AWS cross account access (switch role)

#aws #iam #iamrole

In this tutorial we will switch role delegated to access a resources in different AWS accounts. You share resources in one account with users in a different account. By setting up cross-account access in this way, you don't have to create individual IAM users in each account.

Access AWS console
Open Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Click "Roles" on left side menu

Select the AWS account
Since it is a cross account access, give the the Account ID to which you want to grant access to your resources

Next is to give the permission policies, type the policy you want to attach in the search bar.

Add the Role name, and an option description. Then create the role

Finally role can be used in cross account by clicking on switch role in the console

Role can be switched by inputting the Account ID, Role name.
