Hi,
maybe anyone else tried to use an other user than root, following this FAQ-entry:
>> Is is possible to use an IAM role instead of the root AWS account?
>> Yes, this is possible. Please ensure that the IAM role has the following permissions configured: AmazonEC2FullAccess, AmazonVPCFullAccess,
>> ReadOnlyAccess and AWSAccountUsageReportAccess. You can then use the access and secret key of the IAM role in CAL.
It didn't work for me.
- First i tried to attach the permissions directly to an additionaly created user SAP_CAL.
The system complained about too many permissions attached to the user when i tried to attach the last one. - I created the Role and attached successfully all the permissions.
But i wasn't able to attach the role to the user.
(.. and i have no idea if there is a way to do so. I thought that the role might be attached to a group and authorize the users within the group) - At the end i created a group with all the mentioned permissions and included the user SAP_CAL to this group.
- Finaly i entered the keys from the user SAP_CAL in the CAL and now it works fine.
Is any AWS-expert here to comment this?
(Maybe i was only going the wrong way?)
Best regards
Christian
