ECS 3.6.2 Data Access Guide

Secure Token Service

The Security Token Service (STS) enables you to request temporary credentials, for IAM users or for other users that are externally authenticated (SAML).

ECS IAM supports the following two STS APIs:

  • AssumeRole - Provides a way for a trusted IAM user to assume a role and get temporary credentials for accessing ECS S3 and IAM resources.
    NOTE: The AssumeRole API requires the standard AWS S3 authentication header for an IAM user to get authenticated.
  • AssumeRoleWithSAML - Provides a way for an external user to assume a role and get temporary credentials using SAML assertions generated by a trusted external identity provider.
NOTE: The temporary credentials from the AssumeRole and AssumeRoleWithSAML APIs consist of an access key ID, secret access key, and a session token. These temporary credentials cannot be revoked.
