SUMMARY

IAM permissions for EC2 inventory plugin

ENVIRONMENT

N/A

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

When using EC2 to lookup hosts available, there is no reference to what permissions the IAM role should have, giving the role extensive permissions is not ideal.

The error message also does not give us any detailed information.

Can we update the documentation to identify which actions the role needs to have (obviously depending on the flags set in ec2.ini).

For a basic setup, with ec2.ini left as default the following two actions are required:

ec2:DescribeInstances ec2:DescribeTags

研究方向
Examine the AWX EC2 inventory plugin code (likely in plugins/inventory/ec2.py) and the ec2.ini configuration file to list all AWS API actions used. Document the minimal IAM permissions needed for basic and advanced configurations. The issue already mentions ec2:DescribeInstances and ec2:DescribeTags as basic; verify and expand for all features.
