Step 1: download the IAM role IaC template for the Snyk AWS integration in the Web UI

**Snyk is rolling out a new navigation.** The steps on this page describe the classic interface. If your view looks different, visit [Navigate the Snyk Web UI](https://docs.snyk.io/navigate-the-snyk-web-ui#where-things-moved) to map these options to the new interface.

## Step 1: Download IAM role IaC template (Web UI)
Before you can create a Cloud Environment, you must download an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) template declaring a read-only **Identity and Access Management** (IAM) role that Snyk can assume to scan the configuration of resources in your Amazon Web Services (AWS) account.
Use this IaC template to provision the role in [Step 2: Create the Snyk IAM role](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/cloud-platform-integrations/aws-integration/aws-integration-web-ui/step-2-create-the-snyk-iam-role.md).
You can choose the template format, either [Terraform HCL](https://www.terraform.io/language/syntax/configuration) or [AWS CloudFormation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/Welcome.html). The IAM permissions are identical in both, so pick the format you are most comfortable working with.
The steps follow to **download the IaC template**.
1. In the [Snyk Web UI](https://app.snyk.io), navigate to **Integrations** > **Cloud platforms**.
2. Select **AWS**.
3. In the **Add AWS Environment** modal, select the **Terraform** button to download a `snyk-permissions-aws.tf` file or **CloudFormation** to download a `snyk-permissions-aws.yml` file:
The Add AWS Environment modal
You can now proceed to [Step 2: Create the Snyk IAM role (Web UI)](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/cloud-platform-integrations/aws-integration/aws-integration-web-ui/step-2-create-the-snyk-iam-role.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/cloud-platform-integrations/aws-integration/aws-integration-web-ui/step-1-download-iam-role-iac-template-web-ui.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
