# IAM policy to grant access to search a vector index
<a name="iam-policy-example-search-vectors"></a>

The following policy grants permissions to perform `SearchVectors` operations on a specific vector index. The resource ARN for a vector index uses the same format as other DynamoDB indexes.

```
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "dynamodb:SearchVectors",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:dynamodb:us-west-2:123456789012:table/Products/index/ProductEmbeddingIndex"
        }
    ]
}
```

To grant `SearchVectors` access to all indexes on a table, use a wildcard character (\*) for the index name.

```
"Resource": "arn:aws:dynamodb:us-west-2:123456789012:table/Products/index/*"
```

**No additional permissions required**  
No additional IAM permissions are required to create or delete vector indexes. The existing `dynamodb:CreateTable` and `dynamodb:UpdateTable` permissions are sufficient.

**FGAC condition keys not supported for SearchVectors**  
Fine-grained access control (FGAC) condition keys are not supported for the `SearchVectors` API. You cannot use `dynamodb:LeadingKeys`, `dynamodb:Attributes`, or `dynamodb:Select` condition keys to restrict `SearchVectors` access.
