Permissions to use AMS features
To allow your users to read and configure AMS Accelerate capabilities, like accessing the AMS Console or configuring backups, you must grant explicit permissions to their IAM roles to perform those actions. The following AWS CloudFormation template contains the policies required to read and configure services associated with AMS so you can assign them to your IAM roles. They are designed to closely align with common job responsibilities in the IT industry, where Administrator or Read-Only permissions are required; however, if you need to grant different permissions to users, you can edit the policy to include or exclude specific permissions. You can also create your own custom policy.
The template provides two policies. The AMSAccelerateAdminAccess policy is meant to be used for setting up and operating
the AMS Accelerate components. This policy is typically assumed by an IT admin and grants permissions to configure AMS
features such as patching and backups. The AMSAccelerateReadOnly grants minimum required permissions for viewing AMS Accelerate-related resources.
