AWS managed policies for AWS Resilience Hub

An AWS managed policy is a standalone policy that is created and administered by AWS. AWS managed policies are designed to provide permissions for many common use cases so that you can start assigning permissions to users, groups, and roles.

Keep in mind that AWS managed policies might not grant least-privilege permissions for your specific use cases because they're available for all AWS customers to use. We recommend that you reduce permissions further by defining customer managed policies that are specific to your use cases.

You cannot change the permissions defined in AWS managed policies. If AWS updates the permissions defined in an AWS managed policy, the update affects all principal identities (users, groups, and roles) that the policy is attached to. AWS is most likely to update an AWS managed policy when a new AWS service is launched or new API operations become available for existing services.

For more information, see AWS managed policies in the IAM User Guide.

AWSResilienceHubAsssessmentExecutionPolicy

You can attach the AWSResilienceHubAsssessmentExecutionPolicy to your IAM identities. While running an assessment, this policy grants access permissions to other AWS services for executing assessments.

Permission details

This policy provides adequate permissions to publish alarms, AWS FIS and SOP templates to your Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket. The Amazon S3 bucket name must start with aws-resilience-hub-artifacts-. If you wish to publish to another Amazon S3 bucket, you can do that while calling CreateRecommendationTemplate API. For more information, see CreateRecommendationTemplate.

This policy includes the following permissions:

The following IAM policy is required for an AWS account to add permissions for users, user-groups, and roles that provide required permissions for your team to access AWS services while running assessments.
