    Role Permissions

    When you create your first instance, you are prompted to authorize Simple Log Service to assume the AliyunLogETLRole. This Alibaba Cloud system role is required to read data from a source Logstore or Metricstore.

    Only an Alibaba Cloud account can grant this authorization. For more information, see Access data by using a default role.
