Code Block
languagejs
linenumberstrue
collapsetrue
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Action": [
                "ssm:StartAutomationExecution"
            ],
            "Resource": "*",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Sid": "SystemsManagerStartAutomationExecution"
        }
    ]
}
