# Amazon SES Mail

## Amazon SES Mail Driver Settings

Simple Email Service (SES) is a cost-effective, flexible, and scalable email service that enables developers to send mail from any application. A widely used service in this category is [Amazon Simple Email Service](https://aws.amazon.com/ses/?nc1=h_ls).

## Configure Amazon SES Mailer Driver Settings

**Permissions**

Your user account or group membership must have the "Settings: Update Settings" permission to edit email server settings unless your user account has the **Make this user a Super Admin** setting selected.

See the [Settings](/v1/docs/permission-descriptions-for-users-and-groups#settings) permissions or ask your Administrator for assistance.

To configure an Amazon SES email server, the following information is needed:

- Amazon access key ID
- Amazon secret access key
- Amazon default region

To generate or locate your Amazon access key ID and secret access key, refer to [Understanding and getting your AWS credentials](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-sec-cred-types.html).
