How do I grant an IAM user access to submit support cases?

I want to grant access to an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user so that they can submit support cases from my AWS account.

Resolution

Note: AWS Support can discuss account and resource details only with the AWS account root user.

To grant permissions to IAM users, attach the AWSSupportAccess managed policy. This AWS managed policy grants an IAM user full access to Support.

Example policy that grants access to the AWS Support Center:

{   "Version": "2012-10-17",   
"Statement": [
   {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": "support:*",
      "Resource": "*"
   },
   {
       "Effect": "Deny",
       "Action": "support:ResolveCase",
       "Resource": "*"
    }]
}

Note: In the example, the IAM user has access only to create a support case. The IAM user can't resolve the case.
