IAM role for administrator

[#1]

Hi,

First post.!

So, we are experimenting with AWS now after more than a year long stint with our own infrastructure.

and Security teams don't know what access we, the administrators, should be given.

The question is, how is it being managed across organizations?

Do we get complete administration AWS powers or specific IAM roles. If the answer is latter, can people share the fine grain details.

Askhat,

Cloudera Director makes no recommendations on your organization’s AWS identity and Access Management (IAM) setup. Instead, refer to Amazon's IAM Best Practices (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/best-practices.html)

In AWS, you use IAM files to create policies that control access to resources in a VPC. The permissions required by Cloudera Director for creating the necessary IAM policy file can be found in our latest documentation (https://www.cloudera.com/content/www/en-us/documentation/director/latest/topics/director_iam_methods...).

The IAM policy file created above can be tied to users, groups, roles or resources to grant access.
