Managing multiple AWS Console logins

Question

I have several AWS Console logins provided by various unrelated clients. If i'm working on multiple clients at once this means essentially using multiple browsers and their private mode to keep them all open.

Does anybody have a more elegant solution to this? They are for different clients so AWS Organisations is not an option.

Thanks!

Answer 1

What you are doing is the correct way of doing it, though I would suggest you another way.

Login chrome with separate Gmail account create a separate user for browser or Mozilla pocket account you can now use them to open multiple aws account

Answer 2

Yes!

The AWS Management Console allows you to switch roles.

• Create a role in each account you would like to use
• Establish a trust relationship between that role and your normal IAM User
• In the management console, supply the ARN of the role you'd like to switch to
• Switch to it!

However, I suspect that you can't have multiple tabs open to different roles -- but it makes it much easier to switch in and out of different roles without having to login to each one.

See: Switching to a Role (Console) - AWS Identity and Access Management

Answer 3

Each and every console account you create or login is eligible to have 3 or more accounts merged with it. So in complete you can have more accounts handled with the same user but different login credentials.

Hope my answer might help you in some way.

All the best..

Answer 4

You can even check with AWS organization, which helps you in creating additional 3 root accounts under same billing details

Answer 5

we are using aws extend switch roles chrome extension at my work place. it's very handy.

It is useful when assuming roles especially cross accounts.

In your case, its totally unrelated accounts from unrelated clients. I guess it would be easier to use separate chrome profiles one per client. Or you can use Ghost Browser, it's a chromium based browser allows to create work spaces, you can even have different sessions in different tabs.

hope this helps.
