description: >-
  Amazon Rekognition authorizes requests with AWS Identity and Access Management
  (IAM). Every call must be signed with AWS Signature Version 4 (SigV4) using the
  caller's access key / temporary credentials; the OpenAPI models this as an
  apiKey scheme on the Authorization header. Fine-grained authorization is
  controlled by IAM policies (e.g. AmazonRekognitionFullAccess,
  AmazonRekognitionReadOnlyAccess) and rekognition:* actions.
