I have been working in AWS for the last 2 years, but I am not clear about assume role concept. this video made it very clear.. thank you!

[harshitsen]

One of the best videos about AssumeRole API.

[Pratik]

Great explanation. I was confused about IAM assume role from long time. And you cleared all doubts in one short video. Thanks!

[Richardrocks]

This video is a gem, Explaining with examples and demonstrating the whole flow practically from top to bottom. It's crystal Clear ❣

I've been trying to understand this topic(which I believe is a complicated one) for some time already, I've seen a lot of videos and read the official documentation, and I've got some understanding about it but not as detailed as this video. Thank you very much. Nice explanation.

I was quickly trying to grasp the AWS IAM concepts related to assume role and this video was super helpful. Thanks.

Nicely explained how Assume role works with examples. Great job in putting together a step-by-step implementation... thank you!

[aayush]

Nice explaination i was confused with the documentation

[kalidindiprashanth]

Point to point explained. This is the best content w.r.t AssumeRole. Thank you. If possible can you also make video on "IAM:PassRole'

[vinodhvp]

Very nice example..Explained everything with a easy to understand code..Thank You! I have a question..Once a user assume a Role, is there a way to dump the role after usage? Because, what I understand is that once a user assumes a role, the user has to give up all existing permissions. So is there a way to assume a role temporarily and then dump it and continue with existing access/roles??

Great Explanation, Thanks a lot for taking your time and sharing the knowledge with community .
Possible can you add code snippet like after assume the role how we can connect to s3 and upload file like that

[ssn]

Great video. Could you please share me the code for boto3 sdk instead of java?

[vsingh-]

Great video!! What would you do to assume role in a springboot app running inside a fargate container, for example to upload document to S3 bucket. I am hoping that there will no need for IAm user and hence no secret/key since there will be a AWS role which fargate assumes. What do you think? Do you have code sample for that?

[venkateshpolisetty]

Hey. Nice Explaination. I have a question. I am the admin user in the aws account. I don't have any access key and secret key. I want to access s3 using temporary credentials. is it possible?

[ramkumarch]

You mentioned that services also can assume the role, but you could not present that in the video, can you share the video or any relevant document on how services can assume the role ?

[asimsalimli]

Thanks for the time spend and great explanation. However I have a question. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think one step is missing. Shouldn't we create another policy for the Role R1 itself? To allow assume this role by other accounts? I think this policy document should be created and attached to the role itself? {
"Version":"2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect":"Allow",
"Principal":{
"AWS": [

]
},
"Action":"sts:AssumeRole",
"Condition":{}
}
]
}

how to assume cross account roles to s3?

[vinodreddy]
