EC2 Restore IAM Permissions
To perform EC2 restore operations, IAM roles and IAM users specified in the entire EC2 instance restore settings and volume-level restore settings, or IAM roles specified in the organization settings, must meet the following requirements:
- The backup appliance must be granted permissions to assume the IAM roles. For more information on the requirements for adding IAM roles, see Before You Begin.
- The IAM roles must be granted the following permissions:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "ec2:AssignPrivateIpAddresses", "ec2:AssociateAddress", "ec2:AssociateIamInstanceProfile", "ec2:AllocateAddress", "ec2:AttachNetworkInterface", "ec2:AttachVolume", "ec2:CopySnapshot", "ec2:CreateNetworkInterface", "ec2:CreateTags", "ec2:CreateVolume", "ec2:DeleteNetworkInterface", "ec2:DeleteSnapshot", "ec2:DeleteTags", "ec2:DeleteVolume", "ec2:DescribeAddresses", "ec2:DescribeAvailabilityZones", "ec2:DescribeConversionTasks", "ec2:DescribeImages", "ec2:DescribeInstanceAttribute", "ec2:DescribeInstances", "ec2:DescribeInstanceStatus", "ec2:DescribeInstanceTypes", "ec2:DescribeKeyPairs", "ec2:DescribeNetworkInterfaces", "ec2:DescribeRegions", "ec2:DescribeSecurityGroups", "ec2:DescribeSnapshotAttribute", "ec2:DescribeSnapshots", "ec2:DescribeSubnets", "ec2:DescribeVolumeAttribute", "ec2:DescribeVolumes", "ec2:DescribeVpcs", "ec2:DetachVolume", "ec2:DisassociateAddress", "ec2:GetEbsDefaultKmsKeyId", "ec2:ModifyInstanceAttribute", "ec2:ModifyNetworkInterfaceAttribute", "ec2:ModifyVolume", "ec2:RunInstances", "ec2:StartInstances", "ec2:StopInstances", "ec2:TerminateInstances", "iam:GetContextKeysForPrincipalPolicy", "iam:GetInstanceProfile", "iam:ListAccountAliases", "iam:listInstanceProfiles", "iam:PassRole", "iam:SimulatePrincipalPolicy", "kms:CreateGrant", "kms:DescribeKey", "kms:GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintext", "kms:GetKeyPolicy", "kms:ListAliases", "kms:ListKeys", "kms:ReEncryptFrom", "kms:ReEncryptTo" ], "Resource": "*" } ] } |

Permissions Required to Deploy Worker Instances in Production Account
If you plan to instruct Veeam Backup for AWS to deploy worker instances in production accounts to perform entire EC2 instance or volume-level restore, the IAM roles specified in the entire EC2 instance and volume-level restore settings must be granted the following additional permissions:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "ec2:CreateKeyPair", "ec2:DeleteKeyPair", "ec2:DescribeAccountAttributes", "iam:GetRole", "iam:ListInstanceProfilesForRole", "servicequotas:ListServiceQuotas", "sqs:CreateQueue", "sqs:DeleteMessage", "sqs:DeleteQueue", "sqs:ListQueues", "sqs:ReceiveMessage", "sqs:SendMessage", "sqs:SetQueueAttributes", "ssm:GetCommandInvocation", "ssm:GetParameter", "ssm:SendCommand" ], "Resource": "*" } ] } |
