Configuring permissions for Systems Manager Application Manager
You can use all features of Application Manager, a capability of AWS Systems Manager, if your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) entity (such as a user, group, or role) has access to the API operations listed in this topic. The API operations are separated into two tables to help you understand the different functions they perform.
The following table lists the API operations that Systems Manager calls if you choose a
resource in Application Manager because you want to view the resource details. For example, if
Application Manager lists an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group, and if you choose that group to view its details,
then Systems Manager calls the autoscaling:DescribeAutoScalingGroups API
operations. If you don't have any Auto Scaling groups in your account, this API operation
isn't called from Application Manager.

The following table lists the API operations that Systems Manager uses to make changes to applications and resources listed in Application Manager or to view operations information for a selected application or resource.

Configuring permissions
To configure Application Manager permissions for an IAM entity (such as a user, group, or role), create an IAM policy using the following example. This policy example includes all API operations used by Application Manager.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "acm:DescribeCertificate", "acm:ListTagsForCertificate", "applicationinsights:CreateApplication", "applicationinsights:DescribeApplication", "applicationinsights:ListProblems", "autoscaling:DescribeAutoScalingGroups", "ce:GetCostAndUsage", "ce:GetTags", "ce:ListCostAllocationTags", "ce:UpdateCostAllocationTagsStatus", "cloudformation:CreateStack", "cloudformation:DeleteStack", "cloudformation:DescribeStackDriftDetectionStatus", "cloudformation:DescribeStackEvents", "cloudformation:DescribeStacks", "cloudformation:DetectStackDrift", "cloudformation:GetTemplate", "cloudformation:GetTemplateSummary", "cloudformation:ListStacks", "cloudformation:ListStackResources", "cloudformation:UpdateStack", "cloudfront:GetDistribution", "cloudfront:ListTagsForResource", "cloudtrail:DescribeTrails", "cloudtrail:ListTags", "cloudtrail:LookupEvents", "cloudwatch:DescribeAlarms", "cloudwatch:DescribeInsightRules", "cloudwatch:DisableAlarmActions", "cloudwatch:EnableAlarmActions", "cloudwatch:GetMetricData", "cloudwatch:ListTagsForResource", "cloudwatch:PutMetricAlarm", "codebuild:BatchGetProjects", "codepipeline:GetPipeline", "codepipeline:ListTagsForResource", "config:DescribeComplianceByConfigRule", "config:DescribeComplianceByResource", "config:DescribeConfigRules", "config:DescribeRemediationConfigurations", "config:GetComplianceDetailsByConfigRule", "config:GetComplianceDetailsByResource", "config:GetResourceConfigHistory", "config:ListDiscoveredResources", "config:PutRemediationConfigurations", "config:SelectResourceConfig", "config:StartConfigRulesEvaluation", "config:StartRemediationExecution", "dynamodb:DescribeTable", "dynamodb:ListTagsOfResource", "ec2:DescribeAddresses", "ec2:DescribeCustomerGateways", "ec2:DescribeHosts", "ec2:DescribeInstances", "ec2:DescribeInternetGateways", "ec2:DescribeNetworkAcls", "ec2:DescribeNetworkInterfaces", "ec2:DescribeRouteTables", "ec2:DescribeSecurityGroups", "ec2:DescribeSubnets", "ec2:DescribeVolumes", "ec2:DescribeVpcs", "ec2:DescribeVpnConnections", "ec2:DescribeVpnGateways", "ecs:DescribeCapacityProviders", "ecs:DescribeClusters", "ecs:DescribeContainerInstances", "ecs:ListClusters", "ecs:ListContainerInstances", "ecs:TagResource", "eks:DescribeCluster", "eks:DescribeFargateProfile", "eks:DescribeNodegroup", "eks:ListClusters", "eks:ListFargateProfiles", "eks:ListNodegroups", "eks:TagResource", "elasticbeanstalk:DescribeApplications", "elasticbeanstalk:ListTagsForResource", "elasticloadbalancing:DescribeInstanceHealth", "elasticloadbalancing:DescribeListeners", "elasticloadbalancing:DescribeLoadBalancers", "elasticloadbalancing:DescribeTags", "iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole", "iam:GetGroup", "iam:GetPolicy", "iam:GetRole", "iam:GetUser", "iam:ListRoles", "lambda:GetFunction", "logs:DescribeLogGroups", "rds:DescribeDBClusters", "rds:DescribeDBInstances", "rds:DescribeDBSecurityGroups", "rds:DescribeDBSnapshots", "rds:DescribeDBSubnetGroups", "rds:DescribeEventSubscriptions", "rds:ListTagsForResource", "redshift:DescribeClusterParameters", "redshift:DescribeClusters", "redshift:DescribeClusterSecurityGroups", "redshift:DescribeClusterSnapshots", "redshift:DescribeClusterSubnetGroups", "resource-groups:CreateGroup", "resource-groups:DeleteGroup", "resource-groups:GetGroup", "resource-groups:GetGroupQuery", "resource-groups:GetTags", "resource-groups:ListGroupResources", "resource-groups:ListGroups", "resource-groups:Tag", "resource-groups:Untag", "resource-groups:UpdateGroup", "s3:GetBucketTagging", "s3:ListAllMyBuckets", "s3:ListBucket", "s3:ListBucketVersions", "servicecatalog:GetApplication", "servicecatalog:ListApplications", "sns:CreateTopic", "sns:ListSubscriptionsByTopic", "sns:ListTopics", "sns:Subscribe", "ssm:AddTagsToResource", "ssm:CreateDocument", "ssm:CreateOpsMetadata", "ssm:DeleteDocument", "ssm:DeleteOpsMetadata", "ssm:DescribeAssociation", "ssm:DescribeAutomationExecutions", "ssm:DescribeDocument", "ssm:DescribeDocumentPermission", "ssm:GetDocument", "ssm:GetInventory", "ssm:GetOpsMetadata", "ssm:GetOpsSummary", "ssm:GetServiceSetting", "ssm:ListAssociations", "ssm:ListComplianceItems", "ssm:ListDocuments", "ssm:ListDocumentVersions", "ssm:ListOpsMetadata", "ssm:ListResourceComplianceSummaries", "ssm:ListTagsForResource", "ssm:ModifyDocumentPermission", "ssm:RemoveTagsFromResource", "ssm:StartAssociationsOnce", "ssm:StartAutomationExecution", "ssm:UpdateDocument", "ssm:UpdateDocumentDefaultVersion", "ssm:UpdateOpsMetadata", "ssm:UpdateOpsItem", "ssm:UpdateServiceSetting", "tag:GetResources", "tag:GetTagKeys", "tag:GetTagValues", "tag:TagResources", "tag:UntagResources" ], "Resource": "*" } ] }
Note
You can restrict a user's ability to make changes to applications and resources in Application Manager by removing the following API operations from the IAM permissions policy attached to their user, group, or role. Removing these actions creates a read-only experience in Application Manager. The following are all of the APIs that allow users to make changes to the application or any other related resources.
applicationinsights:CreateApplication ce:UpdateCostAllocationTagsStatus cloudformation:CreateStack cloudformation:DeleteStack cloudformation:UpdateStack cloudwatch:DisableAlarmActions cloudwatch:EnableAlarmActions cloudwatch:PutMetricAlarm config:PutRemediationConfigurations config:StartConfigRulesEvaluation config:StartRemediationExecution ecs:TagResource eks:TagResource iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole resource-groups:CreateGroup resource-groups:DeleteGroup resource-groups:Tag resource-groups:Untag resource-groups:UpdateGroup sns:CreateTopic sns:Subscribe ssm:AddTagsToResource ssm:CreateDocument ssm:CreateOpsMetadata ssm:DeleteDocument ssm:DeleteOpsMetadata ssm:ModifyDocumentPermission ssm:RemoveTagsFromResource ssm:StartAssociationsOnce ssm:StartAutomationExecution ssm:UpdateDocument ssm:UpdateDocumentDefaultVersion ssm:UpdateOpsMetadata ssm:UpdateOpsItem ssm:UpdateServiceSetting tag:TagResources tag:UntagResources
