Service-linked roles for ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ - ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ

An Alibaba Cloud service may need to access other Alibaba Cloud services to implement a feature. In this case, you can assign a service-linked role to the Alibaba Cloud service to obtain the permissions that are required to access other Alibaba Cloud services. A service-linked role is a Resource Access Management (RAM) role. In most cases, the system automatically creates a service-linked role when you perform an operation. If the system fails to create a service-linked role or ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ does not support the automatic creation of a service-linked role, you must manually create the role.

Background information

RAM provides a system policy for each service-linked role. You cannot modify the system policy. To view the information about the system policy of a specific service-linked role, go to the details page of the role. For more information, see System Policy Reference.

FAQ

Why is the AliyunServiceRoleForOns service-linked role for ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ unable to be automatically created for my RAM user?

If the service-linked role is created for your Alibaba Cloud account, your RAM user inherits the service-linked role of your Alibaba Cloud account. If your RAM user does not inherit the role, log on to the RAM console and add the following permission policy:

{
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Action": [
        "ram:CreateServiceLinkedRole"
      ],
      "Resource": "acs:ram:*:Alibaba Cloud account ID:role/*",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Condition": {
        "StringEquals": {
          "ram:ServiceName":  "ons.aliyuncs.com"
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "Version": "1"
}

Note

Replace Alibaba Cloud account ID with the ID of your Alibaba Cloud account.

If the service-linked role cannot be automatically created for your RAM user after the policy is attached to the user, attach one of the following system policies to the RAM user:

AliyunMQFullAccess
AliyunMQReadOnlyAccess
