# Requirements for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud—VPC inputs
<a name="requirements-for-vpc-input"></a>

Your deployment might include push inputs that connect to MediaLive from a VPC that you created with Amazon VPC. 

When a user creates this type of input on the MediaLive console, they have the option to choose the subnet and security group from a dropdown list. For the dropdown list to be populated with the resources in Amazon VPC, the user must have the appropriate permissions. For more information about Amazon VPC inputs, see [Creating an input](create-input.md).

The following table shows the actions in IAM that relate to access for populating the dropdown.


| Permissions | Service name in IAM | Actions | 
| --- | --- | --- | 
| View the VPC subnets and VPC security groups on the MediaLive console | EC2 | DescribeSubnets`DescribeSecurityGroups` |
