Step 3. Specify IAM Role Settings

At the Type step of the wizard, select one of the following options:

  • IAM role from current account — select this option if you want to add an existing IAM role from the AWS account to which the backup appliance belongs.
  • IAM role from another account — select this option if you want to add an existing IAM role from an AWS account other than the account to which the backup appliance belongs.
  • Create new IAM role — select this option if you want Veeam Backup for AWS to create a new IAM role in AWS automatically.
  • Create template — select this option if you want Veeam Backup for AWS to create a CloudFormation template or a JSON policy document that you can then use to create an IAM role in AWS manually.
