NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Create role

Create a role in your AWS console. See AWS documentation for the details:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/rolesanywhere/latest/userguide/getting-started.html#getting-started-step2

Your policy should look like this with the required parameters filled out.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "Service": [
                    "rolesanywhere.amazonaws.com"
                ]
            },
            "Action": [
              "sts:AssumeRole",
              "sts:TagSession",
              "sts:SetSourceIdentity"
            ],
            "Condition": {
              "ArnEquals": {
                "aws:SourceArn": [
                  "arn:aws:rolesanywhere:<REGION>:<ACCOUNT NUMBER>:trust-anchor/<TRUST ANCHOR ID>"
                ]
              },
              "StringEquals": {
                    "<PRINCIPAL TAG CHECK>"
              }
            }
        }
    ]
}

NetBackup does not require the ArnEquals and the Principal Tag StringEquals checks, but they are suggested security constraints.
