# AWS managed policies for Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB
To add permissions to users, groups, and roles, it is easier to use AWS managed policies than to write policies yourself. It takes time and expertise to [create IAM customer managed policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_create-console.html) that provide your team with only the permissions they need. To get started quickly, you can use our AWS managed policies. These policies cover common use cases and are available in your AWS account. For more information about AWS managed policies, see [AWS managed policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_managed-vs-inline.html#aws-managed-policies) in the *IAM User Guide*.
AWS services maintain and update AWS managed policies. You can't change the permissions in AWS managed policies. Services occasionally add additional permissions to an AWS managed policy to support new features. This type of update affects all identities (users, groups, and roles) where the policy is attached. Services are most likely to update an AWS managed policy when a new feature is launched or when new operations become available. Services do not remove permissions from an AWS managed policy, so policy updates won't break your existing permissions.
Additionally, AWS supports managed policies for job functions that span multiple services. For example, the **ReadOnlyAccess** AWS managed policy provides read-only access to all AWS services and resources. When a service launches a new feature, AWS adds read-only permissions for new operations and resources. For a list and descriptions of job function policies, see [AWS managed policies for job functions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_job-functions.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.
## AWS managed policy: AmazonTimestreamInfluxDBServiceRolePolicy
You cannot attach the AmazonTimestreamInfluxDBServiceRolePolicy AWS managed policy to identities in your account. This policy is part of the AWS TimestreamforInfluxDB service-linked role. This role allows the service to manage network interfaces and security groups in your account.
Timestream for InfluxDB uses the permissions in this policy to manage EC2 security groups and network interfaces. This is required to manage Timestream for InfluxDB DB instances.
To review this policy in JSON format, see [AmazonTimestreamInfluxDBServiceRolePolicy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AmazonTimestreamInfluxDBServiceRolePolicy.html).
## AWS-managed policies for Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB
AWS addresses many common use cases by providing standalone IAM policies that are created and administered by AWS. Managed policies grant necessary permissions for common use cases so you can avoid having to investigate what permissions are needed. For more information, see [AWS Managed Policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_managed-vs-inline.html#aws-managed-policies) in the *IAM User Guide*.
The following AWS managed policies, which you can attach to users in your account, are specific to Timestream for InfluxDB:
### AmazonTimestreamInfluxDBFullAccess
You can attach the `AmazonTimestreamInfluxDBFullAccess` policy to your IAM identities. This policy grants administrative permissions that allow full access to all Timestream for InfluxDB resources.
You can also create your own custom IAM policies to allow permissions for Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB API actions. You can attach these custom policies to the IAM users or groups that require those permissions.
