Amazon OpenSearch Service API permissions reference

Focus mode
Amazon OpenSearch Service API permissions reference - Amazon OpenSearch Service

When you set up access control, you write permission policies that you can attach to an IAM identity (identity-based policies). For detailed reference information, see the following topics in the Service Authorization Reference:

This reference contains information about which API operations can be used in an IAM policy. It also includes the AWS resource for which you can grant the permissions, and condition keys that you can include for fine-grained access control.

You specify the actions in the policy's Action field, the resource value in the policy's Resource field, and conditions in the policy's Condition field. To specify an action for OpenSearch Service, use the es: prefix followed by the API operation name (for example, es:CreateDomain). To specify an action for OpenSearch Ingestion, use the osis: prefix followed by the API operation (for example, osis:CreatePipeline).
