To define the correct permissions for the role, follow the guide to create an IAM policy

To create your Access key id and Secret access key, follow the AWS Account and Access Keys guide.
When you have entered your authentication information, click Test Connection.
By default, if you have already created a connection, Upsolver selects Use an existing connection, and your Kinesis connection is populated in the list.
