= Creating an AWS IAM role for the controller by using the Cloud Credential Operator utility
[role="_abstract"]
To enable the {aws-short} Load Balancer Controller to interact with subnets and VPCs, create an IAM role by using the Cloud Credential Operator utility (`ccoctl`). This utility ensures the controller has the specific permissions required to manage network resources within the cluster.
.Prerequisites
* You must extract and prepare the `ccoctl` binary.
.Procedure
. Download the `CredentialsRequest` custom resource (CR) and store it in a directory by running the following command:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ curl --create-dirs -o <credentials_requests_dir>/controller.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/aws-load-balancer-operator/main/hack/controller/controller-credentials-request.yaml
----
. Use the `ccoctl` utility to create an {aws-short} IAM role by running the following command:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ ccoctl aws create-iam-roles \
--name <name> \
--region=<aws_region> \
--credentials-requests-dir=<credentials_requests_dir> \
--identity-provider-arn <oidc_arn>
----
+
.Example output
[source,terminal]
----
2023/09/12 11:38:57 Role arn:aws:iam::777777777777:role/<name>-aws-load-balancer-operator-aws-load-balancer-controller created
2023/09/12 11:38:57 Saved credentials configuration to: /home/user/<credentials_requests_dir>/manifests/aws-load-balancer-operator-aws-load-balancer-controller-credentials.yaml
2023/09/12 11:38:58 Updated Role policy for Role <name>-aws-load-balancer-operator-aws-load-balancer-controller created
----
+
where:
+
`<name>`:: Specifies the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for an {aws-short} IAM role that was created for the {aws-short} Load Balancer Controller, such as `arn:aws:iam::777777777777:role/<name>-aws-load-balancer-operator-aws-load-balancer-controller`.
