Restrict "iam:CreateRole" and "iam:CreatePolicy" to work for kinesis data stream creation only

Question

Hello

I am trying to create a kinesis data stream with the management console and an account that is restricted to using several services including Kinesis Data Firehose.

I found that to complete the operation I need additional permissions:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",         
      "Action": [
          "logs:CreateLogGroup",
          "logs:CreateLogStream"
      ],
      "Resource": ["arn:aws:logs:ap-southeast-2:548097210593:log-group:*"]
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",         
      "Action": [
          "iam:CreateRole"
      ],
      "Resource": ["arn:aws:iam::548097210593:role/service-role/*"]
    },  
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
          "iam:CreatePolicy"
      ],
      "Resource": ["arn:aws:iam::548097210593:policy/service-role/*"]
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
          "iam:AttachRolePolicy",
          "iam:CreatePolicyVersion",
          "iam:DeletePolicyVersion",
          "iam:PassRole"
      ],
      "Resource": ["arn:aws:iam::548097210593:role/service-role/KinesisFirehoseServiceRole-*"]
     }
  ]
}

Is there a way to make "iam:CreateRole" and "iam:CreatePolicy" to be more selective and allow only during the creation of a kinesis data stream?

Note that I make it more specific about the resources for "iam:AttachRolePolicy" and  "iam:PassRole"
But the same does not work for  "iam:CreateRole" and "iam:CreatePolicy".
The Role and Policy do not exist at the moment the actions is performed so

Answer

Instead of granting these powerful IAM permissions why don't you manually create the IAM Role that will be used by the Firehose and then select that role in the AWS Console during creation. 
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/event-publishing-kinesis-analytics-firehose-stream.html

You can refer to this page in in the documentation when determining which permissions should be included in your IAM Role. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/firehose/latest/dev/controlling-access.html

I hope this helps you!
