Identity Federation for AWS is mainly a system integration and API Add-on, but provides a user visible productivity feature as well, namely Single Sign-On (SSO) to the AWS Management Console. This feature comes in two variations:
On this page:
AWS Management Console Login Menu
Users will be able to use a Single Sign-on (SSO) menu link for each AWS Connector they have access to. These links will appear automatically within JIRA and require no further configuration.
AWS Management Console Login Gadget
Users will be able to use the AWS Management Console Login Gadget, exposing any number of configured Single Sign-on (SSO) links for those AWS Connector they have access to. They can use this Gadget outside of JIRA (e.g. on Confluence pages) and configure it to show all or a desired subset of the available links.
