# Using service-linked roles for Elastic Beanstalk

AWS Elastic Beanstalk uses AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)[ service-linked roles](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_terms-and-concepts.html#iam-term-service-linked-role). A service-linked role is a unique type of IAM role that is linked directly to Elastic Beanstalk. Service-linked roles are predefined by Elastic Beanstalk and include all the permissions that the service requires to call other AWS services on your behalf. 
Elastic Beanstalk defines a few types of service-linked roles:
+ *Monitoring service-linked role* – Allows Elastic Beanstalk to monitor the health of running environments and publish health event notifications.
+ *Maintenance service-linked role* – Allows Elastic Beanstalk to perform regular maintenance activities for your running environments.
+ *Managed-updates service-linked role* – Allows Elastic Beanstalk to perform scheduled platform updates of your running environments.
