The `aws` module consists of multiple metricsets. Each metricset requires its own set of IAM permissions.

Please see the list of `aws` module metricsets over here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-aws.html#\_metricsets\_7](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-aws.html#_metricsets_7). If you click on the ones you are using, you can see their IAM permissions.
