An AWS IAM [access key pair](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html) is required to interact with Amazon SES.
Make sure that the key pair you generate in AWS has proper permissions to the SES resources you want to access.
Read about Amazon SES IAM policies in the [AWS docs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/control-user-access.html).


To enable the IAM role authentication begin by logging into the [AWS Console](https://aws.amazon.com/) and navigate to Identity and Access Management (IAM).

To create a user and generate credentials:

1. Navigate to Users and select **Create User**.

-   Provide a User name and check the box providing them user access to the AWS Managment Console if needed.
-   Once completed with the User creation, copy the ARN provided in the summary for a later step.

2. To obtain the ARN for an existing User, click on the designated username from the Users page and the ARN will be provided in the summary section.

3. From the summary section, select **Create access key**

-   Select **Third-party service** as the access key type and select next.
-   Set a description and select **create access key**.
-   Copy the **Access Key** and **Secret access key** and enter those into the connection configuration of your integration along with the ARN.

To create and assign a user a role:

1. Navigate to Roles and select **Create Role**.

-   Select **Custom Trust Policy** for the Trusted entity types
-   Copy the following statement into the statement console. Making sure to replace the **ARN** with the user's actual ARN from the previous section

```json 
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "AWS": "ARN"
            },
            "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
        }
    ]
}
```

-   When adding permissions provide the **AmazonSESFullAccess** permission
-   Complete remaining steps and select **Create Role**
