Summary

Closes #618.

Documents the IAM permissions required for EMAIL_TRANSPORT=ses, based on Directus''s current Nodemailer + AWS SES v2 integration:

  • ses:SendRawEmail on the verified EMAIL_FROM identity
  • health-check note for Nodemailer''s verify() test send from invalid@invalid (or disable via EMAIL_VERIFY_SETUP=false)

Notes

ses:GetAccount from the original report is not documented here — current Nodemailer verify uses SendEmailCommand with invalid@invalid, not GetAccount.
