Grant permission - Kinesis Video Streams

Grant permission

You must grant stream permission to your IAM roles in order to ingest streams in Amazon Kinesis Video Streams with WebRTC.

Note

A service role is an IAM role that a service assumes to perform actions on your behalf. An IAM administrator can create, modify, and delete a service role from within IAM. For more information, see Create a role to delegate permissions to an AWS service in the IAM User Guide.

Both Master and Viewer roles must also have DescribeStream, GetDataEndpoint, and PutMedia permissions to ingest media to Kinesis Video Streams.

Refer to the sample IAM policy below for Master participants:
