IAM role

 

 

Checkbox

Select this checkbox to authenticate as the IAM role assigned to the EC2 instance to access the AWS resources (with appropriate permissions). The IAM role is valid only in Groundplex nodes hosted in the EC2 environment. Learn more about Configuring an EC2 role for IAM Role in AWS S3 Account.

When you select this checkbox:

  • The Snap requests temporary credentials from the EC2 instance's metadata that allow it to act with the permissions of the instance's assigned role.

  • The Access key ID, Secret key, and Security token fields are hidden.

Account validation fails if this setting is used on a Snaplex that is not running on an EC2 instance.

Default state: Deselected
