Setting up AWS Device Farm
Before you use Device Farm for the first time, you must complete the following tasks:
Sign up for an AWS account
To get started with AWS, you need an AWS account. There are two ways to sign up for AWS. If you want complete control over account configuration and where your content is stored, or if you have regulated workloads such as HIPAA or FedRAMP, use Sign up for AWS (advanced). If you are a new user and want to use a login you already own to sign in to AWS and create an AWS environment with preconfigured defaults in select AWS Regions, use Sign up for AWS.
Step 3: Give the IAM user permission to access Device Farm
Give the IAM user permission to access Device Farm. To do this, create an access policy in IAM, and then assign the access policy to the IAM user, as follows.
Note
The AWS root account or IAM user that you use to complete the following steps must have permission to create the following IAM policy and attach it to the IAM user. For more information, see Working with Policies.
-
Create a policy with the following JSON body. Give it a descriptive title, such as
DeviceFarmAdmin.For more information on creating IAM policies, see Creating IAM Policies in the IAM User Guide.
-
Attach the IAM policy you created to your new user. For more information on attaching IAM policies to users, see Adding and Removing IAM Policies in the IAM User Guide.
Attaching the policy provides the IAM user with access to all Device Farm actions and resources associated with that IAM user. For information about how to restrict IAM users to a limited set of Device Farm actions and resources, see Identity and access management in AWS Device Farm.
