New Permissions Required (22.4.7)
New Permissions Required: AWS
For AWS Standard (Read-Only) Users: “redshift-serverless:ListNamespaces”, “redshift-serverless:ListWorkgroups”
For AWS Power-Users: “redshift-serverless:*****”
These new permissions support the added visibility into Redshift Serverless Namespaces and Redshift Serverless Workgroups. [ENG-18185]
Note: We recommend our AWS commercial (non-GovCloud) Standard (Read-Only) Users employ AWS’ managed read-only policy, supplemented by a small additional InsightCloudSec policy. The benefit of using the AWS managed policy lies in AWS’ continuously updating the policy for new services, making it easier for the customer to attach and maintain the policy. Details on this recommendation can be found at AWS IAM Policies Standard User (Read-Only) AWS-managed supplemental policy.
New Permission Required: Azure
For Azure Standard (Read-Only) Policy: “Microsoft.Network/privateLinkServices/read”
Note: This new permission supports added visibility and lifecycle support for Azure Private Link Services. [ENG-18615]
