an IAM role with permission to write to an Amazon CloudWatch. You must also provide a trust policy that allows Amazon Kendra to assume the role. The following are the policies that must be provided.

   "Statement":[
      {
         "Effect":"Allow",
         "Principal":{
            "Service":"kendra.amazonaws.com"
         },
         "Action":"sts:AssumeRole"
      }
   ]
}

IAM roles for the BatchPutDocument API

Warning

Amazon Kendra doesn't use a bucket policy that grants permissions to an Amazon Kendra principal to interact with an S3 bucket. Instead, it uses IAM roles. Make sure that Amazon Kendra isn't included as a trusted member in your bucket policy to avoid any data security issues in accidentally granting permissions to arbitrary principals. However, you can add a bucket policy to use an Amazon S3 bucket across different accounts. For more information, see Policies to use Amazon S3 across accounts. For information about IAM roles for S3 data sources, see IAM roles.

When you use the BatchPutDocument API to index documents in an Amazon S3 bucket, you must provide Amazon Kendra with an IAM role with access to the bucket. You must also provide a trust policy that allows Amazon Kendra to assume the role. If the documents in the bucket are encrypted, you must provide permission to use the AWS KMS customer master key (CMK) to decrypt the documents.

IAM roles for the BatchPutDocument API

A required role policy to allow Amazon Kendra to access an Amazon S3 bucket.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:GetObject"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

A trust policy to allow Amazon Kendra to assume a role.

{
   "Version":"2012-10-17",
   "Statement":[
      {
         "Effect":"Allow",
         "Principal":{
            "Service":"kendra.amazonaws.com"
         },
         "Action":"sts:AssumeRole"
      }
   ]
}

It is recommended that you include aws:sourceAccount and aws:sourceArn in the trust policy. This limits permissions and securely checks if aws:sourceAccount and aws:sourceArn are the same as provided in the IAM role policy for the sts:AssumeRole action. This prevents unauthorized entities from accessing your IAM roles and their permissions. For more information, see the AWS Identity and Access Management guide on the confused deputy problem.

            ]

IAM roles for database data sources

When you use a database as a data source, you provide Amazon Kendra with a role that has the permissions necessary for connecting to the . These include:

• Permission to access the AWS Secrets Manager secret that contains the user name and password for the site. For more information about the contents of the secret, see data sources.

• Permission to use the AWS KMS customer master key (CMK) to decrypt the user name and password secret stored by Secrets Manager.

• Permission to use the BatchPutDocument and BatchDeleteDocument operations to update the index.

• Permission to access the Amazon S3 bucket that contains the SSL certificate used to communicate with the site.

Note

You can connect database data sources to Amazon Kendra through Amazon VPC. If you are using a Amazon VPC, you need to add additional permissions.

IAM roles for Amazon S3 data sources

Warning

Amazon Kendra doesn't use a bucket policy that grants permissions to an Amazon Kendra principal to interact with an S3 bucket. Instead, it uses IAM roles. Make sure that Amazon Kendra isn't included as a trusted member in your bucket policy to avoid any data security issues in accidentally granting permissions to arbitrary principals. However, you can add a bucket policy to use an Amazon S3 bucket across different accounts. For more information, see Policies to use Amazon S3 across accounts (scroll down).

When you use an Amazon S3 bucket as a data source, you supply a role that has permission to access the bucket, and to use the BatchPutDocument and BatchDeleteDocument operations. If the documents in the Amazon S3 bucket are encrypted, you must provide permission to use the AWS KMS customer master key (CMK) to decrypt the documents.

The following role policies must allow Amazon Kendra to assume a role. Scroll further down to view a trust policy to assume a role.

IAM roles for principal mapping of users and groups

When you use the PutPrincipalMapping API to map users to their groups for filtering search results by user context, you need to provide a list of users or sub groups that belong to a group. If your list is more than 1000 users or sub groups for a group, you need to supply a role that has permission to access the Amazon S3 file of your list and the Amazon S3 bucket. If the text file (the Amazon S3 file) of the list in the Amazon S3 bucket is encrypted, you must provide permission to use the AWS KMS customer master key (CMK) to decrypt the documents.

It is recommended that you include aws:sourceAccount and aws:sourceArn in the trust policy. This limits permissions and securely checks if aws:sourceAccount and aws:sourceArn are the same as provided in the IAM role policy for the sts:AssumeRole action. This prevents unauthorized entities from accessing your IAM roles and their permissions. For more information, see the AWS Identity and Access Management guide on the confused deputy problem.

          ]
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

A trust policy to allow Amazon Kendra to assume a role.

{
   "Version":"2012-10-17",
   "Statement":[
      {
         "Effect":"Allow",

         },
         "Action":"sts:AssumeRole"
      }
   ]
}

It is recommended that you include aws:sourceAccount and aws:sourceArn in the trust policy. This limits permissions and securely checks if aws:sourceAccount and aws:sourceArn are the same as provided in the IAM role policy for the sts:AssumeRole action. This prevents unauthorized entities from accessing your IAM roles and their permissions. For more information, see the AWS Identity and Access Management guide on the confused deputy problem.

IAM roles for Custom Document Enrichment

When you use the CustomDocumentEnrichmentConfiguration object to apply advanced alterations of your document metadata and content, you must supply a role that has the required permissions to run PreExtractionHookConfiguration and/or PostExtractionHookConfiguration. You configure a Lambda function for PreExtractionHookConfiguration and/or PostExtractionHookConfiguration to apply advanced alterations of your document metadata and content during the ingestion process. If you choose to activate Server Side Encryption for your Amazon S3 bucket, you must provide permission to use the AWS KMS customer master key (CMK) to encrypt and decrypt the objects stored in your Amazon S3 bucket.
