AWS Granted

2024-08-16 - [aws, tools]


I was trying to find an alternative to aws-sso-creds-helper since it is archived/deprecated.

The "official" AWS solution is not great either (aws sso login --profile <profile_name>).

My coworkers are using granted.

The installation was simple:

brew tap common-fate/granted
brew install granted

The configuration was all auto generated:

granted sso generate --sso-region ap-southeast-2 https://example.awsapps.com/start

And to use is basically assume <role>. I can even add it to my existing scripts.

We can also export it to .env file:

assume role-a --env

Plus, we can access different profiles in different browser tabs:

assume -c <role>

Super useful, highly recommended.
