API Reference StopWorkspacesPool Stops the specified pool. You cannot stop a WorkSpace pool unless it has a running mode of AutoStop and a state of AVAILABLE, IMPAIRED, UNHEALTHY, or ERROR. Request Syntax { "PoolId": "string" } Request Parameters The request accepts the following data in JSON format. PoolId The identifier of the pool. Type: String Pattern: ^wspool-[0-9a-z]{9}$ Required: Yes Response Elements If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response with an empty HTTP body.

Important Terminating a WorkSpace is a permanent action and cannot be undone. The user's data is destroyed. If you need to archive any user data, contact Support before terminating the WorkSpace. You can terminate a WorkSpace that is in any state except SUSPENDED. This operation is asynchronous and returns before the WorkSpaces have been completely terminated. After a WorkSpace is terminated, the TERMINATED state is returned only briefly before the WorkSpace directory metadata is cleaned up, so this state is rarely returned. To confirm that a WorkSpace is terminated, check for the WorkSpace ID by using DescribeWorkSpaces. If the WorkSpace ID isn't returned, then the WorkSpace has been successfully terminated. Note Simple AD and AD Connector are made available to you free of charge to use with WorkSpaces. If there are no WorkSpaces being used with your Simple AD or AD Connector directory for 30 consecutive days, this directory will be automatically deregistered for use with Amazon WorkSpaces, and you will be charged for this directory as per the AWS Directory Service pricing terms. To delete empty directories, see Delete the Directory for Your WorkSpaces. If you delete your Simple AD or AD Connector directory, you can always create a new one when you want to start using WorkSpaces again.

CloudTrail captures API calls for WorkSpaces as events. The calls captured include calls from the WorkSpaces console and code calls to the WorkSpaces API operations. If you create a trail, you can enable continuous delivery of CloudTrail events to an Amazon S3 bucket, including events for WorkSpaces. If you don't configure a trail, you can still view the most recent events in the CloudTrail console in Event history. Using the information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine the request that was made to WorkSpaces, the IP address from which the request was made, who made the request, when it was made, and additional details. To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to configure and enable it, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide. WorkSpaces Information in CloudTrail CloudTrail is enabled on your AWS account when you create the account. When supported event activity occurs in WorkSpaces, that activity is recorded in a CloudTrail event along with other AWS service events in Event history. For example, calls to create, rebuild, or terminate WorkSpaces generate entries in CloudTrail log files. For more information, see Actions. You can view, search, and download recent events in your AWS account. For more information, see Viewing Events with CloudTrail Event History. For an ongoing record of events in your AWS account, including events for WorkSpaces, create a trail. A trail enables CloudTrail to deliver log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. By default, when you create a trail in the console, the trail applies to all AWS Regions. The trail logs events from all Regions in the AWS partition and delivers the log files to the Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. Additionally, you can configure other AWS services to further analyze and act upon the event data collected in CloudTrail logs. For more information, see the following: • Overview for Creating a Trail • CloudTrail Supported Services and Integrations • Configuring Amazon SNS Notifications for CloudTrail • Receiving CloudTrail Log Files from Multiple Regions and Receiving CloudTrail Log Files from Multiple Accounts WorkSpaces Information in CloudTrail API Version 2015-04-08 459 Amazon WorkSpaces Service API Reference Example: WorkSpaces Log File Entry A trail is a configuration that enables delivery of events as log files to an Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. CloudTrail log files contain one or more log entries. An event represents a single request from any source and includes information about the requested action, the date and time of the action, request parameters, and so on. CloudTrail log files aren't an ordered stack trace of the public API calls, so they don't appear in any specific order. Any sensitive information, such as passwords, authentication tokens, file comments, and file contents are redacted in the log entries. The following shows an example of a CloudTrail log entry for WorkSpaces. { "Records" : [ { "eventVersion" : "1.02", "userIdentity" : { "type" : "IAMUser", "principalId" : "user_id", "arn" : "user_arn", "accountId" : "account_id", "accessKeyId" : "access_key_id", "userName" : "username" }, "eventTime" : "event_time", "eventSource" : "workspaces.amazonaws.com", "eventName" : "DescribeWorkspaces", "awsRegion" : "region",

Business continuity 9 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client End user experience Administrator Guide Once business continuity is configured, devices must be registered and active within the last 15 days. After that, should WorkSpaces Thin Client management services become unavailable, users then can stay connected to their sessions for up to 24 hours . In this condition, the device will not receive software updates, exchange posture information, and cannot be activated. The corresponding device entry in WorkSpaces Thin Client console will not show the latest information. If the WorkSpaces Thin Client device management services remain unavailable beyond 24 hours, the following error message will display: "An error has occurred. Please try again. If the issue persists, contact your IT administrator. (Error Code: 3006)." Configuring WorkSpaces Pools for WorkSpaces Thin Client For WorkSpaces Thin Client to be used with Amazon WorkSpaces Pools, your SAML 2.0 identity provider (IdP) will need to be configured to access the WorkSpaces Pools directory. Amazon WorkSpaces Pools directories are a non-persistent pool of WorkSpaces assigned to a group of users. Note Configurations must be made before using the console for the first time. Before you begin Make sure that you have an AWS account to create or administer a WorkSpace. Device users, however, don't need an AWS account to connect to and use their WorkSpaces. Review and understand the concepts listed in Before You Begin Using Active Directory with WorkSpaces Pools in the Amazon WorkSpaces Administration Guide before you proceed with your configuration. Create a WorkSpaces Pool Set up and create a pool from which user applications are launched and streamed. Configuring WorkSpaces Pools for WorkSpaces Thin Client 10 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide Note You should create a directory before you create a WorkSpaces Pool. For more information, see Configure SAML 2.0 and create a WorkSpaces Pools directory directory. To set up and create a pool 1. Open the WorkSpaces console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/v2/home/. 2. In the navigation pane, choose WorkSpaces, Pools. 3. Choose Create WorkSpaces Pools. 4. Under Onboarding (optional), you can choose Recommend options to me based on my use case to get recommendations on the type of WorkSpaces you want to use. You can skip this step if you know that you want to use WorkSpaces Pools. 5. Under Configure WorkSpaces, enter the following details: • For Name, enter a unique name identifier for the pool. Special characters aren't allowed. • For Description, enter a description for the pool (maximum of 256 characters). • For Bundle, choose from the following the bundle type that you want to use for your WorkSpaces. • Use a base WorkSpaces bundle – Choose one of the bundles from the drop down. For more information about the bundle type you selected, choose Bundle details. To compare bundles offered for pools, choose Compare all bundles. • Use your own custom bundle – Choose a bundle that you previously created. To create a custom bundle, see Create a custom WorkSpaces image and bundle for WorkSpaces Personal. Note BYOL is currently unavailable for WorkSpaces Pools. • For Maximum session duration in minutes, choose the maximum amount of time that a streaming session can remain active. If users are still connected to a streaming instance five minutes before this limit is reached, they are prompted to save any open documents before being disconnected. After this time elapses, the instance is terminated and replaced by a new instance. The maximum session duration that you can set in the WorkSpaces Pools Create a WorkSpaces Pool 11 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide console is 5760 minutes (96 hours). The maximum session duration that you can set using the WorkSpaces Pools API and CLI is 432000 seconds (120 hours). • For Disconnect timeout in minutes, choose the amount of time that a streaming session remains active after users disconnect. If users try to reconnect to the streaming session after a disconnection or network interruption within this time interval, they are connected to their previous session. Otherwise, they are connected to a new session with a new streaming instance. • If a user ends the session by choosing

Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide console is 5760 minutes (96 hours). The maximum session duration that you can set using the WorkSpaces Pools API and CLI is 432000 seconds (120 hours). • For Disconnect timeout in minutes, choose the amount of time that a streaming session remains active after users disconnect. If users try to reconnect to the streaming session after a disconnection or network interruption within this time interval, they are connected to their previous session. Otherwise, they are connected to a new session with a new streaming instance. • If a user ends the session by choosing End Session or Logout on the pools toolbar, the disconnect timeout doesn’t apply. Instead, the user is prompted to save any open documents, and then immediately disconnected from the streaming instance. The instance the user was using is then terminated. • For Idle disconnect timeout in minutes, choose the amount of time that users can be idle (inactive) before they are disconnected from their streaming session and the Disconnect timeout in minutes time interval begins. Users are notified before they are disconnected due to inactivity. If they try to reconnect to the streaming session before the time interval specified in Disconnect timeout in minutes has elapsed, they are connected to their previous session. Otherwise, they are connected to a new session with a new streaming instance. Setting this value to 0 disables it. When this value is disabled, users are not disconnected due to inactivity. Note Users are considered idle when they stop providing keyboard or mouse input during their streaming session. For domain-joined pools, the countdown for the idle disconnect timeout doesn't begin until users log in with their Active Directory domain password or with a smart card. File uploads and downloads, audio in, audio out, and pixels changing do not qualify as user activity. If users continue to be idle after the time interval in Idle disconnect timeout in minutes elapses, they are disconnected. • For Scheduled capacity policies (optional), choose Add new schedule capacity. Indicate the start and end date and time for when to provision the minimum and maximum number of instances for your pool based on the minimum number of expected concurrent users. • For Manual scaling policies (optional), specify the scaling policies for pools to use to increase and decrease the capacity of your pool. Expand Manual scaling policies to add new scaling policies. Create a WorkSpaces Pool 12 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide Note The size of your pool is limited by the minimum and maximum capacity that you specified. • Choose Add new scale out policies and enter the values for adding specified instances if the specified capacity utilization is less or more than the specified threshold value. • Choose Add new scale in policies and enter the values for removing specified instances if the specified capacity utilization is less or more than the specified threshold value. • For Tags, specify the key pair value that you want to use. A key can be a general category, such as "project," "owner," or "environment," with specific associated values. 6. On the Select directory page, choose the directory that you created. To create a directory, choose Create directory. For more information, see Manage directories for WorkSpaces Pools. 7. Choose Create WorkSpace Pool.

You specify a key and a value for each tag. A key can be a general category, such as "project," "owner," or "environment," with specific associated values. You can use tags as a simple yet powerful way to manage AWS resources and to organize data, including billing data. When you add tags to an existing resource, those tags don't appear in your cost allocation report until the first day of the following month. For example, if you add tags to an existing WorkSpaces Thin Client device on July 15, the tags won't appear in your cost allocation report until August 1. For more information, see Using Cost Allocation Tags in the AWS Billing User Guide. Note To view your WorkSpaces Thin Client resource tags in the Cost Explorer, you must activate the tags that you have applied to your WorkSpaces Thin Client resources by following the instructions in Activating User-Defined Cost Allocation Tags in the AWS Billing User Guide. Tags appear 24 hours after activation, but it can take 4–5 days for values associated with those tags to appear in the Cost Explorer. Additionally, to appear and provide cost data in Cost Explorer, WorkSpaces Thin Client resources that have been tagged must incur charges during that time. Cost Explorer only shows cost data from the time when the tags were activated. No historical data is available at this time. Resources that you can tag: • You can add tags to the following resources when you create them—WorkSpaces Thin Client environments. • You can add tags to existing resources of the following types—WorkSpaces Thin Client environments, devices, and software sets. • You can configure the tags for a device in an environment to be automatically applied when you register a device. Tag restrictions • Maximum number of tags per resource—50 51 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide • Maximum key length—128 Unicode characters • Maximum value length—256 Unicode characters • Tag keys and values are case-sensitive. Allowed characters are letters, spaces, and numbers representable in UTF-8, plus the following special characters: + - = . _ : / @. Do not use leading or trailing spaces. • Do not use the aws: prefix in your tag names or values because it is reserved for AWS use. You can't edit or delete tag names or values with this prefix. To manage tags for an existing environment by using the console 1. Open the WorkSpaces Thin Client console. 2. Select the Environment to open its details page 3. Choose Edit. 4. In Tags section, do one or more of the following:. • To add a tag, choose Add new tag and then edit the values of Key and Value. • To update a tag, edit the value of Value. • To delete a tag, choose the Remove next to the tag. 5.

applies to data protection in Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client. As described in this model, AWS is responsible for protecting the global infrastructure that runs all of the AWS Cloud. You are responsible for maintaining control over your content that is hosted on this infrastructure. You are also responsible for the security configuration and Data protection 54 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide management tasks for the AWS services that you use. For more information about data privacy, see the Data Privacy FAQ. For information about data protection in Europe, see the AWS Shared Responsibility Model and GDPR blog post on the AWS Security Blog. For data protection purposes, we recommend that you protect AWS account credentials and set up individual users with AWS IAM Identity Center or AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). That way, each user is given only the permissions necessary to fulfill their job duties. We also recommend that you secure your data in the following ways: • Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) with each account. • Use SSL/TLS to communicate with AWS resources. We require TLS 1.2 and recommend TLS 1.3. • Set up API and user activity logging with AWS CloudTrail. For information about using CloudTrail trails to capture AWS activities, see Working with CloudTrail trails in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide. • Use AWS encryption solutions, along with all default security controls within AWS services. • Use advanced managed security services such as Amazon Macie, which assists in discovering and securing sensitive data that is stored in Amazon S3. • If you require FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules when accessing AWS through a command line interface or an API, use a FIPS endpoint. For more information about the available FIPS endpoints, see Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3. We strongly recommend that you never put confidential or sensitive information, such as your customers' email addresses, into tags or free-form text fields such as a Name field. This includes when you work with WorkSpaces Thin Client or other AWS services using the console, API, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. Any data that you enter into tags or free-form text fields used for names may be used for billing or diagnostic logs. If you provide a URL to an external server, we strongly recommend that you do not include credentials information in the URL to validate your request to that server. Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client collects and provide information about user use of WorkSpaces Thin Client devices and their interaction with the virtual desktop services. For example, available memory, network diagnostics, network information, device connectivity, SAML credentials, device identification information, and crash reports. This information is used to provide you the service and may be used to improve ythe user experience with the service. Further, solely to provide you with the service, the information may be transferred outside of the AWS Region where users are using the service. We process this information in accordance with the AWS Privacy Notice. Data protection 55 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Topics • Data encryption • Data encryption at rest for Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide • Encryption in transit • Key management • Internet work traffic privacy Data encryption WorkSpaces Thin Client collects environment and device customization data, such as user settings, device identifiers, identity provider information, and streaming desktop identifiers. WorkSpaces Thin Client also collects session timestamps. Collected data is stored in Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon S3. WorkSpaces Thin Client uses AWS Key Management Service (KMS) for encryption. To secure your content, follow these guidelines: • Implement least privilege access and create specific roles to be used for WorkSpaces Thin Client actions. • Protect data end-to-end by providing a customer-managed key, so WorkSpaces Thin Client can encrypt your data at rest with the keys you supply. • Be careful with sharing environment activation codes and user credentials: • Admins are required to log into the WorkSpaces Thin Client console, and users are required to provide activation codes for WorkSpaces Thin Client setup use credentials to log into the streaming desktop. • Anyone with physical access can set up a WorkSpaces Thin Client, but they can't start a session unless they have a valid activation code and user credentials to log in. • Users can explicitly end their sessions by choosing to lock their screen, reboot, or shut down the device by using the device toolbar. This discards the device session and clears session credentials. WorkSpaces Thin Client secures content and metadata by default by encrypting all sensitive data with AWS KMS. If there is an error applying existing settings, a user can't access new sessions and devices cannot apply software updates.

log in. • Users can explicitly end their sessions by choosing to lock their screen, reboot, or shut down the device by using the device toolbar. This discards the device session and clears session credentials. WorkSpaces Thin Client secures content and metadata by default by encrypting all sensitive data with AWS KMS. If there is an error applying existing settings, a user can't access new sessions and devices cannot apply software updates. Data encryption 56 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide Data encryption at rest for Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client provides encryption by default to protect sensitive customer data at rest by using AWS owned encryption keys. • AWS owned keys — Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client uses these keys by default to automatically encrypt personally identifiable data. You cannot view, manage, or use AWS owned keys or audit their use. However, you don't have to take any action or change any programs to protect the keys that encrypt your data. For more information, see AWS owned keys in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide. Encryption of data at rest by default helps reduce the operational overhead and complexity involved in protecting sensitive data. At the same time, it enables you to build secure applications that meet strict encryption compliance and regulatory requirements. While you can't disable this layer of encryption or select an alternate encryption type, you can add a second layer of encryption over the existing AWS owned encryption keys by choosing a customer managed key when you create your Thin Client Environment: • Customer managed keys — Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client supports the use of a symmetric customer managed key that you create, own, and manage to add a second layer of encryption on the existing AWS owned encryption. Because you have full control of this layer of encryption, you can perform such tasks as the following: • Establishing and maintaining key policies • Establishing and maintaining IAM policies • Enabling and disabling key policies • Rotating key cryptographic material • Adding tags • Creating key aliases • Scheduling keys for deletion For more information, see customer managed key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide. The following table summarizes how Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client encrypts personally identifiable data. Encryption at rest 57 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide Data type AWS owned key encryption Customer managed key encryption (Optional) Environment name Enabled Enabled WorkSpaces Thin Client Environment name Device name Enabled Enabled WorkSpaces Thin Client Device name Device settings Enabled Enabled WorkSpaces Thin Client Device settings Device creation tags Enabled Enabled WorkSpaces Thin Client Environment device creation tags Note Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client automatically enables encryption at rest by using AWS owned keys to protect personally identifiable data at no charge. However, AWS KMS charges apply for using a customer managed key. For more information about pricing, see the AWS Key Management Service pricing. How Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client uses AWS KMS Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client requires a key policy for you to use your customer managed key. Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client requires the key policy to use your customer managed key for the following internal operations: Encryption at rest 58 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide • Send GenerateDataKey requests to AWS KMS to encrypt the data. • Send Decrypt requests to AWS KMS to decrypt the encrypted data. You can remove the service's access to the customer managed key at any time. If you do, Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client won't be able to access any of the data encrypted by the customer managed key, which affects operations that are dependent on that data. For example, if you attempt to get environment details that WorkSpaces Thin Client can't access, then the operation returns an AccessDeniedException error. Additionally, the WorkSpaces Thin Client device will not be able to use a WorkSpaces Thin Client Environment. Create a customer managed key You can create a symmetric customer managed key by using the AWS Management Console or the AWS KMS API operations. To create a symmetric customer managed key Follow the steps for Creating symmetric customer managed key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide. Key policy Key policies control access to your customer managed key. Every customer managed key must have exactly one key policy, which contains statements that determine who can use the key and how they can use it. When you create your customer managed key, you can specify a key policy. For more information, see Managing access to customer managed keys in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide. To use your customer managed key with your Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client resources, the following API operations must be permitted in the key policy: • kms:DescribeKey — Provides the customer managed key details so Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client can validate

customer managed key. Every customer managed key must have exactly one key policy, which contains statements that determine who can use the key and how they can use it. When you create your customer managed key, you can specify a key policy. For more information, see Managing access to customer managed keys in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide. To use your customer managed key with your Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client resources, the following API operations must be permitted in the key policy: • kms:DescribeKey — Provides the customer managed key details so Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client can validate the key. • kms:GenerateDataKey — Allows using the customer managed key to encrypt the data. • kms:Decrypt — Allows using the customer managed key to decrypt the data. The following are policy statement examples you can add for Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client: { Encryption at rest 59 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client "Statement": [ { Administrator Guide "Sid": "Allow access to principals authorized to use Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": {"AWS": "*"}, "Action": [ "kms:DescribeKey", "kms:GenerateDataKey", "kms:Decrypt" ], "Resource": "*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "kms:ViaService": "thinclient.region.amazonaws.com", "kms:CallerAccount": "111122223333" } } }, { "Sid": "Allow Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client service to encrypt and decrypt data", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": {"Service": "thinclient.amazonaws.com"}, "Action": [ "kms:GenerateDataKey", "kms:Decrypt" ], "Resource": "*", "Condition": { "StringLike": { "aws:SourceArn": "arn:aws:thinclient:region:111122223333:*", "kms:EncryptionContext:aws:thinclient:arn": "arn:aws:thinclient:region:111122223333:*" } } }, { "Sid": "Allow access for key administrators", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": {"AWS": "arn:aws:iam::111122223333:root"}, "Action": ["kms:*"], Encryption at rest 60 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide "Resource": "arn:aws:kms:region:111122223333:key/key_ID" }, { "Sid": "Allow read-only access to key metadata to the account", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": {"AWS": "arn:aws:iam::111122223333:root"}, "Action": [ "kms:Describe*", "kms:Get*", "kms:List*" ], "Resource": "*" } ] } For more information about specifying permissions in a policy, see the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide. For more information about troubleshooting key access, see the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide. Specifying a customer managed key for WorkSpaces Thin Client You can specify a customer managed key as a second layer encryption for the following resources: • WorkSpaces Thin Client Environment When you create an Environment, you can specify the data key by providing a kmsKeyArn, which Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client uses to encrypt the identifiable personal data. • kmsKeyArn — A key identifier for an AWS KMS customer managed key. Provide a key ARN. When a new WorkSpaces Thin Client device is added to the WorkSpaces Thin Client Environment encrypted with a customer managed key, the WorkSpaces Thin Client Device inherits the customer managed key setting from the WorkSpaces Thin Client Environment. An encryption context is an optional set of key-value pairs that contains additional contextual information about the data. Encryption at rest 61 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide AWS KMS uses the encryption context as additional authenticated data to support authenticated encryption. When you include an encryption context in a request to encrypt data, AWS KMS binds the encryption context to the encrypted data. To decrypt data, include the same encryption context in the request. Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client encryption context Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client uses the same encryption context in all AWS KMS cryptographic operations, where the key is aws:thinclient:arn and the value is the Amazon Resource Name (ARN). The following is the Environment encryption context: "encryptionContext": { "aws:thinclient:arn": "arn:aws:thinclient:region:111122223333:environment/ environment_ID" } The following is the Device encryption context: "encryptionContext": { "aws:thinclient:arn": "arn:aws:thinclient:region:111122223333:device/device_ID" } Using encryption context for monitoring When you use a symmetric customer managed key to encrypt your WorkSpaces Thin Client Environment and Device data, you can also use the encryption context in audit records and logs to identify how the customer managed key is being used. The encryption context also appears in logs generated by AWS CloudTrail or Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Using encryption context to control access to your customer managed key You can use the encryption context in key policies and IAM policies as conditions to control access to your symmetric customer managed key. The following are example key policy statements to grant access to a customer managed key for a specific encryption context. The condition in this policy statement requires that the kms:Decrypt call has an encryption context constraint that specifies the encryption context. { "Sid": "Enable Decrypt to access Thin Client Environment", Encryption at rest 62 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client "Effect": "Allow", Administrator Guide "Principal": {"AWS": "arn:aws:iam::111122223333:role/ExampleReadOnlyRole"}, "Action": "kms:Decrypt", "Resource": "*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": {"kms:EncryptionContext:aws:thinclient:arn": "arn:aws:thinclient:region:111122223333:environment/environment_ID"} } } Monitoring your encryption keys for Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client When you use an AWS KMS customer managed key with your Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client resources, you can use AWS CloudTrail or Amazon CloudWatch Logs to track requests that Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client sends to AWS KMS. The following examples are AWS CloudTrail events for DescribeKey, GenerateDataKey, Decrypt, to monitor KMS operations called by Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client to access

Service user – If you use the WorkSpaces Thin Client service to do your job, then your administrator provides you with the credentials and permissions that you need. As you use more WorkSpaces Thin Client features to do your work, you might need additional permissions. Understanding how access is managed can help you request the right permissions from your Internet work traffic privacy 71 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide administrator. If you cannot access a feature in WorkSpaces Thin Client, see Troubleshooting Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client identity and access. Service administrator – If you're in charge of WorkSpaces Thin Client resources at your company, you probably have full access to WorkSpaces Thin Client. It's your job to determine which WorkSpaces Thin Client features and resources your service users should access. You must then submit requests to your IAM administrator to change the permissions of your service users. Review the information on this page to understand the basic concepts of IAM. To learn more about how your company can use IAM with WorkSpaces Thin Client, see How Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client works with IAM. IAM administrator – If you're an IAM administrator, you might want to learn details about how you can write policies to manage access to WorkSpaces Thin Client.

How Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client works with IAM. IAM administrator – If you're an IAM administrator, you might want to learn details about how you can write policies to manage access to WorkSpaces Thin Client. To view example WorkSpaces Thin Client identity-based policies that you can use in IAM, see Identity-based policy examples for Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client. Authenticating with identities Authentication is how you sign in to AWS using your identity credentials. You must be authenticated (signed in to AWS) as the AWS account root user, as an IAM user, or by assuming an IAM role. You can sign in to AWS as a federated identity by using credentials provided through an identity source. AWS IAM Identity Center (IAM Identity Center) users, your company's single sign-on authentication, and your Google or Facebook credentials are examples of federated identities. When you sign in as a federated identity, your administrator previously set up identity federation using IAM roles. When you access AWS by using federation, you are indirectly assuming a role. Depending on the type of user you are, you can sign in to the AWS Management Console or the AWS access portal. For more information about signing in to AWS, see How to sign in to your AWS account in the AWS Sign-In User Guide. If you access AWS programmatically, AWS provides a software development kit (SDK) and a command line interface (CLI) to cryptographically sign your requests by using your credentials. If you don't use AWS tools, you must sign requests yourself. For more information about using the recommended method to sign requests yourself, see AWS Signature Version 4 for API requests in the IAM User Guide. Regardless of the authentication method that you use, you might be required to provide additional security information. For example, AWS recommends that you use multi-factor authentication Authenticating with identities 72 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide (MFA) to increase the security of your account. To learn more, see Multi-factor authentication in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide and AWS Multi-factor authentication in IAM in the IAM User Guide. AWS account root user When you create an AWS account, you begin with one sign-in identity that has complete access to all AWS services and resources in the account. This identity is called the AWS account root user and is accessed by signing in with the email address and password that you used to create the account. We strongly recommend that you don't use the root user for your everyday tasks. Safeguard your root user credentials and use them to perform the tasks that only the root user can perform. For the complete list of tasks that require you to sign in as the root user, see Tasks that require root user credentials in the IAM User Guide. Federated identity As a best practice, require human users, including users that require administrator access, to use federation with an identity provider to access AWS services by using temporary credentials. A federated identity is a user from your enterprise user directory, a web identity provider, the AWS Directory Service, the Identity Center directory, or any user that accesses AWS services by using credentials provided through an identity source. When federated identities access AWS accounts, they assume roles, and the roles provide temporary credentials. For centralized access management, we recommend that you use AWS IAM Identity Center. You can create users and groups in IAM Identity Center, or you can connect and synchronize to a set of users and groups in your own identity source for use across all your AWS accounts and applications. For information about IAM Identity Center, see What is IAM Identity Center? in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide. IAM users and groups An IAM user is an identity within your AWS account that has specific permissions for a single person or application. Where possible, we recommend relying on temporary credentials instead of creating IAM users who have long-term credentials such as passwords and access keys. However, if you have specific use cases that require long-term credentials with IAM users, we recommend that you rotate access keys. For more information, see Rotate access keys regularly for use cases that require long- term credentials in the IAM User Guide. Authenticating with identities 73 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide An IAM group is an identity that specifies a collection of IAM users. You can't sign in as a group. You can use groups to specify permissions for multiple users at a time. Groups make permissions easier to manage for large sets of users. For example, you could have a group named IAMAdmins and give that group permissions to administer IAM resources. Users are different from roles. A user is uniquely associated with one person or application, but a role is intended to

term credentials in the IAM User Guide. Authenticating with identities 73 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide An IAM group is an identity that specifies a collection of IAM users. You can't sign in as a group. You can use groups to specify permissions for multiple users at a time. Groups make permissions easier to manage for large sets of users. For example, you could have a group named IAMAdmins and give that group permissions to administer IAM resources. Users are different from roles. A user is uniquely associated with one person or application, but a role is intended to be assumable by anyone who needs it. Users have permanent long-term credentials, but roles provide temporary credentials. To learn more, see Use cases for IAM users in the IAM User Guide. IAM roles An IAM role is an identity within your AWS account that has specific permissions. It is similar to an IAM user, but is not associated with a specific person. To temporarily assume an IAM role in the AWS Management Console, you can switch from a user to an IAM role (console). You can assume a role by calling an AWS CLI or AWS API operation or by using a custom URL. For more information about methods for using roles, see Methods to assume a role in the IAM User Guide. IAM roles with temporary credentials are useful in the following situations: • Federated user access – To assign permissions to a federated identity, you create a role and define permissions for the role. When a federated identity authenticates, the identity is associated with the role and is granted the permissions that are defined by the role. For information about roles for federation, see Create a role for a third-party identity provider (federation) in the IAM User Guide. If you use IAM Identity Center, you configure a permission set. To control what your identities can access after they authenticate, IAM Identity Center correlates the permission set to a role in IAM. For information about permissions sets, see Permission sets in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide. • Temporary IAM user permissions – An IAM user or role can assume an IAM role to temporarily take on different permissions for a specific task. • Cross-account access – You can use an IAM role to allow someone (a trusted principal) in a different account to access resources in your account. Roles are the primary way to grant cross- account access. However, with some AWS services, you can attach a policy directly to a resource (instead of using a role as a proxy). To learn the difference between roles and resource-based policies for cross-account access, see Cross account resource access in IAM in the IAM User Guide. • Cross-service access – Some AWS services use features in other AWS services. For example, when you make a call in a service, it's common for that service to run applications in Amazon EC2 or Authenticating with identities 74 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide store objects in Amazon S3. A service might do this using the calling principal's permissions, using a service role, or using a service-linked role. • Forward access sessions (FAS) – When you use an IAM user or role to perform actions in AWS, you are considered a principal. When you use some services, you might perform an action that then initiates another action in a different service. FAS uses the permissions of the principal calling an AWS service, combined with the requesting AWS service to make requests to downstream services. FAS requests are only made when a service receives a request that requires interactions with other AWS services or resources to complete. In this case, you must have permissions to perform both actions. For policy details when making FAS requests, see Forward access sessions. • Service role – A service role is an IAM role that a service assumes to perform actions on your behalf. An IAM administrator can create, modify, and delete a service role from within IAM. For more information, see Create a role to delegate permissions to an AWS service in the IAM User Guide. • Service-linked role – A service-linked role is a type of service role that is linked to an AWS service. The service can assume the role to perform an action on your behalf. Service-linked roles appear in your AWS account and are owned by the service. An IAM administrator can view, but not edit the permissions for service-linked roles. • Applications running on Amazon EC2 – You can use an IAM role to manage temporary credentials for applications that are running on an EC2 instance and making AWS CLI or AWS API requests. This is preferable to storing access keys within the EC2 instance. To assign an AWS role to

of service role that is linked to an AWS service. The service can assume the role to perform an action on your behalf. Service-linked roles appear in your AWS account and are owned by the service. An IAM administrator can view, but not edit the permissions for service-linked roles. • Applications running on Amazon EC2 – You can use an IAM role to manage temporary credentials for applications that are running on an EC2 instance and making AWS CLI or AWS API requests. This is preferable to storing access keys within the EC2 instance. To assign an AWS role to an EC2 instance and make it available to all of its applications, you create an instance profile that is attached to the instance. An instance profile contains the role and enables programs that are running on the EC2 instance to get temporary credentials. For more information, see Use an IAM role to grant permissions to applications running on Amazon EC2 instances in the IAM User Guide. Managing access using policies You control access in AWS by creating policies and attaching them to AWS identities or resources. A policy is an object in AWS that, when associated with an identity or resource, defines their permissions. AWS evaluates these policies when a principal (user, root user, or role session) makes a request. Permissions in the policies determine whether the request is allowed or denied. Most policies are stored in AWS as JSON documents. For more information about the structure and contents of JSON policy documents, see Overview of JSON policies in the IAM User Guide. Managing access using policies 75 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide Administrators can use AWS JSON policies to specify who has access to what. That is, which principal can perform actions on what resources, and under what conditions. By default, users and roles have no permissions. To grant users permission to perform actions on the resources that they need, an IAM administrator can create IAM policies. The administrator can then add the IAM policies to roles, and users can assume the roles. IAM policies define permissions for an action regardless of the method that you use to perform the operation. For example, suppose that you have a policy that allows the iam:GetRole action. A user with that policy can get role information from the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the AWS API. Identity-based policies Identity-based policies are JSON permissions policy documents that you can attach to an identity, such as an IAM user, group of users, or role. These policies control what actions users and roles can perform, on which resources, and under what conditions. To learn how to create an identity-based policy, see Define custom IAM permissions with customer managed policies in the IAM User Guide. Identity-based policies can be further categorized as inline policies or managed policies. Inline policies are embedded directly into a single user, group, or role. Managed policies are standalone policies that you can attach to multiple users, groups, and roles in your AWS account. Managed policies include AWS managed policies and customer managed policies. To learn how to choose between a managed policy or an inline policy, see Choose between managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide. Resource-based policies Resource-based policies are JSON policy documents that you attach to a resource. Examples of resource-based policies are IAM role trust policies and Amazon S3 bucket policies. In services that support resource-based policies, service administrators can use them to control access to a specific resource. For the resource where the policy is attached, the policy defines what actions a specified principal can perform on that resource and under what conditions. You must specify a principal in a resource-based policy. Principals can include accounts, users, roles, federated users, or AWS services. Resource-based policies are inline policies that are located in that service. You can't use AWS managed policies from IAM in a resource-based policy. Managing access using policies 76 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Access control lists (ACLs) Administrator Guide Access control lists (ACLs) control which principals (account members, users, or roles) have permissions to access a resource. ACLs are similar to resource-based policies, although they do not use the JSON policy document format. Amazon S3, AWS WAF, and Amazon VPC are examples of services that support ACLs. To learn more about ACLs, see Access control list (ACL) overview in the Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide. Other policy types AWS supports additional, less-common policy types. These policy types can set the maximum permissions granted to you by the more common policy types. • Permissions boundaries – A permissions boundary is an advanced feature in which you set the maximum permissions that an identity-based policy can grant to an IAM entity (IAM user or role). You can set a permissions

JSON policy document format. Amazon S3, AWS WAF, and Amazon VPC are examples of services that support ACLs. To learn more about ACLs, see Access control list (ACL) overview in the Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide. Other policy types AWS supports additional, less-common policy types. These policy types can set the maximum permissions granted to you by the more common policy types. • Permissions boundaries – A permissions boundary is an advanced feature in which you set the maximum permissions that an identity-based policy can grant to an IAM entity (IAM user or role). You can set a permissions boundary for an entity. The resulting permissions are the intersection of an entity's identity-based policies and its permissions boundaries. Resource-based policies that specify the user or role in the Principal field are not limited by the permissions boundary. An explicit deny in any of these policies overrides the allow. For more information about permissions boundaries, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the IAM User Guide. • Service control policies (SCPs) – SCPs are JSON policies that specify the maximum permissions for an organization or organizational unit (OU) in AWS Organizations. AWS Organizations is a service for grouping and centrally managing multiple AWS accounts that your business owns. If you enable all features in an organization, then you can apply service control policies (SCPs) to any or all of your accounts. The SCP limits permissions for entities in member accounts, including each AWS account root user. For more information about Organizations and SCPs, see Service control policies in the AWS Organizations User Guide. • Resource control policies (RCPs) – RCPs are JSON policies that you can use to set the maximum available permissions for resources in your accounts without updating the IAM policies attached to each resource that you own. The RCP limits permissions for resources in member accounts and can impact the effective permissions for identities, including the AWS account root user, regardless of whether they belong to your organization. For more information about Organizations and RCPs, including a list of AWS services that support RCPs, see Resource control policies (RCPs) in the AWS Organizations User Guide. • Session policies – Session policies are advanced policies that you pass as a parameter when you programmatically create a temporary session for a role or federated user. The resulting session's Managing access using policies 77 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide permissions are the intersection of the user or role's identity-based policies and the session policies. Permissions can also come from a resource-based policy. An explicit deny in any of these policies overrides the allow. For more information, see Session policies in the IAM User Guide. Multiple policy types When multiple types of policies apply to a request, the resulting permissions are more complicated to understand. To learn how AWS determines whether to allow a request when multiple policy types are involved, see Policy evaluation logic in the IAM User Guide. How Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client works with IAM Before you use IAM to manage access to WorkSpaces Thin Client, learn what IAM features are available to use with WorkSpaces Thin Client. IAM features you can use with Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client IAM feature WorkSpaces Thin Client support Identity-based policies Resource-based policies Policy actions Policy resources Policy condition keys ACLs ABAC (tags in policies) Temporary credentials Principal permissions Service roles Service-linked roles Yes No Yes Yes Yes No Yes Yes Yes No No How Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client works with IAM 78 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide To get a high-level view of how WorkSpaces Thin Client and other AWS services work with most IAM features, see AWS services that work with IAM in the IAM User Guide. Identity-based policies for WorkSpaces Thin Client Supports identity-based policies: Yes Identity-based policies are JSON permissions policy documents that you can attach to an identity, such as an IAM user, group of users, or role. These policies control what actions users and roles can perform, on which resources, and under what conditions. To learn how to create an identity-based policy, see Define custom IAM permissions with customer managed policies in the IAM User Guide. With IAM identity-based policies, you can specify allowed or denied actions and resources as well as the conditions under which actions are allowed or denied. You can't specify the principal in an identity-based policy because it applies to the user or role to which it is attached. To learn about all of the elements that you can use in a JSON policy, see IAM JSON policy elements reference in the IAM User Guide.

You can't specify the principal in an identity-based policy because it applies to the user or role to which it is attached. To learn about all of the elements that you can use in a JSON policy, see IAM JSON policy elements reference in the IAM User Guide. Identity-based policy examples for WorkSpaces Thin Client To view examples of WorkSpaces Thin Client identity-based policies, see Identity-based policy examples for Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client. Resource-based policies within WorkSpaces Thin Client Supports resource-based policies: No Resource-based policies are JSON policy documents that you attach to a resource. Examples of resource-based policies are IAM role trust policies and Amazon S3 bucket policies. In services that support resource-based policies, service administrators can use them to control access to a specific resource. For the resource where the policy is attached, the policy defines what actions a specified principal can perform on that resource and under what conditions. You must specify a principal in a resource-based policy. Principals can include accounts, users, roles, federated users, or AWS services. To enable cross-account access, you can specify an entire account or IAM entities in another account as the principal in a resource-based policy. Adding a cross-account principal to a resource- based policy is only half of establishing the trust relationship. When the principal and the resource are in different AWS accounts, an IAM administrator in the trusted account must also grant How Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client works with IAM 79 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide the principal entity (user or role) permission to access the resource. They grant permission by attaching an identity-based policy to the entity. However, if a resource-based policy grants access to a principal in the same account, no additional identity-based policy is required. For more information, see Cross account resource access in IAM in the IAM User Guide. Policy actions for WorkSpaces Thin Client Supports policy actions: Yes Administrators can use AWS JSON policies to specify who has access to what. That is, which principal can perform actions on what resources, and under what conditions. The Action element of a JSON policy describes the actions that you can use to allow or deny access in a policy. Policy actions usually have the same name as the associated AWS API operation. There are some exceptions, such as permission-only actions that don't have a matching API operation. There are also some operations that require multiple actions in a policy. These additional actions are called dependent actions. Include actions in a policy to grant permissions to perform the associated operation. To see a list of WorkSpaces Thin Client actions, see Actions Defined by Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client in the Service Authorization Reference. Policy actions in WorkSpaces Thin Client use the following prefix before the action: thinclient To specify multiple actions in a single statement, separate them with commas, as shown in the following example: "Action": [ "thinclient:action1", "thinclient:action2" ] To view examples of WorkSpaces Thin Client identity-based policies, see Identity-based policy examples for Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client. How Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client works with IAM 80 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide Policy resources for WorkSpaces Thin Client Supports policy resources: Yes Administrators can use AWS JSON policies to specify who has access to what. That is, which principal can perform actions on what resources, and under what conditions. The Resource JSON policy element specifies the object or objects to which the action applies. Statements must include either a Resource or a NotResource element. As a best practice, specify a resource using its Amazon Resource Name (ARN). You can do this for actions that support a specific resource type, known as resource-level permissions. For actions that don't support resource-level permissions, such as listing operations, use a wildcard (*) to indicate that the statement applies to all resources. "Resource": "*" To see a list of WorkSpaces Thin Client resource types and their ARNs, see Resources Defined by Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client in the Service Authorization Reference. To learn with which actions you can specify the ARN of each resource, see Actions Defined by Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client. To view examples of WorkSpaces Thin Client identity-based policies, see Identity-based policy examples for Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client. Policy condition keys for WorkSpaces Thin Client Supports service-specific policy condition keys: Yes Administrators can use AWS JSON policies to specify who has access to what. That is, which principal can perform actions on what resources, and under what conditions. The Condition element (or Condition block) lets you specify conditions in which a statement is in effect. The Condition element is optional. You can create conditional expressions that use condition operators, such as equals or less than, to match the condition in the policy with values

WorkSpaces Thin Client identity-based policies, see Identity-based policy examples for Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client. Policy condition keys for WorkSpaces Thin Client Supports service-specific policy condition keys: Yes Administrators can use AWS JSON policies to specify who has access to what. That is, which principal can perform actions on what resources, and under what conditions. The Condition element (or Condition block) lets you specify conditions in which a statement is in effect. The Condition element is optional. You can create conditional expressions that use condition operators, such as equals or less than, to match the condition in the policy with values in the request. If you specify multiple Condition elements in a statement, or multiple keys in a single Condition element, AWS evaluates them using a logical AND operation. If you specify multiple values for a single condition key, AWS evaluates the condition using a logical OR operation. All of the conditions must be met before the statement's permissions are granted. How Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client works with IAM 81 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide You can also use placeholder variables when you specify conditions. For example, you can grant an IAM user permission to access a resource only if it is tagged with their IAM user name. For more information, see IAM policy elements: variables and tags in the IAM User Guide. AWS supports global condition keys and service-specific condition keys. To see all AWS global condition keys, see AWS global condition context keys in the IAM User Guide. To see a list of WorkSpaces Thin Client condition keys, see Condition Keys for Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client in the Service Authorization Reference. To learn with which actions and resources you can use a condition key, see Actions Defined by Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client. To view examples of WorkSpaces Thin Client identity-based policies, see Identity-based policy examples for Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client. ACLs in WorkSpaces Thin Client Supports ACLs: No Access control lists (ACLs) control which principals (account members, users, or roles) have permissions to access a resource. ACLs are similar to resource-based policies, although they do not use the JSON policy document format. ABAC with WorkSpaces Thin Client Supports ABAC (tags in policies): Yes Attribute-based access control (ABAC) is an authorization strategy that defines permissions based on attributes. In AWS, these attributes are called tags. You can attach tags to IAM entities (users or roles) and to many AWS resources. Tagging entities and resources is the first step of ABAC. Then you design ABAC policies to allow operations when the principal's tag matches the tag on the resource that they are trying to access. ABAC is helpful in environments that are growing rapidly and helps with situations where policy management becomes cumbersome. To control access based on tags, you provide tag information in the condition element of a policy using the aws:ResourceTag/key-name, aws:RequestTag/key-name, or aws:TagKeys condition keys. If a service supports all three condition keys for every resource type, then the value is Yes for the service. If a service supports all three condition keys for only some resource types, then the value is Partial. How Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client works with IAM 82 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide For more information about ABAC, see Define permissions with ABAC authorization in the IAM User Guide. To view a tutorial with steps for setting up ABAC, see Use attribute-based access control (ABAC) in the IAM User Guide. Using temporary credentials with WorkSpaces Thin Client Supports temporary credentials: Yes Some AWS services don't work when you sign in using temporary credentials. For additional information, including which AWS services work with temporary credentials, see AWS services that work with IAM in the IAM User Guide. You are using temporary credentials if you sign in to the AWS Management Console using any method except a user name and password. For example, when you access AWS using your company's single sign-on (SSO) link, that process automatically creates temporary credentials. You also automatically create temporary credentials when you sign in to the console as a user and then switch roles. For more information about switching roles, see Switch from a user to an IAM role (console) in the IAM User Guide. You can manually create temporary credentials using the AWS CLI or AWS API. You can then use those temporary credentials to access AWS. AWS recommends that you dynamically generate temporary credentials instead of using long-term access keys. For more information, see Temporary security credentials in IAM. Cross-service principal permissions for WorkSpaces Thin Client Supports forward access sessions (FAS): Yes When you use an IAM user or role to perform actions in AWS, you are considered a principal. When you use some services, you might perform an action that then initiates another action in a different service. FAS uses the permissions of the principal

Cross-service principal permissions for WorkSpaces Thin Client Supports forward access sessions (FAS): Yes When you use an IAM user or role to perform actions in AWS, you are considered a principal. When you use some services, you might perform an action that then initiates another action in a different service. FAS uses the permissions of the principal calling an AWS service, combined with the requesting AWS service to make requests to downstream services. FAS requests are only made when a service receives a request that requires interactions with other AWS services or resources to complete. In this case, you must have permissions to perform both actions. For policy details when making FAS requests, see Forward access sessions. Service roles for WorkSpaces Thin Client Supports service roles: No How Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client works with IAM 83 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide A service role is an IAM role that a service assumes to perform actions on your behalf. An IAM administrator can create, modify, and delete a service role from within IAM. For more information, see Create a role to delegate permissions to an AWS service in the IAM User Guide. Warning Changing the permissions for a service role might disrupt WorkSpaces Thin Client functionality. Edit service roles only when WorkSpaces Thin Client provides guidance to do so. Service-linked roles for WorkSpaces Thin Client Supports service-linked roles: No A service-linked role is a type of service role that is linked to an AWS service. The service can assume the role to perform an action on your behalf. Service-linked roles appear in your AWS account and are owned by the service. An IAM administrator can view, but not edit the permissions for service-linked roles. For details about creating or managing service-linked roles, see AWS services that work with IAM. Find a service in the table that includes a Yes in the Service-linked role column. Choose the Yes link to view the service-linked role documentation for that service. Identity-based policy examples for Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client By default, users and roles don't have permission to create or modify WorkSpaces Thin Client resources. They also can't perform tasks by using the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or AWS API. To grant users permission to perform actions on the resources that they need, an IAM administrator can create IAM policies. The administrator can then add the IAM policies to roles, and users can assume the roles. To learn how to create an IAM identity-based policy by using these example JSON policy documents, see Create IAM policies (console) in the IAM User Guide. For details about actions and resource types defined by WorkSpaces Thin Client, including the format of the ARNs for each of the resource types, see Actions, Resources, and Condition Keys for Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client in the Service Authorization Reference. Identity-based policy examples 84 Administrator Guide Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Topics • Policy best practices • Using the WorkSpaces Thin Client console • Grant read-only access to WorkSpaces Thin Client • Allow users to view their own permissions • Grant full access to WorkSpaces Thin Client Policy best practices Identity-based policies determine whether someone can create, access, or delete WorkSpaces Thin Client resources in your account. These actions can incur costs for your AWS account. When you create or edit identity-based policies, follow these guidelines and recommendations: • Get started with AWS managed policies and move toward least-privilege permissions – To get started granting permissions to your users and workloads, use the AWS managed policies that grant permissions for many common use cases. They are available in your AWS account. We recommend that you reduce permissions further by defining AWS customer managed policies that are specific to your use cases. For more information, see AWS managed policies or AWS managed policies for job functions in the IAM User Guide. • Apply least-privilege permissions – When you set permissions with IAM policies, grant only the permissions required to perform a task. You do this by defining the actions that can be taken on specific resources under specific conditions, also known as least-privilege permissions. For more information about using IAM to apply permissions, see Policies and permissions in IAM in the IAM User Guide. • Use conditions in IAM policies to further restrict access – You can add a condition to your policies to limit access to actions and resources. For example, you can write a policy condition to specify that all requests must be sent using SSL. You can also use conditions to grant access

permissions required to perform a task. You do this by defining the actions that can be taken on specific resources under specific conditions, also known as least-privilege permissions. For more information about using IAM to apply permissions, see Policies and permissions in IAM in the IAM User Guide. • Use conditions in IAM policies to further restrict access – You can add a condition to your policies to limit access to actions and resources. For example, you can write a policy condition to specify that all requests must be sent using SSL. You can also use conditions to grant access to service actions if they are used through a specific AWS service, such as AWS CloudFormation. For more information, see IAM JSON policy elements: Condition in the IAM User Guide. • Use IAM Access Analyzer to validate your IAM policies to ensure secure and functional permissions – IAM Access Analyzer validates new and existing policies so that the policies adhere to the IAM policy language (JSON) and IAM best practices. IAM Access Analyzer provides more than 100 policy checks and actionable recommendations to help you author secure and functional policies. For more information, see Validate policies with IAM Access Analyzer in the IAM User Guide. Identity-based policy examples 85 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide • Require multi-factor authentication (MFA) – If you have a scenario that requires IAM users or a root user in your AWS account, turn on MFA for additional security. To require MFA when API operations are called, add MFA conditions to your policies. For more information, see Secure API access with MFA in the IAM User Guide. For more information about best practices in IAM, see Security best practices in IAM in the IAM User Guide. Using the WorkSpaces Thin Client console To access the Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client console, you must have a minimum set of permissions. These permissions must allow you to list and view details about the WorkSpaces Thin Client resources in your AWS account. If you create an identity-based policy that is more restrictive than the minimum required permissions, the console won't function as intended for entities (users or roles) with that policy. You don't need to allow minimum console permissions for users that are making calls only to the AWS CLI or the AWS API. Instead, allow access to only the actions that match the API operation that they're trying to perform. Grant read-only access to WorkSpaces Thin Client This example shows how you can create a policy that allows IAM users to view a WorkSpaces Thin Client configuration, but not make changes. This policy includes permissions to complete this action on the console or program by using the AWS CLI or AWS API. { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "thinclient:GetEnvironment", "thinclient:ListEnvironments", "thinclient:GetDevice", "thinclient:ListDevices", "thinclient:ListDeviceSessions", "thinclient:GetSoftwareSet", "thinclient:ListSoftwareSets", "thinclient:ListTagsForResource" Identity-based policy examples 86 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client ], Administrator Guide "Resource": "arn:aws:thinclient:*:*:*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": ["workspaces:DescribeWorkspaceDirectories"], "Resource": "arn:aws:workspaces:*:*:directory/*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": ["workspaces-web:GetPortal"], "Resource": ["arn:aws:workspaces-web:*:*:portal/*"] }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": ["workspaces-web:GetUserSettings"], "Resource": ["arn:aws:workspaces-web:*:*:userSettings/*"] }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": ["appstream:DescribeStacks"], "Resource": ["arn:aws:appstream:*:*:stack/*"] } ] } Allow users to view their own permissions This example shows how you might create a policy that allows IAM users to view the inline and managed policies that are attached to their user identity.

AWS managed policies are designed to provide permissions for many common use cases so that you can start assigning permissions to users, groups, and roles. Keep in mind that AWS managed policies might not grant least-privilege permissions for your specific use cases because they're available for all AWS customers to use. We recommend that you reduce permissions further by defining customer managed policies that are specific to your use cases. You cannot change the permissions defined in AWS managed policies. If AWS updates the permissions defined in an AWS managed policy, the update affects all principal identities (users, groups, and roles) that the policy is attached to. AWS is most likely to update an AWS managed policy when a new AWS service is launched or new API operations become available for existing services. For more information, see AWS managed policies in the IAM User Guide. AWS managed policy: AmazonWorkSpacesThinClientReadOnlyAccess You can attach the AmazonWorkSpacesThinClientReadOnlyAccess policy to your IAM identities. This policy grants full access permissions to the WorkSpaces Thin AWS managed policies 89 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide Client service and its dependencies. For more information on this managed policy, see AmazonWorkSpacesThinClientReadOnlyAccess in the AWS Managed Policy Reference guide. Permissions details This policy includes the following permissions. • thinclient (WorkSpaces Thin Client) – Allows read-only access to all WorkSpaces Thin Client actions. • workspaces (WorkSpaces) – Allows permissions to describe WorkSpaces directories and connection aliases. This is used to check that your WorkSpaces resources are compatible with WorkSpaces Thin Client. It is also used to show these resources in the WorkSpaces Thin Client AWS console. • workspaces-web (WorkSpaces Secure Browser) – Allows permissions to describe WorkSpaces Secure Browser portals and user settings. This is used to check that your WorkSpaces Secure Browser resources are compatible with WorkSpaces Thin Client. It is also used to show these resources in the WorkSpaces Thin Client AWS console. • appstream (AppStream 2.0) – Allows permissions to describe AppStream 2.0 stacks.

July 19th 2024 Troubleshooting Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client identity and access Use the following information to help you diagnose and fix common issues that you might encounter when working with WorkSpaces Thin Client and IAM. Topics • I am not authorized to perform an action in WorkSpaces Thin Client • I want to view my access keys • I'm an administrator and want to allow others to access WorkSpaces Thin Client • I want to allow people outside of my AWS account to access my WorkSpaces Thin Client resources I am not authorized to perform an action in WorkSpaces Thin Client If the AWS Management Console tells you that you're not authorized to perform an action, then you must contact your administrator for assistance. Your administrator is the person that provided you with your user name and password. The following example error occurs when the mateojackson IAM user tries to use the console to view details about a fictional my-thin-client-device resource but does not have the fictional thinclient:ListDevices permissions. User: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/mateojackson is not authorized to perform: thinclient:ListDevices on resource: my-thin-client-device Troubleshooting 94 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide In this case, Mateo asks his administrator to update his policies to allow him to access the my- thin-client-device resource by using the thinclient:ListDevices action. I want to view my access keys After you create your IAM user access keys, you can view your access key ID at any time. However, you can't view your secret access key again. If you lose your secret key, you must create a new access key pair. Access keys consist of two parts: an access key ID (for example, AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE) and a secret access key (for example, wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY). Like a user name and password, you must use both the access key ID and secret access key together to authenticate your requests. Manage your access keys as securely as you do your user name and password. Important Do not provide your access keys to a third party, even to help find your canonical user ID. By doing this, you might give someone permanent access to your AWS account. When you create an access key pair, you are prompted to save the access key ID and secret access key in a secure location. The secret access key is available only at the time you create it. If you lose your secret access key, you must add new access keys to your IAM user. You can have a maximum of two access keys. If you already have two, you must delete one key pair before creating a new one. To view instructions, see Managing access keys in the IAM User Guide. I'm an administrator and want to allow others to access WorkSpaces Thin Client To allow others to access WorkSpaces Thin Client, you must grant permission to the people or applications that need access. If you are using AWS IAM Identity Center to manage people and applications, you assign permission sets to users or groups to define their level of access. Permission sets automatically create and assign IAM policies to IAM roles that are associated with the person or application. For more information, see Permission sets in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide. If you are not using IAM Identity Center, you must create IAM entities (users or roles) for the people or applications that need access. You must then attach a policy to

permission to the people or applications that need access. If you are using AWS IAM Identity Center to manage people and applications, you assign permission sets to users or groups to define their level of access. Permission sets automatically create and assign IAM policies to IAM roles that are associated with the person or application. For more information, see Permission sets in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide. If you are not using IAM Identity Center, you must create IAM entities (users or roles) for the people or applications that need access. You must then attach a policy to the entity that grants them the correct permissions in WorkSpaces Thin Client. After the permissions are granted, provide the Troubleshooting 95 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide credentials to the user or application developer. They will use those credentials to access AWS. To learn more about creating IAM users, groups, policies, and permissions, see IAM Identities and Policies and permissions in IAM in the IAM User Guide. For more information, see Grant full access to WorkSpaces Thin Client. I want to allow people outside of my AWS account to access my WorkSpaces Thin Client resources You can create a role that users in other accounts or people outside of your organization can use to access your resources. You can specify who is trusted to assume the role. For services that support resource-based policies or access control lists (ACLs), you can use those policies to grant people access to your resources. To learn more, consult the following: • To learn whether WorkSpaces Thin Client supports these features, see How Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client works with IAM. • To learn how to provide access to your resources across AWS accounts that you own, see Providing access to an IAM user in another AWS account that you own in the IAM User Guide. • To learn how to provide access to your resources to third-party AWS accounts, see Providing access to AWS accounts owned by third parties in the IAM User Guide. • To learn how to provide access through identity federation, see Providing access to externally authenticated users (identity federation) in the IAM User Guide. • To learn the difference between using roles and resource-based policies for cross-account access, see Cross account resource access in IAM in the IAM User Guide. Resilience in Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client The AWS global infrastructure is built around AWS Regions and Availability Zones. AWS Regions provide multiple physically separated and isolated Availability Zones, which are connected with low-latency, high-throughput, and highly redundant networking. With Availability Zones, you can design and operate applications and databases that automatically fail over between Availability Zones without interruption. Availability Zones are more highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than traditional single or multiple data center infrastructures. For more information about AWS Regions and Availability Zones, see AWS Global Infrastructure. Resilience 96 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide In addition to the AWS global infrastructure, WorkSpaces Thin Client offers several features to help support your data resiliency and backup needs. Vulnerability analysis and management in Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Configuration and IT controls are a shared responsibility between AWS and you. For more information, see the AWS shared responsibility model. Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client cross-integrates with Amazon WorkSpaces, Amazon AppStream 2.0, and WorkSpaces Web. See the following links for more information about update management for each of these services: • Update Management in Amazon AppStream 2.0 • Update management in Amazon WorkSpaces • Configuration and vulnerability analysis in Amazon WorkSpaces Web Vulnerability Analysis and Management 97 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide Monitoring Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Monitoring is an important part of maintaining the reliability, availability, and performance of Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client and your other AWS solutions. AWS provides the following monitoring tools to watch WorkSpaces Thin Client, report when something is wrong, and take automatic actions when appropriate: • AWS CloudTrail captures API calls and related events made by or on behalf of your AWS account and delivers the log files to the Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. You can identify users and accounts that called AWS, the source IP address from which the calls were made, and when the calls occurred. For more information, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide. Topics • Logging Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client API calls using AWS CloudTrail Logging Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client API calls using AWS CloudTrail Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client is integrated with AWS CloudTrail, a service that provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an AWS service. CloudTrail captures all API calls for WorkSpaces Thin Client as events. The calls captured include calls from the WorkSpaces Thin Client console and code calls to the WorkSpaces Thin Client API operations. Using the information collected by CloudTrail, you

when the calls occurred. For more information, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide. Topics • Logging Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client API calls using AWS CloudTrail Logging Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client API calls using AWS CloudTrail Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client is integrated with AWS CloudTrail, a service that provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an AWS service. CloudTrail captures all API calls for WorkSpaces Thin Client as events. The calls captured include calls from the WorkSpaces Thin Client console and code calls to the WorkSpaces Thin Client API operations. Using the information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine the request that was made to WorkSpaces Thin Client, the IP address from which the request was made, when it was made, and additional details. All Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client actions are logged by CloudTrail and are documented in the Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client API Reference. For example, calls to the CreateEnvironment, DeleteDevice and GetSoftwareSet actions generate entries in the CloudTrail log files. Every event or log entry contains information about who generated the request. The identity information helps you determine the following: • Whether the request was made with root user or user credentials. • Whether the request was made on behalf of an IAM Identity Center user. • Whether the request was made with temporary security credentials for a role or federated user. CloudTrail logs 98 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide • Whether the request was made by another AWS service. CloudTrail is active in your AWS account when you create the account and you automatically have access to the CloudTrail Event history. The CloudTrail Event history provides a viewable, searchable, downloadable, and immutable record of the past 90 days of recorded management events in an AWS Region. For more information, see Working with CloudTrail Event history in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide. There are no CloudTrail charges for viewing the Event history. For an ongoing record of events in your AWS account past 90 days, create a trail or a CloudTrail Lake event data store. CloudTrail trails A trail enables CloudTrail to deliver log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. All trails created using the AWS Management Console are multi-Region. You can create a single-Region or a multi-Region trail by using the AWS CLI. Creating a multi-Region trail is recommended because you capture activity in all AWS Regions in your account. If you create a single-Region trail, you can view only the events logged in the trail's AWS Region. For more information about trails, see Creating a trail for your AWS account and Creating a trail for an organization in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide. You can deliver one copy of your ongoing management events to your Amazon S3 bucket at no charge from CloudTrail by creating a trail, however, there are Amazon S3 storage charges. For more information about CloudTrail pricing, see AWS CloudTrail Pricing. For information about Amazon S3 pricing, see Amazon S3 Pricing. CloudTrail Lake event data stores CloudTrail Lake lets you run SQL-based queries on your events. CloudTrail Lake converts existing events in row-based JSON format to Apache ORC format. ORC is a columnar storage format that is optimized for fast retrieval of data. Events are aggregated into event data stores, which are immutable collections of events based on criteria that you select by applying advanced event selectors. The selectors that you apply to an event data store control which events persist and are available for you to query. For more information about CloudTrail Lake, see Working with AWS CloudTrail Lake in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide. CloudTrail Lake event data stores and queries incur costs. When you create an event data store, you choose the pricing option you want to use for the event data store. The pricing option determines the cost for ingesting and storing events, and the default and maximum CloudTrail logs 99 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide retention period for the event data store. For more information about CloudTrail pricing, see AWS CloudTrail Pricing. WorkSpaces Thin Client data events in CloudTrail Data events provide information about the resource operations performed on or in a resource (for example, registration of a device by an end user). These are also known as data plane operations. Data events are often high-volume activities. By default, CloudTrail doesn’t log data events. The CloudTrail Event history doesn't record data events. Additional charges apply for data events. For more information about CloudTrail pricing, see AWS CloudTrail Pricing. You can log data events for the WorkSpaces Thin Client resource types by using the CloudTrail console, AWS CLI, or CloudTrail API operations. For more information about how to log data events, see Logging data events with the AWS Management Console and Logging data events with the AWS Command Line Interface in the AWS CloudTrail

CloudTrail data events 100 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide WorkSpaces Thin Client management events in CloudTrail Management events provide information about management operations that are performed on resources in your AWS account. These are also known as control plane operations. By default, CloudTrail logs management events. Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client logs all WorkSpaces Thin Client control plane operations as management events. For a list of the Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client control plane operations that WorkSpaces Thin Client logs to CloudTrail, see the Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client API Reference. WorkSpaces Thin Client event examples An event represents a single request from any source and includes information about the requested API operation, the date and time of the operation, request parameters, and so on. CloudTrail log files aren't an ordered stack trace of the public API calls, so events don't appear in any specific order. The following example shows a CloudTrail event that demonstrates the RegisterDevice operation. { "eventVersion": "1.10", "userIdentity": { "type": "Unknown", "accountId": "111111111111", "userName": "DSN: G1X11X11111111XX" }, "eventTime": "2024-06-19T17:13:44Z", "eventSource": "thinclient.amazonaws.com", "eventName": "RegisterDevice", "awsRegion": "us-west-2", "sourceIPAddress": "AWS Internal", "userAgent": "AWS Internal", "requestParameters": { "dsn": "G1X11X11111111XX", "activationCode": "xxx1xxx1", "model": "AFTGAZL" }, "responseElements": null, "requestID": "f626fb2b-a841-4b87-9a9b-685a62024058", CloudTrail management events 101 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide "eventID": "214385d7-9249-4f60-af56-b4c951e0491d", "readOnly": false, "resources": [ { "type": "AWS::ThinClient::Device", "ARN": "arn:aws:thinclient:us-west-2:111111111111:device/DEVICE_ID" } ], "eventType": "AwsApiCall", "managementEvent": false, "recipientAccountId": "111111111111", "eventCategory": "Data" } The following example shows a CloudTrail event that demonstrates the UpdateDeviceDetails operation. { "eventVersion": "1.10", "userIdentity": { "type": "Unknown", "accountId": "111111111111", "userName": "DSN: G1X11X11111111XX" }, "eventTime": "2024-10-21T17:46:27Z", "eventSource": "thinclient.amazonaws.com", "eventName": "UpdateDeviceDetails", "awsRegion": "us-west-2", "sourceIPAddress": "AWS Internal", "userAgent": "AWS Internal", "requestParameters": null, "responseElements": null, "requestID": "7d562fcf-a9ce-40da-9e5c-9ef390b8b83c", "eventID": "f294b614-b00c-45ef-b293-cd389121033a", "readOnly": false, "resources": [ { "type": "AWS::ThinClient::Device", "ARN": "arn:aws:thinclient:us-west-2:111111111111:device/DEVICE_ID" } ], "eventType": "AwsServiceEvent", "managementEvent": false, CloudTrail event examples 102 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide "recipientAccountId": "111111111111", "serviceEventDetails": { "settings": { "network": { "ethernet": { "addresses": [ { "gateway": "gateway", "localIp": "localIp", "type": "IPV4" } ], "connectionStatus": "NOT_CONNECTED" }, "networkInterfaceInUse": "ETHERNET", "wifi": { "addresses": [ { "gateway": "gateway", "localIp": "localIp", "type": "IPV4" } ], "connectionStatus": "NOT_CONNECTED" } }, "peripherals": { "bluetooth": { "enabledStatus": "ENABLED" }, "keyboards": [ { "name": "name", "type": "USB" } ], "mice": [ { "name": "name", "type": "BLUETOOTH" } ], "sound": { "microphones": [ CloudTrail event examples 103 Administrator Guide Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client { "name": "name", "selectionStatus": "SELECTED", "type": "BUILT_IN" } ], "speakers": [ { "name": "name", "selectionStatus": "SELECTED", "type": "BUILT_IN" } ] }, "webcams": [ { "name": "name", "selectionStatus": "SELECTED", "type": "USB" } ] }, "powerAndSleep": { "sleepAfter": "FIFTEEN_MINUTES" } }, "updatedAt": "2024-10-21T17:46:27.624Z" }, "eventCategory": "Data" } For information about CloudTrail record contents, see CloudTrail record contents in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide. CloudTrail event examples 104 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide Creating Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client resources with AWS CloudFormation Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client is integrated with AWS CloudFormation, a service that helps you model and set up your AWS resources. This way, you can spend less time creating and managing your resources and infrastructure. You create a template that describes all the AWS resources that you want (such as Environments), and AWS CloudFormation provisions and configures those resources for you. When you use AWS CloudFormation, you can reuse your template to set up your WorkSpaces Thin Client resources consistently and repeatedly. Describe your resources once, and then provision the same resources repeatedly in multiple AWS accounts and Regions.

You create a template that describes all the AWS resources that you want (such as Environments), and AWS CloudFormation provisions and configures those resources for you. When you use AWS CloudFormation, you can reuse your template to set up your WorkSpaces Thin Client resources consistently and repeatedly. Describe your resources once, and then provision the same resources repeatedly in multiple AWS accounts and Regions. WorkSpaces Thin Client and AWS CloudFormation templates To provision and configure resources for WorkSpaces Thin Client and related services, you must understand AWS CloudFormation templates. Templates are formatted text files in JSON or YAML format. These templates describe the resources that you want to provision in your AWS CloudFormation stacks. If you're unfamiliar with JSON or YAML formats, you can use AWS CloudFormation Designer to help you get started with AWS CloudFormation templates. For more information, see What is AWS CloudFormation Designer? in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide. WorkSpaces Thin Client supports creating Environments in AWS CloudFormation. For more information, including examples of JSON and YAML templates for Environments, see the Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client resource type reference in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide. Learn more about AWS CloudFormation To learn more about AWS CloudFormation, see the following resources: • AWS CloudFormation • AWS CloudFormation User Guide • AWS CloudFormation API Reference • AWS CloudFormation Command Line Interface User Guide WorkSpaces Thin Client and AWS CloudFormation templates 105 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide Access Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client by using an interface endpoint (AWS PrivateLink) You can use AWS PrivateLink to create a private connection between your VPC and Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client. You can access WorkSpaces Thin Client as a VPC, without the use of an internet gateway, NAT device, VPN connection, or AWS Direct Connect connection. Instances in your VPC don't require public IP addresses to access WorkSpaces Thin Client. You establish this private connection by creating an interface endpoint that's powered by AWS PrivateLink. We create an endpoint network interface in each subnet that you enable for the interface endpoint. These are requester-managed network interfaces that serve as the entry point for traffic destined for WorkSpaces Thin Client. For more information, see Access AWS services through AWS PrivateLink in the AWS PrivateLink Guide. Considerations for WorkSpaces Thin Client Before you set up an interface endpoint for WorkSpaces Thin Client, review Considerations in the AWS PrivateLink Guide. WorkSpaces Thin Client supports making calls to all of its API actions through the interface endpoint. Create an interface endpoint for WorkSpaces Thin Client You can create an interface endpoint for WorkSpaces Thin Client by using either the Amazon VPC console or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). For more information, see Create an interface endpoint in the AWS PrivateLink Guide. Create an interface endpoint for WorkSpaces Thin Client by using the following service name: com.amazonaws.region.thinclient.api If you enable private DNS for the interface endpoint, you can make API requests to WorkSpaces Thin Client by using its default Regional DNS name. For example, api.thinclient.us- east-1.amazonaws.com. Considerations 106 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide Create an endpoint policy for your interface endpoint An endpoint policy is an IAM resource that you can attach to an interface endpoint. The default endpoint policy gives you full access to WorkSpaces Thin Client through the interface endpoint. To control the access granted to WorkSpaces Thin Client from your VPC, attach a custom endpoint policy to the interface endpoint. An endpoint policy specifies the following information: • The principals that can perform actions (AWS accounts, IAM users, and IAM roles). • The actions that can be performed. • The resources on which the actions can be performed. For more information, see Control access to services using endpoint policies in the AWS PrivateLink Guide. Example: VPC endpoint policy for WorkSpaces Thin Client actions The following is an example of a custom endpoint policy. When you attach this policy to your interface endpoint, it grants access to the listed WorkSpaces Thin Client actions for all principals on all resources. { "Statement": [ { "Principal": "*", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "thinclient:ListEnvironments", "thinclient:ListDevices", "thinclient:ListSoftwareSets" ], "Resource":"*" } ] } Create an endpoint policy 107 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide Document history for the WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide The following table describes the documentation history for releases of the WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide.

WorkSpaces Thin Client is a compact device designed to connect up to two monitors and USB devices like a keyboard, mouse, headset, and webcam. To maximize endpoint security, WorkSpaces Thin Client devices do not allow local data storage or installation of unapproved applications. The WorkSpaces Thin Client device ships preloaded with device management software. You can use these APIs to complete WorkSpaces Thin Client tasks, such as creating environments or viewing devices. For more information about WorkSpaces Thin Client, including the required permissions to use the service, see the Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client Administrator Guide. For more information about using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to manage your WorkSpaces Thin Client resources, see the WorkSpaces Thin Client section of the AWS CLI Reference. This document was last published on May 21, 2025.

Request Body The request accepts the following data in JSON format. CreateEnvironment API Version 2023-08-22 3 Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client clientToken API Reference Specifies a unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. This lets you safely retry the request without accidentally performing the same operation a second time. Passing the same value to a later call to an operation requires that you also pass the same value for all other parameters. We recommend that you use a UUID type of value. If you don't provide this value, then AWS generates a random one for you. If you retry the operation with the same ClientToken, but with different parameters, the retry fails with an IdempotentParameterMismatch error. Type: String Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1.
