AWS managed policies for AWS IoT SiteWise

Simplify adding permissions to users, groups, and roles using AWS managed policies rather than to writing policies yourself. It takes time and expertise to create IAM customer managed policies that provide your team precise permissions. For a faster setup, consider using our AWS managed policies for common use cases. Find AWS managed policies in your AWS account. For more information about AWS managed policies, see AWS managed policies in the IAM User Guide.

AWS services take care of updating and maintaining AWS managed policies, meaning you cannot modify these policies' permissions. Occasionally, AWS IoT SiteWise may add permissions to accommodate new features, impacting all identities with the policy attached. Such updates are common with the introduction of new services or features. However, permissions are never removed, ensuring your setups remain intact.

Additionally, AWS supports managed policies for job functions that span multiple services. For example, the ReadOnlyAccess AWS managed policy provides read-only access to all AWS services and resources. When a service launches a new feature, AWS adds read-only permissions for new operations and resources. For a list with descriptions of job function policies, see AWS managed policies for job functions in the IAM User Guide.

AWS managed policy: AWSIoTSiteWiseReadOnlyAccess

Use the AWSIoTSiteWiseReadOnlyAccess AWS managed policy to allow read-only access to AWS IoT SiteWise.

You can attach the AWSIoTSiteWiseReadOnlyAccess policy to your IAM identities.

Service-level permissions

This policy provides read-only access to AWS IoT SiteWise, including permissions to execute read-only SQL queries. No other service permissions are included in this policy.

AWS managed policy: AWSServiceRoleForIoTSiteWise

The AWSServiceRoleForIoTSiteWise role uses the AWSServiceRoleForIoTSiteWise policy with the following permissions. This policy:

  • Allows AWS IoT SiteWise to deploy SiteWise Edge gateways (which run on AWS IoT Greengrass).

  • Allows AWS IoT SiteWise to perform logging.

  • Allows AWS IoT SiteWise to run a metadata search query, against the AWS IoT TwinMaker database.

If you are using AWS IoT SiteWise with a singe user account,the AWSServiceRoleForIoTSiteWise role creates the AWSServiceRoleForIoTSiteWise policy in your IAM account, and attaches it to the AWSServiceRoleForIoTSiteWise Service-linked roles for AWS IoT SiteWise.
