Federated User

Yields temporary AWS security credentials for a federated user with the Atlassian user name and an optional IAM policy (if absent, AWS applies a default)

In order to use the Federated User Principal Type, you need to Grant an IAM Group Permission to Create Temporary Credentials!

A few services aren't currently supported by Federated User - use Account (IAM User) for these instead:

  • AWS CloudFormation
  • Amazon Elastic MapReduce
  • AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Account (IAM User)

Yields temporary AWS security credentials for the selected IAM user (recommended) or AWS account (disadvised) itself

Account (IAM User) does not allow to specify IAM policies or distinguish users - use Federated User for these features instead.
