# Setting up AWS Glue DataBrew
<a name="setting-up"></a>

Before you get started with AWS Glue DataBrew, you need to set up some permissions, a user, and a role. Start by doing the following steps:

1. Signing up for an AWS account as needed, and creating AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies to enable users to run DataBrew:
   + Signing up for a new AWS account and adding a user. For more information, see [Setting up a new AWS account](setting-up-aws.md).
   + [Adding an IAM policy for a console user](setting-up-iam-policy-for-databrew-console-access.md). A user with these permissions can access DataBrew on the AWS Management Console. 
   + [Adding permissions for data resources for an IAM role](setting-up-iam-policy-for-data-resources-role.md). An IAM role with these permissions can access data on behalf of the user. 

   You need to be an IAM administrator to create users, roles, and policies.

1. [Adding users or groups for DataBrew](setting-up-iam-users-and-groups-for-databrew.md). A user or group with the correct permissions attached can access DataBrew on the console. 

1. [Adding a role with permissions to access data for DataBrew](setting-up-iam-role-to-use-in-databrew.md). A role with the correct permissions can access data on the user's behalf.
