Permissions file details

Clumio generates a permissions file based on the asset types selected when you manually on-board your AWS account to Clumio. The policies attached to each of the entities grant Clumio specific permissions to access your account and selected resources within it to protect your AWS assets.ย 

The tables below contain the permissions that Clumio requires to perform an inventory of the selected assetsย  and backup and restore operations. Based on your asset selections, you will see all of the following entities or a subset of them in the permissions file.ย

ClumioEC2RestorePolicy

This is the Clumio Managed IAM policy for EBS and EC2 restore operations. Most of the policy statements used in ClumioEc2RestorePolicy use tag based conditions to provide access to the actions.

The following tags are used in the tag based conditions:

  1. ClumioVendorTag - Vendor: Clumio
    This is a generic used to identify Clumio created resources in the customer account.
  2. ClumioRestoreTag - clumio.restore.tag : "*"
    During the process of EC2/EBS Restore, this particular tag is intermittently applied to the resources until the completion of the restore.
Action(s)Permission statement
ebs:StartSnapshotA Clumio restore task invokes StartSnapshot to restore a snapshot with the following steps:

- starts a snapshot
- puts the snapshot data of the volume to be restored in the snapshot
- completes the snapshot.Allow StartSnapshot action only if the request contains ClumioVendorTag.
ebs:CompleteSnapshot
ebs:PutSnapshotBlock
Clumio restore task invokes CompleteSnapshot to restore a snapshot.
Snapshot operations are allowed only on snapshots with ClumioVendorTag.

Allow DeleteVolume only if the volume is tagged with ClumioRestoreTag.
ec2:AttachVolumeClumio restore attaches the restored volumes to the restored instance or the instance specified in EC2 restore volumes request.
ec2:DetachVolume
ec2:AttachVolume
AttachVolume attaches an EBS volume to an EC2 instance. There is no condition for this operation. This is to facilitate the following:

- Allow attaching a volume which was not restored by Clumio to a Clumio restored EC2 instance.
- Allow attaching a Clumio restored volume to an EC2 instance which was not restored by Clumio.DetachVolume allows Clumio to detach a volume only from a Clumio restored EC2 instance.
ec2:RegisterImageClumio restore uses RegisterImage operation to create an AMI, in case of a restore as an AMI image.
RegisterImage can be performed only on a Clumio restored snapshot.
ec2:DeregisterImageClumio restore de-registers the image if the restore operation has failed after the register image operation.
DeregisterImage can be performed only on a Clumio restored snapshot.
ec2:RunInstancesClumio restore uses run instance operation to launch a restored instance with the required resources.
ec2:StartInstances
ec2:StopInstances
ec2:TerminateInstances
Clumio restore performs instance based operations such asย  StartInstances, StopInstances and TerminateInstances at various steps in the instance restore task.
Allow the listed instance operations on instances with ClumioRestoreTag.

DeleteNetworkInterface is allowed only if the interface is tagged with ClumioRestoreTag.
ec2:AssociateAddress
ec2:DisassociateAddress
Clumio restore associates addresses with the network interfaces after restoring the instance.
If the restore fails after association of address to the network interfaces step, then the DisassociateAddress operation is performed.
The AssociateAddress or DisassociateAddress operations are performed only on instances and network interfaces tagged with ClumioRestoreTag.
ec2:CreateTagsClumio intends to create tags only on Clumio created resources so as to avoid extending Clumio Roleโ€™s access to other existing resources by allowing CreateTags operation.
Deny direct CreateTags operation.ย 
Allow tag creation on listed resources only if they are associated with CreateAction operations other than CreateTags.
Clumio creates images using the RegisterImage operation which does not support CreateTags as a dependent operation. Therefore, access to CreateTags is required by Clumio restore.
Allow CreateTags operation only on an image only if one of the request tags is ClumioRestoreTag.
ec2:DeleteTagsDeleteTags is a delete operation which should be allowed only on resources which have been created by Clumio operations to avoid accidental deletion of tags.
