AWS managed policies for Amazon AppFlow

An AWS managed policy is a standalone policy that is created and administered by AWS. AWS 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 AWS managed policies might not grant least-privilege permissions for your specific use cases because they're available for all AWS 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 AWS managed policies. If AWS updates the permissions defined in an AWS managed policy, the update affects all principal identities (users, groups, and roles) that the policy is attached to. AWS is most likely to update an AWS managed policy when a new AWS service is launched or new API operations become available for existing services.

For more information, see AWS managed policies in the IAM User Guide.

AWS managed policy: AmazonAppFlowFullAccess

You can attach the AmazonAppFlowFullAccess policy to your IAM identities.

This policy grants administrative permissions that allow you to view, create, update, run, and delete flows, and also to list, create, and delete connections. In addition, this policy grants access to the API actions that are required to configure other AWS services as a source or destinations. This policy also provides access to AWS Key Management Service to allow use of customer managed CMKs for encryption. It does not grant the ability to add other users.
