Permissions for users

A user must have the following permissions to use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager.

Note

  • The ec2:DescribeAvailabilityZones, ec2:DescribeRegions, kms:ListAliases, and kms:DescribeKey permissions are required for console users only. If console access is not required, you can remove the permissions.

  • The ARN format of the AWSDataLifecycleManagerDefaultRole role differs depending on whether it was created using the console or the Amazon CLI. If the role was created using the console, the ARN format is arn:aws:iam::account_id:role/service-role/AWSDataLifecycleManagerDefaultRole. If the role was created using the Amazon CLI, the ARN format is arn:aws:iam::account_id:role/AWSDataLifecycleManagerDefaultRole The following policy assumes the role was created using the Amazon CLI.
