Configure permissions for your IPAM
Before you begin using IPAM, you must choose one of the options in this section to enable IPAM to monitor CIDRs associated with EC2 networking resources and store metrics:
-
To enable IPAM to integrate with Amazon Organizations to enable the Amazon VPC IPAM service to manage and monitor networking resources created by all Amazon Organizations member accounts, see Integrate IPAM with accounts in an Amazon Organization.
-
After you integrate with Amazon Organizations, to integrate IPAM with accounts outside of your organization, see Integrate IPAM with accounts outside of your organization.
-
To use a single Amazon account with IPAM and enable the Amazon VPC IPAM service to manage and monitor the networking resources you create with the single account, see Use IPAM with a single account.
If you do not choose one of these options, you can still create IPAM resources, such as pools, but you won't see metrics in your dashboard and you will not be able to monitor the status of resources.
