Frequently asked questions

When should I attach AmazonODBAutonomousDatabaseAdmin?

The Oracle Database@AWS User Guide says you can attach it to your IAM identities to manage Autonomous Database Serverless resources and their backups. Add the extra permissions it lists as missing if you use customer managed KMS keys or Secrets Manager secrets.

What does AmazonODBAutonomousDatabaseAdmin grant?

On all resources it allows odb actions to create, update, delete, start, stop, reboot, shrink, switch over, fail over and restore Autonomous Databases, manage wallets and backups, and list networks and versions. It also allows ec2:DescribeAvailabilityZones, creating the odb.amazonaws.com service-linked role, and tagging and outbound integration actions on Autonomous Database resources.

What are the security risks of AmazonODBAutonomousDatabaseAdmin?

The policy can delete, stop, fail over and restore Autonomous Databases and create and retrieve wallet details on all resources. AWS managed policies don't grant least privilege permissions, and an AWS update to the policy affects every identity it is attached to.
