AWSElasticBeanstalkServiceRolePolicy

Summary

AWS Elastic Beanstalk Service Linked Role policy which grants permissions to create & manage resources (i.e.: AutoScaling, EC2, S3, CloudFormation, ELB, etc.) on your behalf.

Permissions imported from the AWS Managed Policy Reference Guide; other sections pending editorial review.

Services

acm, aps, autoscaling, cloudformation, cloudwatch, codebuild, ec2, ecr, eks, elasticbeanstalk, elasticloadbalancing, iam, lambda, logs, s3, sns, sqs, tag

Control-plane actions (114)

By access level: 22 List, 40 Read, 11 Tagging, 41 Write.

Data-plane actions (6)

By access level: 1 List, 1 Permissions management, 2 Read, 2 Write.

Excluded and conditional actions

No patterns are excluded by NotAction or Deny statements.

Resource scope and attachment

Resource scope across granted actions: mixed.

Can be attached: No (service-linked role policy).

Why this tier

• Grants 55 write, tagging or permissions-management actions, short of full control of any service.
• Grants data-plane write actions on a data store, but only for scoped resources or under conditions.
• Grants iam:PassRole, but only for scoped roles or under conditions (for example iam:PassedToService).
