AWS Assume Role

If you have multiple AWS accounts, you can gain additional permission by authorizing it to a different AWS account via IAM. Here’s the assume role documentation from AWS. And here are some documentation if you need to grant someone to switch accounts. If you are going to be using the AWS CLI, you will need to run “aws configure” to setup multiple profiles.
