Managing multiple AWS Console logins

Question

I have several AWS Console logins provided by various unrelated clients. If i'm working on multiple clients at once this means essentially using multiple browsers and their private mode to keep them all open.

Does anybody have a more elegant solution to this? They are for different clients so AWS Organisations is not an option.

Thanks!

Yes!

The AWS Management Console allows you to switch roles.

• Create a role in each account you would like to use
• Establish a trust relationship between that role and your normal IAM User
• In the management console, supply the ARN of the role you'd like to switch to
• Switch to it!

However, I suspect that you can't have multiple tabs open to different roles -- but it makes it much easier to switch in and out of different roles without having to login to each one.
