Adding user permissions to a queue

SQS allows you to define permissions for your queue. This permission determines the ability of your queue to interact. You can allow or explicitly deny some permissions. The following steps explain how to set permissions for a queue:

1. Select a queue from the queue list, as shown in Figure 12.30:

Figure 12.30: Queue list

2. Click Queue Actions, and then Add a Permission, as shown in Figure 12.31:

3. In the subsequent screen, for Effect, select Allow or Deny as required. You can specify an account in Principal, if you want to assign the permission to a specific person, or select the Everybody checkbox to assign the permission to everybody. From the Actions tab, you can choose specific actions that you want to assign, or you can select the All SQS Actions checkbox to assign permissions for all actions, as shown in Figure 12.32:
