Frequently asked questions

When should I attach AmazonKinesisAnalyticsFullAccess?

The reference page says you can attach AmazonKinesisAnalyticsFullAccess to your users, groups and roles, and describes it as full access to Amazon Kinesis Analytics via the console. Attach it for people who build Kinesis Analytics applications there.

What does AmazonKinesisAnalyticsFullAccess grant?

It allows kinesisanalytics:* on all resources, six kinesis stream actions, Firehose describe and list actions, CloudWatch metric reads, logs:GetLogEvents, IAM role listing and iam:PassRole on service-role/kinesis-analytics* roles.

What are the security risks of AmazonKinesisAnalyticsFullAccess?

kinesisanalytics:* and the kinesis create, delete and put actions apply to all resources, and iam:PassRole has no service condition. AWS managed policies don't grant least privilege permissions, and you must consider the security risk of granting principals more permissions than they need. AWS updates to the policy affect every identity it is attached to.
