<a name="setting-up"></a>

To set up the Amazon DataZone, you must have an AWS account and set up the required IAM policies and permissions for Amazon DataZone.

Once you've set up your Amazon DataZone permissions, it is recommended that you complete the steps in the [Getting started](getting-started.md) section that takes you through creating the Amazon DataZone domain, obtaining the data portal URL, and the basic Amazon DataZone workflows for data producers and data consumers.
