Grant permissions to users for Quote Confirmation - AWS Elemental Appliances and Software Quote Confirmation

Grant permissions to users for Quote Confirmation

Access to the Quote Confirmation service is granted through AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies that are assigned to each user provisioned within an account. The AWS account root user (the login for the person who created the AWS account; sometimes referred to as the “account admin”) has access to all services by default and doesn't need to add any IAM policies to their user profile to use the Quote Confirmation service.

The root user can create additional users under the same AWS account. For example, you can create users with the permission to place new orders and other users with permission to download software and open technical support cases. For information about creating additional users under the same AWS account, see Creating IAM users (Console) in the IAM User Guide.

To view and place orders, any additional users on the account must have the ElementalAppliancesSoftwareFullAccess IAM policy.

To add the policy to users
  1. Log in to your AWS account.

  2. From the account drop-down list, choose My Security Credentials.

  3. If you see a message that indicates that you are accessing the security credentials page for your AWS account, choose Continue to Security Credentials.

  4. From the menu on the left, choose Users, and then choose the user to whom you wish to grant viewing or ordering permissions.

  5. On the Summary page, choose Add permissions, and then choose Attach policies directly.

  6. In the search field, enter ElementalAppliances.

  7. Choose ElementalAppliancesSoftwareFullAccess, and then choose Next.

  8. On the Review page, choose Add permissions to add the policy.

  9. Repeat the steps for each user on the account that needs permissions.
