Customer managed permissions in RAM
In addition to the AWS managed permissions available in RAM, AWS Private CA supports RAM customer managed permissions (CMP). Customer managed permissions allow CA owners to define a custom set of actions that cross-account principals can perform on a shared CA, providing finer-grained access control than the default AWS managed permissions.
The following actions are available for customer managed permissions on the
acm-pca:certificate-authority resource type:
Read actions
-
acm-pca:DescribeCertificateAuthority– View CA configuration and status. -
acm-pca:GetCertificate– Retrieve an issued certificate. -
acm-pca:GetCertificateAuthorityCertificate– Retrieve the CA certificate and certificate chain. -
acm-pca:ListPermissions– List permissions assigned to the CA. -
acm-pca:ListTags– List tags associated with the CA.
Write actions
-
acm-pca:IssueCertificate– Issue a certificate from the shared CA. -
acm-pca:RevokeCertificate– Revoke a previously issued certificate.
You can create customer managed permissions that include any combination of these
actions. For example, you can create a read-only permission that excludes
IssueCertificate and RevokeCertificate, or a
full-access permission that includes all seven actions.
For more information about creating customer managed permissions, see Creating customer managed permissions in the AWS RAM User Guide.
