The following permissions must be assigned to your IAM user:

Actions	Access level	Required resource type
`SubscribeToShard`	`Read`	`consumer`
`ListShards`	`List`	`stream`
`DescribeStreamConsumer`	`Read`	`consumer`
`ListStreamConsumers`	`Read`	`stream`
`RegisterStreamConsumer`	`Write`	`stream`
`ListStreams`	`List`
`EnableEnhancedMonitoring`	`Write`
`DescribeLimits`	`Read`
`DisableEnhancedMonitoing`	`Write`

Access key

You must supply an Access key and secret key to authenticate to the Kinesis stream.
For more information, refer to Managing access keys for IAM users.
