Hotsock Installer Permissions

This repository contains the permissions CloudFormation template used during Hotsock installation.

It is provided here for easy auditability and change history.

Included Resources

When creating a stack with the installer-permissions.yml template, the following resources will be created in your AWS account.

• HotsockInstallerRole: IAM role that allows CloudFormation to manage Hotsock installations with appropriate permissions. It grants IAM role and policy management permissions within the /hotsock/ IAM path and grants permissions in the HotsockMaximumPermissions managed policy described below.
• HotsockSupportRole: IAM role that can allow Hotsock support staff to access your account to triage issues upon your request. Access is denied by default with an expired date condition in the assume role trust relationship, which must be set to a date in the future to grant access.
• HotsockLicensingRole: IAM role that allows Hotsock to perform licensing operations and collect usage data for installation metering.
• HotsockMaximumPermissions: IAM managed policy that specifies the maximum permissions needed for Hotsock, used to grant permissions to HotsockInstallerRole and HotsockSupportRole and used as the mandatory Permissions Boundary for all roles created by HotsockInstallerRole.
