Manage user permissions for Amazon GameLift Servers FleetIQ
Create additional users or extend Amazon GameLift Servers FleetIQ access permissions to existing users as needed. Users who work with Amazon GameLift Servers FleetIQ game server groups and the related Amazon EC2 and Auto Scaling services must have permissions to access these services.
As a best practice ( Security best practices in IAM), apply least-privilege permissions for all users. You can set permissions for individual users or user groups and limit user access by service, action, or resource.
Use following instructions to set user permissions based on how you manage the users in your Amazon account. If you use IAM users, as a best practice always attach permissions to roles or user groups, not individual users.
To provide access, add permissions to your users, groups, or roles:
-
Users managed in IAM through an identity provider:
Create a role for identity federation. Follow the instructions in Create a role for a third-party identity provider (federation) in the IAM User Guide.
-
IAM users:
-
Create a role that your user can assume. Follow the instructions in Create a role for an IAM user in the IAM User Guide.
-
(Not recommended) Attach a policy directly to a user or add a user to a user group. Follow the instructions in Adding permissions to a user (console) in the IAM User Guide.
