## Prerequisites

- To Configure AWS IAM, refer [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/getting-started.html).
- Refer to this [common procedure](https://docs.databee.buzz/docs/prerequisites-aws-configuration) on how to create an IAM user, configure the AWS Access Key and AWS Secret Key, attach an IAM policy with required permissions.
- The user should have access to the DataBee console.

## Configuration Overview

1. Generate an AWS Access Key & Secret Key with the required IAM policies
2. Add the [AWS IAM](/user-manual/docs/aws-iam#databee-configuration) in the DataBee console with the below parameters.

| **DataBee Parameter** | **AWS IAM Parameter** |
| --- | --- |
| Access Key | [AWS Access Key](/docs/aws-iam#aws_config) |
| Secret Key | [AWS Secret Key](/docs/aws-iam#aws_config) |
| AWS Region | [AWS Region](/docs/aws-iam#aws_config) |
| Service Name | iam |

## AWS IAM Configuration

1. Start by configuring AWS IAM, refer [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/getting-started.html). If you have AWS IAM configured, then continue to next step.
2. Create a IAM user with the API credentials. This common step is documented at [AWS Configuration Prerequisites](https://docs.databee.buzz/docs/prerequisites-aws-configuration).
3. Ensure the AWS Access Key is attached to an IAM policy that allows the **iam:ListUsers** action.
4. The minimum permissions required would be **IAMReadOnlyAccess**. Refer [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/security-iam-awsmanpol.html#security-iam-awsmanpol-IAMReadOnlyAccess) for more information on the policy.

## Troubleshooting Tips

- Ensure the Access Key, Secret Key, Region are pasted correctly. Since you cannot view the Secret Key after the 1st time, re-create the AWS Access Key & AWS Secret Key, paste it on a text editor to ensure no spaces or unexpected characters are included and reconfigure the DataBee feed.
- Ensure the AWS IAM scopes/permissions are correct.
