Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for AWS SimpleDB

easycheese picture easycheese · Oct 7, 2011 · Viewed 8.1k times · Source

I am trying to create a user account for Amazon Web Services to limit my risk if the credentials are compromised.

I have set up a test user with credentials and am trying to create a custom permission so these credentials can only be used for an extremely limited purpose. It is then asking me for an ARN with the tooltip shown. I have no idea how to format it.

  • Is the account id the same as my account number? Format of XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
  • If my domain is TestDomain
  • I'm not sure what to put for region at all...

Should my ARN look like this?
arn:aws:sdb:::domain/

Or?
:XXXX-XXXX-XXXX:TestDomain

Yes.. avoid hyphens while entering.

If my domain is TestDomain

domain/testDomain

I'm not sure what to put for region at all...

You can provide one out of five region end points -- 1. US East (Northern Virginia) 2. US West (Northern California) 3. EU (Ireland) 4. Asia Pacific (Singapore) 5. Asia Pacific (Tokyo)

my ARN look like

"arn:aws:sdb:us-east-1:123456789012:domain/testDomain"
