Using the Amazon IoT Events console - Amazon IoT Events
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

End of support notice: On May 20, 2026, Amazon end support for Amazon IoT Events. After May 20, 2026, you will no longer be able to access the Amazon IoT Events console or Amazon IoT Events resources. For more information, visit this Amazon IoT Events end of support.

Using the Amazon IoT Events console

To access the Amazon IoT Events console, you must have a minimum set of permissions. These permissions must allow you to list and view details about the Amazon IoT Events resources in your Amazon Web Services account. If you create an identity-based policy that is more restrictive than the minimum required permissions, the console won't function as intended for entities (users or roles) with that policy.

To ensure that those entities can still use the Amazon IoT Events console, also attach the following Amazon managed policy to the entities. For more information, see Adding permissions to a user in the IAM User Guide:

You don't need to allow minimum console permissions for users that are making calls only to the Amazon CLI or the Amazon API. Instead, allow access to only the actions that match the API operation that you're trying to perform.
