## Anonymous access
<a name="security_iam_resource-based-policy-examples-anonymous-access"></a>

Consider the following `Allow` policy. With this policy in effect, MediaTailor allows anonymous access to the `mediatailor:GetManifest` action on the channel resource in the policy. This occurs where *region* is the AWS Region, *accountID* is your AWS account ID, and *channelName* is the name of the channel resource.

## Cross-account access
<a name="security_iam_resource-based-policy-examples-cross-account-access"></a>

Consider the following `Allow` policy. With this policy in effect, MediaTailor allows the `mediatailor:GetManifest` action on the channel resource in the policy, across accounts. This occurs where *region* is the AWS Region, *accountID* is your AWS account ID, and *channelName* is the name of the channel resource.
