About the required AWS IAM user for AnyNet IRIS
The AnyNet Cellular Connectivity for AWS IoT service integrates with the IoT resources within your
AWS account to perform essential functions, such as updating an AWSthing Shadow document. You
enable access to these functions by setting up a dedicated IAM user with specific permissions within
your AWS account. You will use this IAM user to configure AnyNet IRIS.
The IAM permissions also enable the service to create a Foundation CloudFormation stack that is used
to distribute required resources to the AWS regions you select using AnyNet IRIS. The Foundation stack
creates an IAM role –
AnyNetSecureTrustRole
– that is responsible for establishing required cross-
account access. For information about cross-account access, see:
