Create and apply a policy with permissions to create connections

To use the JSON policy editor to create a policy

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Policies.

    If this is your first time choosing Policies, the Welcome to Managed Policies page appears. Choose Get Started.

  3. At the top of the page, choose Create policy.

  4. In the Policy editor section, choose the JSON option.

  5. Enter the following JSON policy document:

     {
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "codeconnections:CreateConnection",
                "codeconnections:DeleteConnection",
                "codeconnections:GetConnection",
                "codeconnections:ListConnections",
                "codeconnections:GetInstallationUrl",
                "codeconnections:GetIndividualAccessToken",
                "codeconnections:ListInstallationTargets",
                "codeconnections:StartOAuthHandshake",
                "codeconnections:UpdateConnectionInstallation",
                "codeconnections:UseConnection"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

  6. Choose Next.

    Note

    You can switch between the Visual and JSON editor options anytime. However, if you make changes or choose Next in the Visual editor, IAM might restructure your policy to optimize it for the visual editor. For more information, see Policy restructuring in the IAM User Guide.

  7. On the Review and create page, enter a Policy name and a Description (optional) for the policy that you are creating. Review Permissions defined in this policy to see the permissions that are granted by your policy.

  8. Choose Create policy to save your new policy.
