AWS Private CA API operations and permissions

When you set up access control and permissions policies that you plan to attach to an IAM identity (identity-based policies), use the following table as a reference. The first column in the table lists each AWS Private CA API operation. You specify actions in a policy's Action element. The remaining columns provide the additional information.

To provide access, add permissions to your users, groups, or roles:

Users and groups in AWS IAM Identity Center:

Create a permission set. Follow the instructions in Create a permission set in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
Users managed in IAM through an identity provider:

Create a role for identity federation. Follow the instructions in Create a role for a third-party identity provider (federation) in the IAM User Guide.
IAM users:
- Create a role that your user can assume. Follow the instructions in Create a role for an IAM user in the IAM User Guide.
- (Not recommended) Attach a policy directly to a user or add a user to a user group. Follow the instructions in Adding permissions to a user (console) in the IAM User Guide.
