Load Balancer: no rule option?

Question

Hi guys,

I can't seem to find where to create a rule for a load balancer. According to the [docs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/application/listener-update-rules.html#add-rule) there should be a link "View/edit rules" on the balancer listener, but it's not there.

I tried creating various types of load balancers and target groups, but I never saw a way to add rules anywhere. Any idea?

Hello,

You have created Network Load Balancer, create/edit rule options are available only for Application Load balancer .  Please refer this [doc](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/application/listener-update-rules.html)

Answer

Hello,

This is likely IAM permissions issue, see below from the [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/userguide/load-balancer-authentication-access-control.html). Once the permissions issue is sorted you should see 'View/edit rules' under 'Default Action' column.

****************

By default, IAM users don't have permission to create, view, or modify AWS resources. To allow an IAM user to access resources such as a load balancer, and to perform tasks, you:

* Create an IAM policy that grants the IAM user permission to use the specific resources and API actions they need.
* Attach the policy to the IAM user or the group that the IAM user belongs to.

When you attach a policy to a user or group of users, it allows or denies the users permission to perform the specified tasks on the specified resources.

**Edit**:

Please note NLB and GWLB do not have the 'View/edit rules' option, it is only supported with ALB.

Thank you for your answer @Tushar_J! I'm logged in with the root user though, isn't it supposed to have unrestricted access to everything?
