Prerequisites for connecting Amazon Q Business to Amazon WorkDocs

Before you begin, make sure that you have completed the following prerequisites.

In Amazon WorkDocs, make sure you have:

  • Noted the Amazon WorkDocs directory ID (organization ID) for your Amazon WorkDocs repository.

In your AWS account, make sure you have:

  • Created a Amazon Q Business application.

  • Created a Amazon Q Business retriever and added an index.

  • Created an IAM role for your data source and, if using the Amazon Q API, noted the ARN of the IAM role.

  • Stored your Amazon WorkDocs authentication credentials in an AWS Secrets Manager secret and, if using the Amazon Q API, noted the ARN of the secret.

    Note

    If you’re a console user, you can create the IAM role and Secrets Manager secret as part of configuring your Amazon Q application on the console.
