How to log in to the AWS console

  1. Visit https://myapps.microsoft.com/. Log in using your c_ account, e.g. [email protected].

  2. You should see a list of apps. Select the app named "AWS - IAM Identity Center".

    If you can't see that app, it means you don't have access to our AWS accounts. Talk to a/another developer.

    The AWS IAM identity center app on the my apps dashboard.

  3. You should be taken to the AWS IAM Identity center login page. Select the account called "Digital Engagement Platform", and the "Platform-Dev" role.

  4. You should be taken to the AWS console.

  5. Your default role can't do anything; it can only assume specific roles in other accounts. To assume a role, click the menu in the top right-hand corner, and click "Switch Role".

    The same homepage as previously, but now with a dropdown menu coming from the top right-hand corner. At the bottom are two buttons: 'Switch role' and 'Sign out'.

  6. You should be taken to a "Switch Role" screen. Enter the account ID and name of the role you want to assume, then click "Switch Role".

    A 'Switch Role' form with three fields: Account, Role, and Display Name. There's also a colour picker and a 'Switch Role' button.

Some developers use the AWS Extend Switch Roles extension in Google Chrome, which adds a list of all our roles to the top right-hand menu. We have a config file you can use with the extension.
