Read full descriptionHide full description
Safari extension to allow you to quickly and easily switch AWS IAM role when using the AWS Console. The built-in role history in the AWS Console only stores the last 5 roles however many users find they have many more roles that they need regular access to. This extension for Safari works across both MacOS and iOS Safari and allows you to list all of your roles in it's configuration which can then be selected from the extension's drop-down in the browser. Credit for the creation and further development of the extension goes to Tilfin Ltd. The port to Safari is maintained by SourceCube Ltd. ## Configuration ## Left-click the extension, click "Configure", enter your configuration in the text box, and click "Save". You can write the configuration in INI format similar to `~/.aws/config` or `~/.aws/credentials`. ## Simple Configuration ## The simplest configuration is for multiple target roles when you always intend to show the whole list. Target roles can be expressed with a `role_arn` or with both `aws_account_id` and `role_name`. Optional parameters: * `color` - The RGB hex value (without the prefix '#') for the color of the header bottom border and around the current profile. * `region` - Changing the region whenever switching the role if this parameter is specified. * `image` - The uri of an image to use on top of any color attribute supplied. The color and image are not mutually exclusive.
