## Set permissions for your workspace

{{% notice info %}}
Cloud9 normally manages IAM credentials dynamically. This isn't currently compatible with
the EKS IAM authentication, so we will disable it and rely on the IAM role attached to the Cloud9 instanceinstead.

1. Click the gear icon (in top right corner),
   and select **AWS SETTINGS**. Turn off **AWS managed temporary credentials** and close the Preferences tab.
