Create/Edit Connector

To configure an AWS Connector:

  1. Navigate to the Identity Federation for AWS configuration.
  2. Click Edit for an existing AWS Connector, or click Create Connector to create a new one.


Complete the following settings:

Account (IAM User) Select the long-term AWS security credentials to derive temporary AWS security credentials from - see also add/edit accounts below.
Connector Name

Specify a custom name to identify this connector.

Principal Type

Select one of the supported principal types:

Info
titleCapabilities and Restrictions

Each principal type has different capabilities and restrictions regarding credential lifetime, Single Sign-On (SSO) to the AWS Management Console, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and calling the IAM and STS APIs in turn, see Comparing Features of AWS STS APIs for details.

IAM Policy(Conditional) Specify an IAM Policy (supported for principal types Federated User and Assume Role)
  • (lightbulb) Clicking on 'IAM Policy Examples' allows you to select from a few example policies to ease getting started (just click one to copy it to the policy field) - links to the AWS Policy Generator and the IAM Policy Simulator are also provided.
Maximum Duration

(Optional) Set the maximum number of seconds temporary credentials based on this connector can be valid - leave empty to use AWS default values

Groups
(Optional) Grant the permission to use this Connector to one or more of your JIRA or Bamboo groups:

Info

Administrators always have permission to use all Connectors.

  1. click into the selection box to search for groups
    • (info) Bamboo < 5.6 and JIRA < 6.2 feature a different user interface for group selection still, see 
      Jira Legacy

       for details.

  2. start typing to narrow down the selection

    Info
    titlePerformance with more than 100 groups

    If there are more than 100 groups, you need to type at least one character to make all matching groups appear.

    (warning) Depending on the number of groups and naming scheme paired with browser and system performance, frequently used characters like 'e' might still yield slightly sluggish behavior - typing quickly should circumvent such sluggishness, if any!

  3. select each desired group

    • (warning) all changes persist on save of the connector only

Scope(Optional) Select System Scope to allow usage of this AWS Connector from elevated code without an active user session (e.g. by other add-ons like Tasks for AWS and Automation with AWS).


Add/Edit Account

In order to create AWS Connectors, you need to add at least one account resp. IAM User, which provides the required long-term AWS security credentials used to derive temporary AWS security credentials for your Atlassian users, see Create individual IAM users for getting started with this approach.

Info
titleRequired IAM Permissions
The Federated User and Assume Role principal types require Permissions to Create Temporary Credentials - see the Principal Types table above for details.

To configure an Account (IAM User):

  1. Navigate to the Identity Federation for AWS configuration.
  2. Click Edit for an existing AWS Connector, or click Create Connector to create a new one.
  3. Click Edit for an existing Account (IAM User), or click Add Account to create a new one.
