AWS managed policies for Amazon Route 53

An AWS managed policy is a standalone policy that is created and administered by AWS. AWS managed policies are designed to provide permissions for many common use cases so that you can start assigning permissions to users, groups, and roles.

Keep in mind that AWS managed policies might not grant least-privilege permissions for your specific use cases because they're available for all AWS customers to use. We recommend that you reduce permissions further by defining customer managed policies that are specific to your use cases.

You cannot change the permissions defined in AWS managed policies. If AWS updates the permissions defined in an AWS managed policy, the update affects all principal identities (users, groups, and roles) that the policy is attached to. AWS is most likely to update an AWS managed policy when a new AWS service is launched or new API operations become available for existing services.

For more information, see AWS managed policies in the IAM User Guide.

AWS managed policy: AmazonRoute53FullAccess

You can attach the AmazonRoute53FullAccess policy to your IAM identities.

This policy grants full access to Route 53 resources, including domain registration and health checking, but excluding Resolver.

Permissions details

This policy includes the following permissions.

  • route53:* – Lets you perform all Route 53 actions except the following:

    • Create and update alias records for which the value of Alias Target is a CloudFront distribution, an Elastic Load Balancing load balancer, an Elastic Beanstalk environment, or an Amazon S3 bucket. (With these permissions, you can create alias records for which the value of Alias Target is another record in the same hosted zone.)

    • Work with private hosted zones.

    • Work with domains.

    • Create, delete, and view CloudWatch alarms.

    • Render CloudWatch metrics in the Route 53 console.

  • route53domains:*– Lets you work with domains.

  • cloudfront:ListDistributions – Lets you create and update alias records for which the value of Alias Target is a CloudFront distribution.

    This permission isn't required if you aren't using the Route 53 console. Route 53 uses it only to get a list of distributions to display in the console.

  • elasticloadbalancing:DescribeLoadBalancers – Lets you create and update alias records for which the value of Alias Target is an Elastic Load Balancing load balancer.

    These permissions aren't required if you aren't using the Route 53 console. Route 53 uses it only to get a list of load balancers to display in the console.

  • elasticbeanstalk:DescribeEnvironments – Lets you create and update alias records for which the value of Alias Target is an Elastic Beanstalk environment.

    These permissions aren't required if you aren't using the Route 53 console. Route 53 uses it only to get a list of environments to display in the console.

  • s3:ListBucket, s3:GetBucketLocation, and s3:GetBucketWebsite – Let you create and update alias records for which the value of Alias Target is an Amazon S3 bucket. (You can create an alias to an Amazon S3 bucket only if the bucket is configured as a website endpoint; s3:GetBucketWebsite gets the required configuration information.)

    These permissions aren't required if you aren't using the Route 53 console. Route 53 uses these only to get a list of buckets to display in the console.

  • ec2:DescribeVpcs – Lets you display a list of VPCs.

  • ec2:DescribeVpcEndpoints – Lets you display a list of VPC endpoints.

  • ec2:DescribeRegions – Lets you display a list of Availability Zones.

  • sns:ListTopics, sns:ListSubscriptionsByTopic, cloudwatch:DescribeAlarms – Let you create, delete, and view CloudWatch alarms.

  • cloudwatch:GetMetricStatistics – Lets you create CloudWatch metric health checks.

    These permissions aren't required if you aren't using the Route 53 console. Route 53 uses it only to get statistics to display in the console.

  • apigateway:GET – Lets you create and update alias records for which the value of Alias Target is an Amazon API Gateway API.

    This permission isn't required if you aren't using the Route 53 console. Route 53 uses it only to get a list of APIs to display in the console.
