Advantages of an assume role

Advantages of an assume role

You can assume an IAM user role and request temporary security credentials to access the Amazon S3 resources.
An assume role offers the following advantages:
Temporary credentials
You can use an assume role and generate temporary security credentials to access the Amazon S3 resources.
Enhanced security
You can access Amazon S3 resources by using temporary session credentials. You can request the temporary credentials from the AWS Security Token Service (STS). The process of fetching temporary credentials is secure and transparent.
User Configurations
You have the option to specify an appropriate session time for the credentials in the Amazon S3 and Amazon Redshift connectors. AWS STS returns the temporary credentials with a default session time. The credentials expire after crossing the time limit.
