When to Use Access Control

You have a great deal of flexibility in how you grant or deny access to a resource. However, the typical use cases are fairly simple:

  • You want to grant another AWS account a particular type of access to your queue (e.g., SendMessage). For more information, see Use Case 1.

  • You want to grant another AWS account access to your queue for a specific period of time. For more information, see Use Case 2.

  • You want to grant another AWS account access to your queue only if the requests come from your EC2 instances. For more information, see Use Case 3.

  • You want to deny another AWS account access to your queue. For more information, see Use Case 4.
