Managing notifications

Note

For greater security, create federated users instead of IAM users whenever possible.

Notifications allow IAM users or roles to call the CreateNotificationSubscription API, which you can use to set your own endpoint for processing the SNS messages that WorkDocs sends. For more information about notifications, see Setting up notifications for an IAM user or role in the Amazon WorkDocs Developer Guide.

You can create and delete notifications, and the following steps explain how to do both tasks.

Note

To create a notification, you must have your IAM or role ARN. To find your IAM ARN, do the following:

1. Open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/.

2. In the navigation bar, select Users.

3. Select your user name.

4. Under Summary, copy your ARN.
