Setting up permissions to start using AWS HealthLake

To sign up for an AWS account

1. Open https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup.

2. Follow the online instructions.

   Part of the sign-up procedure involves receiving a phone call and entering a verification code on the phone keypad.

   When you sign up for an AWS account, an AWS account root user is created. The root user has access to all AWS services and resources in the account. As a security best practice, assign administrative access to a user, and use only the root user to perform tasks that require root user access.

Secure your AWS account root user

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console as the account owner by choosing Root user and entering your AWS account email address. On the next page, enter your password.

   For help signing in by using root user, see Signing in as the root user in the AWS Sign-In User Guide.

2. Turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your root user.

   For instructions, see Enable a virtual MFA device for your AWS account root user (console) in the IAM User Guide.

Create a user with administrative access

1. Enable IAM Identity Center.

   For instructions, see Enabling AWS IAM Identity Center in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.

2. In IAM Identity Center, grant administrative access to a user.

   For a tutorial about using the IAM Identity Center directory as your identity source, see Configure user access with the default IAM Identity Center directory in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.

Sign in as the user with administrative access

• To sign in with your IAM Identity Center user, use the sign-in URL that was sent to your email address when you created the IAM Identity Center user.

  For help signing in using an IAM Identity Center user, see Signing in to the AWS access portal in the AWS Sign-In User Guide.

Assign access to additional users

1. In IAM Identity Center, create a permission set that follows the best practice of applying least-privilege permissions.

   For instructions, see Create a permission set in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.

2. Assign users to a group, and then assign single sign-on access to the group.

   For instructions, see Add groups in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.

To create an administrator

1. Add the AmazonHealthlakeFullAccess IAM AWS managed policy to a user or role in your organization.

   If you're unfamiliar with creating an IAM user, see Creating an IAM User and Overview of AWS IAM Policies in the IAM User Guide.

2. Grant the IAM user or role access to AWS Lake Formation.

   • Add the following IAM AWS managed policy to a user or role in your organization: AWSLakeFormationDataAdmin

     Note

     The AWSLakeFormationDataAdmin policy grants access to all AWS Lake Formation resources. We recommend that you always use the minimum permissions required to accomplish your task. For more information, see IAM Best Practices in the IAM User Guide.

3. Add the following inline policy to the user or role. To learn more about adding inline policies, see Adding and removing IAM identity permissions.
