# Default KMS key policy created in CloudTrail console
<a name="default-kms-key-policy"></a>

If you create an AWS KMS key in the CloudTrail console, the following policies are automatically created for you. The policy allows these permissions:
+ Allows AWS account (root) permissions for the KMS key.
+ Allows CloudTrail to encrypt log files and digest files under the KMS key and describe the KMS key.
+ Allows all users in the specified accounts to decrypt log files and digest files.
+ Allows all users in the specified account to create a KMS alias for the KMS key.
+ Enables cross-account log decryption for the account ID of the account that created the trail.
