AWS managed policies for AWS Toolkit for .NET Refactoring

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 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 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 in the IAM User Guide.

AWS managed policy: AWSRefactoringToolkitFullAccess

Use this policy to test your application on AWS when you modernize your application with the AWS Toolkit for .NET Refactoring extension for Microsoft Visual Studio. Attach the policy to your local AWS profile. The policy grants permissions to upload application artifacts and download the resulting artifacts from S3. It grants permissions to build the application into a container image using AWS CodeBuild and store and retrieve the images in Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR). In addition, it allows for the deployment of the application to container services on AWS, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), the optional creation of Amazon VPC resources, and the optional connection to existing infrastructure, such as AWS Directory Service.

Permission details

This policy includes permissions for the following services:

This policy is used by the Amazon ECS tasks that are created to run a test application on AWS with the AWS Toolkit for .NET Refactoring extension for Microsoft Visual Studio. The policy grants permissions to download application artifacts from S3 and to communicate the status of the task using AWS Systems Manager.
