# AWS Systems Manager Parameters Store

You can integrate Prisma Cloud with AWS Systems Manager Parameters Store. First configure Prisma Cloud to access the Parameters Store, then create rules to inject the relevant secrets into the relevant containers.

**Prerequisites:**

* The service account Prisma Cloud uses to access the Parameters Store must have the following permissions. These permissions are part of pre-existing policy named AmazonSSMReadOnlyAccess. For more information, see [Configure User Access for Systems Manager](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/sysman-access-user.html).
  * ssm:Get\*
  * ssm:List\*
* You have [created a secret](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/sysman-paramstore-console.html) in your Parameters Store. Prisma Cloud supports all parameter types. Note, however, that StringList is injected "as-is". For example, if the value you specify for parameter of type StringList is `twistlock,test,value`, then the injected environment variable would look like this:

  ```
  ENV_VAR=twistlock,test,value
  ```

1. Open Prisma Cloud Console.
2. Integrate Prisma Cloud with the store.
   1. Go to **Manage > Authentication > Secrets**, and click **Add store**.
   2. Enter a name for the store. This name is used when you create rules to inject secrets into specific containers.
   3. For **Type**, select **AWS Systems Manager Parameters Store**.
   4. Fill out the rest of the form, specifying how to connect to the store.
   5. Click **Add**.

      After clicking **Add**, Prisma Cloud tries conecting to your store. If it is successful, the dialog closes, and an entry is added to the table. Otherwise, any connection errors are displayed directly in the configuration dialog.

      Next, [inject a secret into a container](/admin-guide/33/secrets/inject-secrets.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.prismacloud.io/admin-guide/33/secrets/secrets-stores/aws-systems-manager-parameters-store.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
