Using service-linked roles for Amazon EMR

Amazon EMR uses Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) service-linked roles. A service-linked role is a unique type of IAM role that is linked directly to Amazon EMR. Service-linked roles are predefined by Amazon EMR and include all the permissions that the service requires to call other Amazon services on your behalf.
