This page outlines the steps to enable AWS Integration with Zilla. We will be using the Delegate access across AWS accounts using IAM roles tutorial as a guide to allow you to delegate access of your AWS account to Zilla’s AWS account using AWS IAM Roles.

 

Bring in IAM Users and Groups into Zilla

To bring in IAM Users and Groups of an AWS Account, you need to create an IAM Role and attach an IAM Policy to it.

The next step is to create a cross account Role.

Create an IAM Role for IAM Users and Groups

Bring SSO Users, Groups and Permission Sets into Zilla

To Bring the SSO users, Groups and Permission sets into an AWS app instance in Zilla, this AWS app instance must have AWS Organization app instance as Parent Application.

Follow the steps for AWS Organization Sync for this AWS app instance’s Parent Application

 

Notes:

  1. “Discover Child Apps” configuration should be set to “Yes” in the AWS Organizations App which is parent of this AWS app.

  2. “Sync AWS SSO accounts in Child AWS Apps” configuration should also be set to “Yes” in the AWS Organizations parent App.

  3. The AWS Organizations App adds SSO configurations to its child AWS apps. These SSO configurations are hidden in the child AWS apps.

  4. The configurations of the discovered AWS child Apps should not be edited manually. If the configurations are edited manually, it removes the hidden SSO configurations.

  5. To restore the hidden SSO configurations to this child AWS app, sync the Parent AWS Organizations App.

Refer for more details.

 Notes:
To sync all S3 buckets data, Zilla requires the following permissions to be allowed in the Zilla IAM Reader role:

  • ListAllMyBuckets

  • GetBucketLocation

  • GetBucketPolicy

  • GetBucketAcl

  • GetBucketPublicAccessBlock

  • GetBucketOwnershipControls

  • GetBucketPolicyStatus

  • GetEncryptionConfiguration

  • ListAccessPoints

  • GetAccessPoint

  • GetAccessPointPolicy

  • GetAccessPointPolicyStatus

Set up AWS Application Integration on Zilla

  9. Click the slider under API Integration to enable.

     

  10. Enter the Role ARN. For example: arn:aws:iam::<YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>:role/Zilla-IAM-Reader-Role created above. and click Next.

     

  11. Click Next again.

     

  12. Your sync will begin. Once it completes, you will see the below message.
