Policies containing the API operations for creating and using connections - AWS Glue

The following sample policy describes the required AWS IAM permissions for creating and using connections. If you are creating a new role, create a policy that contains the following:

{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "glue:ListConnectionTypes", "glue:DescribeConnectionType", "glue:RefreshOAuth2Tokens" "glue:ListEntities", "glue:DescribeEntity" ], "Resource": "*" } ] }

If you don't want to use the above method, alternatively use the following managed IAM policies:

  • AWSGlueServiceRole – Grants access to resources that various AWS Glue processes require to run on your behalf. These resources include AWS Glue, Amazon S3, IAM, CloudWatch Logs, and Amazon EC2. If you follow the naming convention for resources specified in this policy, AWS Glue processes have the required permissions. This policy is typically attached to roles specified when defining crawlers, jobs, and development endpoints.

  • AWSGlueConsoleFullAccess – Grants full access to AWS Glue resources when an identity that the policy is attached to uses the AWS Management Console. If you follow the naming convention for resources specified in this policy, users have full console capabilities. This policy is typically attached to users of the AWS Glue console.
