    1.  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

    another
    other add-

    ons like Tasks for 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.

    Note
    titleRequired IAM Permissions
    In order to use the Federated User or Assume Role principal types, you need to Grant an IAM Group Permission to Create Temporary Credentials! See the Principal Types table above for details.

    Accounts are added/edited/deleted inline while creating/editing an AWS Connector. All fields are required, you can select an arbitrary name according to your needs.

    Info
    Editing an existing account will change it for all AWS Connectors using it.
