AWS managed policies for CloudWatch Network Monitor
To add permissions to users, groups, and roles, it is easier to use AWS managed policies than to write policies yourself. It takes time and expertise to create IAM customer managed policies that provide your team with only the permissions they need. To get started quickly, you can use our AWS managed policies. These policies cover common use cases and are available in your AWS account. For more information about AWS managed policies, see AWS managed policies in the IAM User Guide.
AWS services maintain and update AWS managed policies. You can't change the permissions in AWS managed policies. Services occasionally add additional permissions to an AWS managed policy to support new features. This type of update affects all identities (users, groups, and roles) where the policy is attached. Services are most likely to update an AWS managed policy when a new feature is launched or when new operations become available. Services do not remove permissions from an AWS managed policy, so policy updates won't break your existing permissions.
Additionally, AWS supports managed policies for job functions that span multiple
services. For example, the ReadOnlyAccess
AWS managed policy provides read-only
access to all AWS services and resources. When a service launches a new feature, AWS adds
read-only permissions for new operations and resources. For a list and descriptions of job
function policies, see AWS managed policies for
job functions in the IAM User Guide.
AWS managed policy: CloudWatchNetworkMonitorServiceRolePolicy
The CloudWatchNetworkMonitorServiceRolePolicy
is attached to a service-linked
role that allows the service to perform actions on your behalf and access resources associated
with CloudWatch Network Monitor. You cannot attach this policy to your IAM identities. For more
information, see Using a service-linked role for
CloudWatch Network Monitor.
