Identity and access management for Data Exports

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an AWS service that helps an administrator securely control access to AWS resources. IAM administrators control who can be authenticated (signed in) and authorized (have permissions) to use Billing resources. IAM is an AWS service that you can use with no additional charge.

To use Data Exports, an IAM user needs to be given access to actions in the bcm-data-exports namespace in IAM. See the following table for the available actions.

Data Exports action Description Access level Resource types Condition keys
CreateExport Allows user to create an Export and specifies query, delivery configurations, schedule configurations, and content configurations. Write

export

table

aws:RequestTag/${TagKey}

aws:TagKeys
UpdateExport Allows user to update an existing Export. Write

export

table

aws:ResourceTag/${TagKey}
DeleteExport Allows user to delete an existing Export. Write

export

aws:ResourceTag/${TagKey}
GetExport Allows user to view an existing Export. Read

export

aws:ResourceTag/${TagKey}
ListExports Allows user to list all existing Exports. Read
GetExecution Allows user to see details of the given Execution, including metadata and schema of the exported data. Read

export

aws:ResourceTag/${TagKey}
ListExecutions Allows user to list all Executions of the provided Export identifier. Read

export

aws:ResourceTag/${TagKey}
GetTable Allows user to get the schema of the given table. Read

table
ListTables Allows user to list all available tables. Read
TagResource Allows user to tag an existing Export. Write

export

aws:ResourceTag/${TagKey}

aws:RequestTag/${TagKey}

aws:TagKeys
UntagResource Allows user to untag an existing Export. Write

export

aws:ResourceTag/${TagKey}

aws:TagKeys
ListTagsForResource Allows user to list tags associated with an existing Export. Read

export

aws:ResourceTag/${TagKey}

For more information about how to use these context keys, see Controlling access to AWS resources using tags in the IAM User Guide.

The following table describes the resource types that are available in Data Exports.

Resource type Description ARN
export An export is the resource created by the CreateExport API. An export generates a billing and cost management query output on a recurring basis. arn:${Partition}:bcm-data-exports:${Region}:${Account}:export/${exportName}-{UUID}
table A table is data in a row-column format that a user queries with an export. Tables are created and managed by AWS for customers. Tables cannot be deleted by customers. arn:${Partition}:bcm-data-exports:${Region}:${Account}:table/${TableName}

To create exports of the COST_AND_USAGE_REPORT or COST_AND_USAGE_DASHBOARD table resources in Data Exports, IAM users must also have permissions for the respective cur action in IAM. This means that if an IAM user is blocked from using cur actions for any reason, such as lacking an explicit allow on cur or a service control policy (SCP) providing an explicit deny on cur, that IAM user will be blocked from creating or updating exports of these two tables.

The following table shows which cur action is required for which bcm-data-exports actions in Data Exports for these two tables.

Data Exports action Table resources Additional required actions in IAM
