Prerequisites for Integrating with Kinesis

Prepare credentials and permission in the AWS Management Console for Validio to validate your data:

A IAM user with access and permissions to the specified Kinesis stream.
Credentials for the IAM user. For more information, refer to Actions, resources, and condition keys for Amazon Kinesis Data Streams.

IAM user for Source config

We recommend that you create an IAM user where the Validio platform is granted access to the Kinesis stream you want to read data from.

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.
