Multiple AWS Accounts

If you are using multiple AWS accounts, you must have IAM roles for Control and Data accounts

Control Account

Create an IAM role with the following IAM role policy in the control account. Replace <CONTROL_ACCOUNT_ID> with the correct AWS account ID for the control account in the Data Manager AWS multiple account input.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    Statement: [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "iam:GetRole",
                "iam:GetRolePolicy",
                "iam:ListRolePolicies",
                "iam:ListAttachedRolePolicies",
                "iam:GetPolicy",
                "iam:GetPolicyVersion",
                "cloudformation:DescribeStackSet",
                "cloudformation:DescribeStacks",
                "cloudformation:ListStackInstances",
                "cloudformation:ListStackSetOperations"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:cloudformation:*:<CONTROL_ACCOUNT_ID>:stack/SplunkDM*/*",
                "arn:aws:cloudformation:*:<CONTROL_ACCOUNT_ID>:stackset/SplunkDM*:*",
                "arn:aws:iam::<CONTROL_ACCOUNT_ID>:role/AWSCloudFormationStackSetAdministrationRole",
                "arn:aws:iam::<CONTROL_ACCOUNT_ID>:policy/*"
            ],
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": ["s3:ListBucket"],
            "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::sdm-dataingest-cft*"]
        }
    ]
}

Data Accounts

Create an IAM role with the following IAM role policy in all the data accounts. Replace <DATA_ACCOUNT_ID> with the correct AWS data account ID for the data account in the Data Manager AWS multiple account input. If this IAM role is created in many accounts, then you must use the CloudFormation StackSet to create the role in all the data accounts.
