Custom IAM policies allow you to specify permissions for individual IAM users, groups, or roles, granting or restricting access to specific AWS resources and actions. When managing Amazon SNS resources, custom IAM policies allow you to tailor access permissions according to your organization's security and operational requirements.
Use the following steps to manage custom IAM policies for Amazon SNS:
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/
. -
From the navigation pane, choose Policies.
-
To create a new custom IAM policy, choose Create policy and choose SNS. To edit an existing policy, select the policy from the list and choose Edit policy.
-
In the policy editor, define the permissions for accessing Amazon SNS resources. You can specify actions, resources, and conditions based on your specific requirements.
-
To grant permissions for Amazon SNS actions, include relevant Amazon SNS actions such as
sns:Publish,sns:Subscribe, andsns:DeleteTopicin your IAM policy. Define the ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of the Amazon SNS topics to which the permissions apply. -
Specify the IAM users, groups, or roles to which the policy should be attached. You can attach the policy directly to IAM users or groups, or associate it with IAM roles used by AWS services or applications.
-
Review the IAM policy configuration to ensure it aligns with your access control requirements. Once verified, save the policy changes.
-
Attach the custom IAM policy to the relevant IAM users, groups, or roles within your AWS account. This grants them the permissions defined in the policy for managing Amazon SNS resources.
