AWS permissions

When you use an IBM Cloud® Schematics template to create your Satellite location, you must be assigned a role that can create virtual instances and networks in AWS. For example, you can be assigned the AmazonEC2FullAccess built-in role in AWS. For more information about other built-in roles, see the AWS documentation.

Azure permissions

When you use an IBM Cloud® Schematics template to create your Satellite location, you must be assigned a role that can create virtual instances and networks in Microsoft Azure. For example, you can be assigned the Contributor built-in role in Azure. For more information about other built-in roles, see the Azure documentation.

Google Cloud Platform permissions

When you use an IBM Cloud® Schematics template to create your Satellite location, you must be assigned a role that can create virtual instances and networks in Google Cloud Platform. For example, you can be assigned the Cloud Build Editor role in a specific project in GCP IAM. For more information about role permissions in GCP, see the GCP documentation.
