Kinesis 使用者在使用 KCL 时需要哪些 IAM 权限？

Question

I have a Kinesis consumer I wrote using the Kinesis Client Library (KCL). This consumer is running under an assumed IAM role.

I've read from the documentation that:

The KCL creates a DynamoDB table with the application name and uses the table to maintain state information (such as checkpoints and worker-shard mapping) for the application. Each application has its own DynamoDB table. For more information, see Tracking Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Application State.

Sure, I need to add the dynamodb:CreateTable permission to my IAM role. However, I'm getting errors for other things, (eg dynamodb:DescribeTable ).

Is there a list of all DynamoDB operations my KCL consumer needs access to? The documentation seems to be lacking and I'd rather have an authoritative list than keep trying to run my application.

This should be the set of permissions you need. The table name is provided by the client code, defaults to appName but can be overridden in the ConfigsBuilder :

          - Effect: Allow
            Action:
              - dynamodb:CreateTable
              - dynamodb:DescribeTable
              - dynamodb:Scan
              - dynamodb:PutItem
              - dynamodb:GetItem
              - dynamodb:UpdateItem
              - dynamodb:DeleteItem
            Resource:
              - !Join ["", ["arn:aws:dynamodb:*:", !Ref 'AWS::AccountId', ":table/*"]]

I also had the same issue, was able to resolve issue after setting this policy, there should be a proper permission enabled to access Kinesis also

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "kinesis:Get*",
                "kinesis:DescribeStream",
                "kinesis:ListShards"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:kinesis:ap-south-1:ACCOUNT_ID:stream/STREAM_NAME"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "kinesis:ListStreams"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:kinesis:ap-south-1:ACCOUNT_ID:stream/STREAM_NAME"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Sid": "SpecificTable",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "dynamodb:BatchGet*",
                "dynamodb:DescribeStream",
                "dynamodb:DescribeTable",
                "dynamodb:Get*",
                "dynamodb:Query",
                "dynamodb:Scan",
                "dynamodb:BatchWrite*",
                "dynamodb:CreateTable",
                "dynamodb:Delete*",
                "dynamodb:Update*",
                "dynamodb:PutItem"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:dynamodb:ap-south-1:ACCOUNT_ID:table/TABLE_NAME*"
        }
    ]
}
