USM Anywhere requires an access key to make programmatic calls to AWS API operations. These access keys consist of an access key ID and a secret access key. To create an AWS Access Key ID for SNS Integration
  1. Log in to your AWS Account and go to the Amazon SNS console.
  2. Open the topic to be used for SNS Notifications, and then copy the ARN (Acquirer Reference Number) of the topic.
  3. Navigate to the IAM role service in your AWS Account.
  4. Click Users.
  5. Click Create User.
  6. Choose a Username for the new user.
  7. Click Next. You are directed to the Set Permissions page.
  8. Select the Attach policies directly option.
  9. Click Create policy.
  10. In Specify Permissions > Policy Editor, select the JSON option.
  11. Copy and paste the following code into the editor: 
    {
    "Version":"2012-10-17",
    "Statement":[
        {
            "Effect":"Allow",
            "Action":"sns:Publish",
            "Resource":"<TOPIC_ARN>"
        }
    ]
}
  12. Replace <TOPIC_ARN> with the topic ARN value that you have copied in Step #2.
  13. Click Next.
  14. Enter a Name for your policy.
  15. Click Create Policy.
  16. Attach the AmazonSNSReadOnlyAccess policy or manually add permissions to list topics ("Resource": "*").
  17. Click Next, and then click Create User.
Note: Copy the access key ID and secret access key, which you will need to configure Amazon SNS in USM Anywhere.
