AWS Console Authentication

[VIDEO] How to enter to any of your Accounts.

As described in the Architecture Overview. You'll have to enter the 'security' account, then, assume the role on the account you want. The easiest way to do this is by using the Sleakops Dashboard:

First, use the AWS Login button:

USER-aws-login

This will open the AWS login form. The Account ID field should be automatically filled with the 'security' account ID. If this doesn't happen, it might be because another service is attempting to fill the fields.

USER-aws-security-login

Once logged into the 'security' account, it will appear as shown in the following image:

USER-aws-console-initial

Now, in the AWS console, you need to return to the SleakOps dashboard, select 'Get Access' and use the drawer, on it, select the account you want to log in to.

USER-get-accessUSER-account-switcher

This will prompt a new AWS tab to switch the role from your 'security' Account into the account you've selected, you'll leave the 'security account' and enter the selected one.

If you're in 'security' or another account you can directly use the account switchers, AWS understands that you are already inside the 'security' account.

For more information about this process, you can read its AWS documentation .
