How would you grant access to a user for local usage of X-Ray?
For local development and testing, create an IAM user with read and write permissions. Generate access keys for the user and store them in the standard AWS SDK location. You can use these credentials with the X-Ray daemon, the AWS CLI, and the AWS SDK.
