Identity and access management in VPC Flow Logs

AWS uses security credentials to identify you and to grant you access to your AWS resources. You can use features of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to allow other users, services, and applications to use your AWS resources fully or in a limited way, without sharing your security credentials.

This section describes the AWS service-linked roles that are created specifically for VPC Flow Logs and the managed policies attached to the VPC Flow Logs service-linked roles. For more information about AWS IAM roles and policies, see Roles terms and concepts in the IAM User Guide.
