  • An Enkryptify workspace with admin access
  • An AWS account with permissions to create IAM roles and policies
  • An AWS Amplify app
Enkryptify connects to your AWS account by assuming an IAM Role that you create. We use temporary credentials from sts:AssumeRole to manage secrets in AWS Secrets Manager.
  • Trust relationship:
    • Trusted entity: AWS Account 676206939822 (Enkryptify)
    • External ID: not required (will be added in a future update)
  • Required permissions on the assumed role (inline policy example below):
    • amplify:UpdateApp
    • amplify:UpdateBranch
    • amplify:GetApp
    • amplify:GetBranch
    • amplify:ListApps
You may scope the Resource to specific secret ARNs. The example uses * for simplicity.
