Create an AWS Amazon Resource Name Credential

AWS IAM permissions are associated with Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). ARNs associated with an IAM role can be used to authenticate certain operations on Platform such as an UNLOAD or COPY between S3 and your Civis Redshift database. For more information reference the AWS documentation on ARNs:

• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_identifiers.html 
• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/copy-usage_notes-access-permissions.html#copy-usage_notes-access-role-based 

ARNs associated with a role are formatted this way 

arn:aws:iam::account:role/role-name-with-path

This is an example of an ARN

arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/S3Access

To create a ARN Credential

1. Navigate to the Credentials Index
2. Click “Create Credential”
   
3. Give your Credential a recognizable name
4. Select “Custom” as the type
5. Enter the Role portion of your ARN in the username field
   1. S3Acess in the example above
6. Enter the Account ID in the password field
   1. 123456789012 in the example above
7. Click “Save”
