ElastiCache API permissions: Actions, resources, and conditions reference

When you set up access control and write permissions policies to attach to an IAM policy (either idenity-based or resource-based), use the following table as a reference. The table lists each Amazon ElastiCache API operation and the corresponding actions for which you can grant permissions to perform the action. You specify the actions in the policy's Action field, and you specify a resource value in the policy's Resource field. Unless indicated otherwise, the resource is required. Some fields include both a required resource and optional resources. When there is no resource ARN, the resource in the policy is a wildcard (*).

You can use condition keys in your ElastiCache policies to express conditions. To see a list of ElastiCache-specific condition keys, along with the actions and resource types to which they apply, see Using condition keys. For a complete list of Amazon-wide keys, see Amazon global condition context keys in the IAM User Guide.

To see a list of ElastiCache actions, see Actions Defined by Amazon ElastiCache in the Service Authorization Reference.
