Set up an IAM role in AWS

To create or manage an FSx for ONTAP working environment, you need to add AWS credentials to BlueXP by providing the ARN of an IAM role that gives BlueXP the permissions needed to create an FSx for ONTAP working environment. To do this, you must set up an IAM role that enables the BlueXP SaaS to assume the role.
