What is a bit unclear to me is how IdC works with an external IdP. For security reasons, we absolutely do NOT use IAM users. We set up only role access as defined in IAM and that's tied to our IdP. So, when I user logs in, it hits our IdP for authentication, checks Active Directory for the role they are going to assume and then logs them into the console (trusted relationship is provided when the role is set up). We still want to use role-based, temporary access (NOT IAM accounts). Are we forced by IdC to IAM user accounts or can we still federate using IAM roles?
