Amazon managed policies for MSK Connect

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: AmazonMSKConnectReadOnlyAccess

Amazon managed policy: KafkaConnectServiceRolePolicy

This policy grants the MSK Connect service the permissions that are needed to create and manage network interfaces that have the tag AmazonMSKConnectManaged:true. These network interfaces give MSK Connect network access to resources in your Amazon VPC, such as an Apache Kafka cluster or a source or a sink.

You can't attach KafkaConnectServiceRolePolicy to your IAM entities. This policy is attached to a service-linked role that allows MSK Connect to perform actions on your behalf.
