# AWS Identity and Access Management roles in AWS ParallelCluster
<a name="iam"></a>

AWS ParallelCluster uses AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles for Amazon EC2 to enable instances to access AWS services for the deployment and operation of a cluster. By default, the IAM role for Amazon EC2 is created when the cluster is created. This means that the user that creates the cluster must have the appropriate level of permissions, as described in the following sections.

AWS ParallelCluster uses multiple AWS services to deploy and operate a cluster. See the complete list in the [AWS Services used in AWS ParallelCluster](aws-services.md) section.

You can track changes to the example policies in [AWS ParallelCluster documentation on GitHub](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-parallelcluster-user-guide/blame/main/doc_source/iam.md).

## Default settings for cluster creation
<a name="defaults"></a>

When you use the default settings for cluster creation, a default IAM role for Amazon EC2 is created by the cluster. The user that creates the cluster must have the right level of permissions to create all of the resources required to launch the cluster. This includes creating an IAM role for Amazon EC2. Typically, the user must have the permissions of an *AdministratorAccess* managed policy when using the default settings. For information about managed policies, see [AWS managed policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_managed-vs-inline.html#aws-managed-policies) in the *IAM User Guide*.

## Using an existing IAM role for Amazon EC2
<a name="using-an-existing-ec2-iam-role"></a>

In place of the default settings, you can use an existing [`ec2_iam_role`](cluster-definition.md#ec2-iam-role) when creating a cluster, but you must define the IAM policy and role before attempting to launch the cluster. Typically, you choose an existing IAM role for Amazon EC2 to minimize the permissions that are granted to users as they launch clusters. The [AWS ParallelCluster example instance and user policies](#example-parallelcluser-policies) include the minimum permissions required by AWS ParallelCluster and its features. You must create both policies and roles as individual policies in IAM and then attach the roles and policies to the appropriate resources. Some of the role policies might get large and cause quota errors. For more information, see [Troubleshooting IAM policy size issues](troubleshooting.md#troubleshooting-policy-size-issues). In the policies, replace *<REGION>*, *<AWS ACCOUNT ID>*, and similar strings with the appropriate values.

If your intent is to add extra policies to the default settings for cluster nodes, we recommend that you pass the additional custom IAM policies with the [`additional_iam_policies`](cluster-definition.md#additional-iam-policies) setting instead of using the [`ec2_iam_role`](cluster-definition.md#ec2-iam-role) settings.

## AWS ParallelCluster example instance and user policies
<a name="example-parallelcluser-policies"></a>

The following example policies include Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) for the resources. If you're working in the AWS GovCloud (US) or AWS China partitions, the ARNs must be changed. Specifically, they must be changed from "arn:aws" to "arn:aws-us-gov" for the AWS GovCloud (US) partition or "arn:aws-cn" for the AWS China partition. For more information, see [Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/govcloud-us/latest/UserGuide/using-govcloud-arns.html) in the *AWS GovCloud (US) User Guide* and [ARNs for AWS services in China](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/aws/latest/userguide/ARNs.html) in *Getting Started with AWS services in China*.

These policies include the minimum permissions currently required by AWS ParallelCluster, its features, and resources. Some of the role policies might get large and cause quota errors. For more information, see [Troubleshooting IAM policy size issues](troubleshooting.md#troubleshooting-policy-size-issues).

### `ParallelClusterInstancePolicy` using SGE, Slurm, or Torque
<a name="parallelclusterinstancepolicy"></a>

**Note**  
Starting with version 2.11.5, AWS ParallelCluster doesn't support the use of SGE or Torque schedulers. You can continue using them in versions up to and including 2.11.4, but they aren't eligible for future updates or troubleshooting support from the AWS service and AWS Support teams.

#### `ParallelClusterInstancePolicy` using SGE or Torque
<a name="parallelclusterinstancepolicy-sge-torque"></a>

The following example sets the `ParallelClusterInstancePolicy` using SGE or Torque as the scheduler.

**Note**  
This policy only applies to AWS ParallelCluster versions up to and including version 2.11.4. Starting with version 2.11.5, AWS ParallelCluster doesn't support the use of SGE or Torque schedulers.

### `ParallelClusterInstancePolicy` using `awsbatch`
<a name="parallelclusterinstancepolicy-batch"></a>

The following example sets the `ParallelClusterInstancePolicy` using `awsbatch` as the scheduler. You must include the same policies that are assigned to the `BatchUserRole` that is defined in the AWS Batch CloudFormation nested stack. The `BatchUserRole` ARN is provided as a stack output. In this example, “*<RESOURCES S3 BUCKET>*” is the value of the [`cluster_resource_bucket`](cluster-definition.md#cluster-resource-bucket-section) setting; if [`cluster_resource_bucket`](cluster-definition.md#cluster-resource-bucket-section) is not specified then “*<RESOURCES S3 BUCKET>*” is “parallelcluster-\$1”. The following example is an overview of the required permissions:

### `ParallelClusterUserPolicy` using Slurm
<a name="parallelclusteruserpolicy"></a>

The following example sets the `ParallelClusterUserPolicy`, using Slurm as the scheduler. In this example, “*<RESOURCES S3 BUCKET>*” is the value of the [`cluster_resource_bucket`](cluster-definition.md#cluster-resource-bucket-section) setting; if [`cluster_resource_bucket`](cluster-definition.md#cluster-resource-bucket-section) is not specified then “*<RESOURCES S3 BUCKET>*” is “parallelcluster-\$1”.

**Note**  
If you use a custom role, [`ec2_iam_role`](cluster-definition.md#ec2-iam-role)` = <role_name>`, you must change the IAM resource to include the name of that role from:  
`"Resource": "arn:aws:iam::<AWS ACCOUNT ID>:role/parallelcluster-*"`  
To:  
`"Resource": "arn:aws:iam::<AWS ACCOUNT ID>:role/<role_name>"`

### `ParallelClusterUserPolicy` using SGE or Torque
<a name="parallelclusteruserpolicy-sge-torque"></a>

**Note**  
This section only applies to AWS ParallelCluster versions up to and including version 2.11.4. Starting with version 2.11.5, AWS ParallelCluster doesn't support the use of SGE or Torque schedulers.

The following example sets the `ParallelClusterUserPolicy`, using SGE or Torque as the scheduler. In this example, “*<RESOURCES S3 BUCKET>*” is the value of the [`cluster_resource_bucket`](cluster-definition.md#cluster-resource-bucket-section) setting; if [`cluster_resource_bucket`](cluster-definition.md#cluster-resource-bucket-section) is not specified then “*<RESOURCES S3 BUCKET>*” is “parallelcluster-\$1”.

**Note**  
If you use a custom role, [`ec2_iam_role`](cluster-definition.md#ec2-iam-role)` = <role_name>`, you must change the IAM resource to include the name of that role from:  
`"Resource": "arn:aws:iam::<AWS ACCOUNT ID>:role/parallelcluster-*"`  
To:  
`"Resource": "arn:aws:iam::<AWS ACCOUNT ID>:role/<role_name>"`

### `ParallelClusterUserPolicy` using `awsbatch`
<a name="parallelclusteruserpolicy-batch"></a>

The following example sets the `ParallelClusterUserPolicy` using `awsbatch` as the scheduler. In this example, “*<RESOURCES S3 BUCKET>*” is the value of the [`cluster_resource_bucket`](cluster-definition.md#cluster-resource-bucket-section) setting; if [`cluster_resource_bucket`](cluster-definition.md#cluster-resource-bucket-section) is not specified then “*<RESOURCES S3 BUCKET>*” is “parallelcluster-\$1”.
