In the AWS Integration Permissions Settings, iam:GetUser is no longer required

When configuring filters using tags in AWS Integration, there is a need to grant additional permissions other than the policies granted for configuring the settings for AWS Integration.

In that process, when configuring settings that require Access Key ID and Secret Access Key, permission for the following action was required. With this update, you no longer need to grant the following permission.

  • iam:GetUser for linked Users

Please find the details of the changes here.

You now have greater control over restrictions on the permissions granted for AWS Integration, so if you have granted the permissions mentioned above, we recommend that you delete them.

Changes requiring check for external IDs when configuring AWS integration

When configuring AWS integration in the web console, the IAM role is now checked to see if it is configured to restrict external IDs.

If the IAM role does not have restrictions for external IDs, the result of the permission check will be displayed as invalid. In such cases, please configure the restrictions on external IDs.

Please refer to the following Help document for the configuration method.

If the IAM role does not have restrictions on external IDs, or if a different ID than the external ID retrieved from Mackerel is configured, you will not be able to register or update AWS integrations via the browser console or API.

As mentioned in our previous article in the link below, we plan to conduct staged releases for Mackerel that will strengthen permission checks for AWS Integration. Please refer to the following article for details.
