# Amazon EventBridge permissions reference
<a name="eb-permissions-reference"></a>





To specify an action in an EventBridge policy, use the `events:` prefix followed by the API operation name, as shown in the following example.

```
"Action": "events:PutRule"
```

To specify multiple actions in a single statement, separate them with commas as follows.

```
"Action": ["events:action1", "events:action2"]
```

To specify multiple actions, you can also use wildcards. For example, you can specify all actions that begin with the word `"Put"` as follows.

```
"Action": "events:Put*"
```

To specify all EventBridge API actions, use the `*` wildcard as follows.

```
"Action": "events:*"
```

The following table lists the EventBridge API operations and corresponding actions that you can specify in an IAM policy.
