# Prerrequisites

- AWS API Connectivity  
    The plugin is a binary that contains the packaged dependencies so it is not necessary to install any type of dependency for its use.
- Permissions  
    To make requests through the API, the account used to authenticate during execution requires certain permissions.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Permission Assignment </span>  
Create a policy in JSON like the following:

```
{
   "Version": "2012-10-17",
   "Statement": [
       {
           "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
           "Effect": "Allow",
           "Action": [
  			   "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
               "s3:GetBucketLocation"
           ],
           "Resource": "*"
       }
   ]
}
```

The previous policy must be assigned to a new user.

The user who has these permissions will be able to access AWS S3 monitoring through this plugin.
