Amazon managed policies for Amazon GameLift Servers

An Amazon managed policy is a standalone policy that is created and administered by Amazon. Amazon managed policies are designed to provide permissions for many common use cases so that you can start assigning permissions to users, groups, and roles.

Keep in mind that Amazon managed policies might not grant least-privilege permissions for your specific use cases because they're available for all Amazon customers to use. We recommend that you reduce permissions further by defining customer managed policies that are specific to your use cases.

You cannot change the permissions defined in Amazon managed policies. If Amazon updates the permissions defined in an Amazon managed policy, the update affects all principal identities (users, groups, and roles) that the policy is attached to. Amazon is most likely to update an Amazon managed policy when a new Amazon Web Services service is launched or new API operations become available for existing services.

For more information, see Amazon managed policies in the IAM User Guide.

Amazon managed policy: GameLiftContainerFleetPolicy

You can attach GameLiftContainerFleetPolicy to your IAM roles.

The policy grants permissions for compute actions in an Amazon GameLift Servers container fleet. A container fleet is a set of hosting resources that Amazon GameLift Servers manages for you. Amazon GameLift Servers needs permissions to connect to the Amazon GameLift Servers service and other Amazon services on your behalf.

When creating a container fleet with Amazon GameLift Servers, provide an IAM service role with the GameLiftContainerFleetPolicy managed policy attached. For instructions on creating the service role, see Set up an IAM service role for Amazon GameLift Servers.
