    If you have never entered your AWS credentials before, the user preferences take you directly to the AWS Credentials dialog.

  2. Enter data for the following fields according to your AWS account setup. For your particular AWS information, see your administrator who set up your Amazon Web Services account. It is possible that several people will be using the same AWS account and credentials, even if using separate MathWorks accounts to access Cloud Center.

    • Role ARN – The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the IAM Role which defines the set of permissions that you are granting Cloud Center for access to actions and resources in your AWS account.

      To create an ARN, you must log in to AWS with a high elevation role, such as an administrator. You need to be able to create IAM roles, not just use IAM roles.

      For more detailed instructions on creating a role, seeAWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).
