Creating an IAM role to allow Amazon Neptune to access Amazon S3 resources

To create a new IAM role that allows Neptune access to Amazon S3

1. Open the IAM console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/iam/.

2. In the navigation pane, choose Roles.

3. Choose Create role.

4. Under Amazon service, choose S3.

5. Choose Next: Permissions.

6. Use the filter box to filter by the term S3 and check the box next to AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess.

   Note

   This policy grants s3:Get* and s3:List* permissions to all buckets. Later steps restrict access to the role using the trust policy.

   The loader only requires s3:Get* and s3:List* permissions to the bucket you are loading from, so you can also restrict these permissions by the Amazon S3 resource.

   If your S3 bucket is encrypted, you need to add kms:Decrypt permissions

7. Choose Next: Review.

8. Set Role Name to a name for your IAM role, for example: NeptuneLoadFromS3. You can also add an optional Role Description value, such as "Allows Neptune to access Amazon S3 resources on your behalf."

9. Choose Create Role.

10. In the navigation pane, choose Roles.

11. In the Search field, enter the name of the role you created, and choose the role when it appears in the list.

12. On the Trust Relationships tab, choose Edit trust relationship.

13. In the text field, paste the following trust policy.

    JSON

          },
