             AWS Security Token Service 
             <para>
             The AWS Security Token Service (STS) is a web service that enables you to request
             temporary, limited-privilege credentials for AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
             users or for users that you authenticate (federated users). This guide provides descriptions
             of the STS API. For more detailed information about using this service, go to <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp.html">Temporary
             Security Credentials</a>. 
             </para>
              <note> 
             <para>
              As an alternative to using the API, you can use one of the AWS SDKs, which consist
             of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms (Java,
             Ruby, .NET, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide a convenient way to create programmatic
             access to STS. For example, the SDKs take care of cryptographically signing requests,
             managing errors, and retrying requests automatically. For information about the AWS
             SDKs, including how to download and install them, see the <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/tools/">Tools
             for Amazon Web Services page</a>.

             STS supports AWS CloudTrail, which is a service that records AWS calls for your AWS
             account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. By using information collected
             by CloudTrail, you can determine what requests were successfully made to STS, who
             made the request, when it was made, and so on. To learn more about CloudTrail, including
             how to turn it on and find your log files, see the <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/what_is_cloud_trail_top_level.html">AWS

            Returns a set of temporary security credentials (consisting of an access key ID, a
            secret access key, and a security token) that you can use to access AWS resources
            that you might not normally have access to. Typically, you use <code>AssumeRole</code>
            for cross-account access or federation. For a comparison of <code>AssumeRole</code>
            with the other APIs that produce temporary credentials, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_request.html">Requesting
            Temporary Security Credentials</a> and <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_request.html#stsapi_comparison">Comparing
            the AWS STS APIs</a> in the <i>IAM User Guide</i>.
            
             
            <para>
             <b>Important:</b> You cannot call <code>AssumeRole</code> by using AWS root account
            credentials; access is denied. You must use credentials for an IAM user or an IAM
            role to call <code>AssumeRole</code>. 
            </para>
             
            <para>
            For cross-account access, imagine that you own multiple accounts and need to access
            resources in each account. You could create long-term credentials in each account
            to access those resources. However, managing all those credentials and remembering
            which one can access which account can be time consuming. Instead, you can create
            one set of long-term credentials in one account and then use temporary security credentials
            to access all the other accounts by assuming roles in those accounts. For more information
            about roles, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/roles-toplevel.html">IAM
            Roles (Delegation and Federation)</a> in the <i>IAM User Guide</i>. 
            </para>
             
            <para>
            For federation, you can, for example, grant single sign-on access to the AWS Management
            Console. If you already have an identity and authentication system in your corporate
            network, you don't have to recreate user identities in AWS in order to grant those
            user identities access to AWS. Instead, after a user has been authenticated, you call
            <code>AssumeRole</code> (and specify the role with the appropriate permissions) to
            get temporary security credentials for that user. With those temporary security credentials,
            you construct a sign-in URL that users can use to access the console. For more information,
            see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp.html#sts-introduction">Common
            Scenarios for Temporary Credentials</a> in the <i>IAM User Guide</i>.
            </para>
             
            <para>
            By default, the temporary security credentials created by <code>AssumeRole</code>
            last for one hour. However, you can use the optional <code>DurationSeconds</code>
            parameter to specify the duration of your session. You can provide a value from 900
            seconds (15 minutes) up to the maximum session duration setting for the role. This
            setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours. To learn how to view the maximum
            value for your role, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use.html#id_roles_use_view-role-max-session">View
            the Maximum Session Duration Setting for a Role</a> in the <i>IAM User Guide</i>.
            The maximum session duration limit applies when you use the <code>AssumeRole*</code>
            API operations or the <code>assume-role*</code> CLI operations but does not apply
            when you use those operations to create a console URL. For more information, see <a
            href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use.html">Using IAM
            Roles</a> in the <i>IAM User Guide</i>.

            <para>
            The temporary security credentials created by <code>AssumeRole</code> can be used
            to make API calls to any AWS service with the following exception: you cannot call
            the STS service's <code>GetFederationToken</code> or <code>GetSessionToken</code>
            APIs.
            </para>
             
            <para>
            Optionally, you can pass an IAM access policy to this operation. If you choose not
            to pass a policy, the temporary security credentials that are returned by the operation
            have the permissions that are defined in the access policy of the role that is being
            assumed. If you pass a policy to this operation, the temporary security credentials
            that are returned by the operation have the permissions that are allowed by both the
            access policy of the role that is being assumed, <i> <b>and</b> </i> the policy that
            you pass. This gives you a way to further restrict the permissions for the resulting
            temporary security credentials. You cannot use the passed policy to grant permissions
            that are in excess of those allowed by the access policy of the role that is being
            assumed. For more information, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_control-access_assumerole.html">Permissions
            for AssumeRole, AssumeRoleWithSAML, and AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity</a> in the <i>IAM

            <para>
            To assume a role, your AWS account must be trusted by the role. The trust relationship
            is defined in the role's trust policy when the role is created. That trust policy
            states which accounts are allowed to delegate access to this account's role. 
            </para>
             
            <para>
            The user who wants to access the role must also have permissions delegated from the
            role's administrator. If the user is in a different account than the role, then the
            user's administrator must attach a policy that allows the user to call AssumeRole
            on the ARN of the role in the other account. If the user is in the same account as
            the role, then you can either attach a policy to the user (identical to the previous
            different account user), or you can add the user as a principal directly in the role's
            trust policy. In this case, the trust policy acts as the only resource-based policy
            in IAM, and users in the same account as the role do not need explicit permission
            to assume the role. For more information about trust policies and resource-based policies,
            see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html">IAM
            Policies</a> in the <i>IAM User Guide</i>.

            <para>
            You can optionally include multi-factor authentication (MFA) information when you
            call <code>AssumeRole</code>. This is useful for cross-account scenarios in which
            you want to make sure that the user who is assuming the role has been authenticated
            using an AWS MFA device. In that scenario, the trust policy of the role being assumed
            includes a condition that tests for MFA authentication; if the caller does not include
            valid MFA information, the request to assume the role is denied. The condition in
            a trust policy that tests for MFA authentication might look like the following example.

            To use MFA with <code>AssumeRole</code>, you pass values for the <code>SerialNumber</code>
            and <code>TokenCode</code> parameters. The <code>SerialNumber</code> value identifies
            the user's hardware or virtual MFA device. The <code>TokenCode</code> is the time-based
            one-time password (TOTP) that the MFA devices produces.

            By default, the temporary security credentials created by <code>AssumeRoleWithSAML</code>
            last for one hour. However, you can use the optional <code>DurationSeconds</code>
            parameter to specify the duration of your session. Your role session lasts for the
            duration that you specify, or until the time specified in the SAML authentication
            response's <code>SessionNotOnOrAfter</code> value, whichever is shorter. You can provide
            a <code>DurationSeconds</code> value from 900 seconds (15 minutes) up to the maximum
            session duration setting for the role. This setting can have a value from 1 hour to
            12 hours. To learn how to view the maximum value for your role, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use.html#id_roles_use_view-role-max-session">View
            the Maximum Session Duration Setting for a Role</a> in the <i>IAM User Guide</i>.
            The maximum session duration limit applies when you use the <code>AssumeRole*</code>
            API operations or the <code>assume-role*</code> CLI operations but does not apply
            when you use those operations to create a console URL. For more information, see <a

            Optionally, you can pass an IAM access policy to this operation. If you choose not
            to pass a policy, the temporary security credentials that are returned by the operation
            have the permissions that are defined in the access policy of the role that is being
            assumed. If you pass a policy to this operation, the temporary security credentials
            that are returned by the operation have the permissions that are allowed by the intersection
            of both the access policy of the role that is being assumed, <i> <b>and</b> </i> the
            policy that you pass. This means that both policies must grant the permission for
            the action to be allowed. This gives you a way to further restrict the permissions
            for the resulting temporary security credentials. You cannot use the passed policy
            to grant permissions that are in excess of those allowed by the access policy of the
            role that is being assumed. For more information, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_control-access_assumerole.html">Permissions

            Before your application can call <code>AssumeRoleWithSAML</code>, you must configure
            your SAML identity provider (IdP) to issue the claims required by AWS. Additionally,
            you must use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to create a SAML provider entity
            in your AWS account that represents your identity provider, and create an IAM role
            that specifies this SAML provider in its trust policy.

            Calling <code>AssumeRoleWithSAML</code> does not require the use of AWS security credentials.

            assertion. We recommend that you use a NameIDType that is not associated with any

            Calling <code>AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity</code> does not require the use of AWS security
            credentials. Therefore, you can distribute an application (for example, on mobile
            devices) that requests temporary security credentials without including long-term
            AWS credentials in the application, and without deploying server-based proxy services
            that use long-term AWS credentials. Instead, the identity of the caller is validated
            by using a token from the web identity provider. For a comparison of <code>AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity</code>
            with the other APIs that produce temporary credentials, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_request.html">Requesting

            The temporary security credentials returned by this API consist of an access key ID,

            By default, the temporary security credentials created by <code>AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity</code>
            last for one hour. However, you can use the optional <code>DurationSeconds</code>
            parameter to specify the duration of your session. You can provide a value from 900
            seconds (15 minutes) up to the maximum session duration setting for the role. This
            setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours. To learn how to view the maximum

            Before your application can call <code>AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity</code>, you must
            have an identity token from a supported identity provider and create a role that the
            application can assume. The role that your application assumes must trust the identity
            provider that is associated with the identity token. In other words, the identity
            provider must be specified in the role's trust policy.

            <para>
            For example, if a user is not authorized to perform an action that he or she has requested,
            the request returns a <code>Client.UnauthorizedOperation</code> response (an HTTP
            403 response). Some AWS actions additionally return an encoded message that can provide
            details about this authorization failure. 
            </para>

            <para>
            Only certain AWS actions return an encoded authorization message. The documentation

            action using the long-term security credentials of an IAM user, this call is appropriate
            in contexts where those credentials can be safely stored, usually in a server-based

            <para>
            The passed policy is attached to the temporary security credentials that result from
            the <code>GetFederationToken</code> API call--that is, to the <i>federated user</i>.
            When the federated user makes an AWS request, AWS evaluates the policy attached to
            the federated user in combination with the policy or policies attached to the IAM
            user whose credentials were used to call <code>GetFederationToken</code>. AWS allows
            the federated user's request only when both the federated user <i> <b>and</b> </i>
            the IAM user are explicitly allowed to perform the requested action. The passed policy
            cannot grant more permissions than those that are defined in the IAM user policy.
            </para>
             
            <para>
            A typical use case is that the permissions of the IAM user whose credentials are used
            to call <code>GetFederationToken</code> are designed to allow access to all the actions
            and resources that any federated user will need. Then, for individual users, you pass
            a policy to the operation that scopes down the permissions to a level that's appropriate
            to that individual user, using a policy that allows only a subset of permissions that
            are granted to the IAM user. 
            </para>
             
            <para>
            If you do not pass a policy, the resulting temporary security credentials have no
            effective permissions. The only exception is when the temporary security credentials
            are used to access a resource that has a resource-based policy that specifically allows
            the federated user to access the resource.

             Ruby, .NET, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide a convenient way to create programmatic
             access to STS. For example, the SDKs take care of cryptographically signing requests,
             managing errors, and retrying requests automatically. For information about the AWS
             SDKs, including how to download and install them, see the <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/tools/">Tools

            For cross-account access, imagine that you own multiple accounts and need to access
            resources in each account. You could create long-term credentials in each account
            to access those resources. However, managing all those credentials and remembering
            which one can access which account can be time consuming. Instead, you can create
            one set of long-term credentials in one account and then use temporary security credentials
            to access all the other accounts by assuming roles in those accounts. For more information

            For federation, you can, for example, grant single sign-on access to the AWS Management
            Console. If you already have an identity and authentication system in your corporate
            network, you don't have to recreate user identities in AWS in order to grant those
            user identities access to AWS. Instead, after a user has been authenticated, you call
            <code>AssumeRole</code> (and specify the role with the appropriate permissions) to
            get temporary security credentials for that user. With those temporary security credentials,
            you construct a sign-in URL that users can use to access the console. For more information,

            By default, the temporary security credentials created by <code>AssumeRole</code>
            last for one hour. However, you can use the optional <code>DurationSeconds</code>
            parameter to specify the duration of your session. You can provide a value from 900
            seconds (15 minutes) up to the maximum session duration setting for the role. This
            setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours. To learn how to view the maximum

            Optionally, you can pass an IAM access policy to this operation. If you choose not
            to pass a policy, the temporary security credentials that are returned by the operation
            have the permissions that are defined in the access policy of the role that is being
            assumed. If you pass a policy to this operation, the temporary security credentials
            that are returned by the operation have the permissions that are allowed by both the
            access policy of the role that is being assumed, <i> <b>and</b> </i> the policy that
            you pass. This gives you a way to further restrict the permissions for the resulting
            temporary security credentials. You cannot use the passed policy to grant permissions
            that are in excess of those allowed by the access policy of the role that is being
            assumed. For more information, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_control-access_assumerole.html">Permissions

            To assume a role, your AWS account must be trusted by the role. The trust relationship
            is defined in the role's trust policy when the role is created. That trust policy
            states which accounts are allowed to delegate access to this account's role.

            <para>
            The user who wants to access the role must also have permissions delegated from the
            role's administrator. If the user is in a different account than the role, then the
            user's administrator must attach a policy that allows the user to call AssumeRole
            on the ARN of the role in the other account. If the user is in the same account as
            the role, then you can either attach a policy to the user (identical to the previous
            different account user), or you can add the user as a principal directly in the role's
            trust policy. In this case, the trust policy acts as the only resource-based policy
            in IAM, and users in the same account as the role do not need explicit permission
            to assume the role. For more information about trust policies and resource-based policies,

            You can optionally include multi-factor authentication (MFA) information when you
            call <code>AssumeRole</code>. This is useful for cross-account scenarios in which
            you want to make sure that the user who is assuming the role has been authenticated
            using an AWS MFA device. In that scenario, the trust policy of the role being assumed
            includes a condition that tests for MFA authentication; if the caller does not include
            valid MFA information, the request to assume the role is denied. The condition in
            a trust policy that tests for MFA authentication might look like the following example.

            Calling <code>AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity</code> does not require the use of AWS security
            credentials. Therefore, you can distribute an application (for example, on mobile
            devices) that requests temporary security credentials without including long-term
            AWS credentials in the application, and without deploying server-based proxy services
            that use long-term AWS credentials. Instead, the identity of the caller is validated
            by using a token from the web identity provider. For a comparison of <code>AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity</code>
            with the other APIs that produce temporary credentials, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_request.html">Requesting
            Temporary Security Credentials</a> and <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_request.html#stsapi_comparison">Comparing

            <para>
            The temporary security credentials returned by this API consist of an access key ID,
            a secret access key, and a security token. Applications can use these temporary security
            credentials to sign calls to AWS service APIs.
            </para>
             
            <para>
            By default, the temporary security credentials created by <code>AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity</code>
            last for one hour. However, you can use the optional <code>DurationSeconds</code>
            parameter to specify the duration of your session. You can provide a value from 900
            seconds (15 minutes) up to the maximum session duration setting for the role. This
            setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours. To learn how to view the maximum
            value for your role, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use.html#id_roles_use_view-role-max-session">View
            the Maximum Session Duration Setting for a Role</a> in the <i>IAM User Guide</i>.
            The maximum session duration limit applies when you use the <code>AssumeRole*</code>
            API operations or the <code>assume-role*</code> CLI operations but does not apply
            when you use those operations to create a console URL. For more information, see <a

            The temporary security credentials created by <code>AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity</code>
            can be used to make API calls to any AWS service with the following exception: you

            Optionally, you can pass an IAM access policy to this operation. If you choose not
            to pass a policy, the temporary security credentials that are returned by the operation
            have the permissions that are defined in the access policy of the role that is being
            assumed. If you pass a policy to this operation, the temporary security credentials
            that are returned by the operation have the permissions that are allowed by both the
            access policy of the role that is being assumed, <i> <b>and</b> </i> the policy that
            you pass. This gives you a way to further restrict the permissions for the resulting
            temporary security credentials. You cannot use the passed policy to grant permissions
            that are in excess of those allowed by the access policy of the role that is being
            assumed. For more information, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_control-access_assumerole.html">Permissions

            Before your application can call <code>AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity</code>, you must
            have an identity token from a supported identity provider and create a role that the
            application can assume. The role that your application assumes must trust the identity
            provider that is associated with the identity token. In other words, the identity
            provider must be specified in the role's trust policy.

            Calling <code>AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity</code> can result in an entry in your AWS

            of the provided Web Identity Token. We recommend that you avoid using any personally
            identifiable information (PII) in this field. For example, you could instead use a
            GUID or a pairwise identifier, as <a href="http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#SubjectIDTypes">suggested

            Returns a set of temporary security credentials (consisting of an access key ID, a
            secret access key, and a security token) for a federated user. A typical use is in
            a proxy application that gets temporary security credentials on behalf of distributed
            applications inside a corporate network. Because you must call the <code>GetFederationToken</code>
            action using the long-term security credentials of an IAM user, this call is appropriate
            in contexts where those credentials can be safely stored, usually in a server-based

            that produce temporary credentials, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_request.html">Requesting

            using the security credentials of an AWS root account, but we do not recommended it.
            Instead, we recommend that you create an IAM user for the purpose of the proxy application
            and then attach a policy to the IAM user that limits federated users to only the actions
            and resources that they need access to. For more information, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/best-practices.html">IAM

            up to a maximium of 129600 seconds (36 hours). The default is 43200 seconds (12 hours).
            Temporary credentials that are obtained by using AWS root account credentials have
            a maximum duration of 3600 seconds (1 hour).

            <para>
            The permissions for the temporary security credentials returned by <code>GetFederationToken</code>

            </para>
             <ul> <li> 
            <para>
            The policy or policies that are attached to the IAM user whose credentials are used

            </para>
             </li> <li> 
            <para>
            The policy that is passed as a parameter in the call.
            </para>
             </li> </ul> 
            <para>
            The passed policy is attached to the temporary security credentials that result from
            the <code>GetFederationToken</code> API call--that is, to the <i>federated user</i>.
            When the federated user makes an AWS request, AWS evaluates the policy attached to
            the federated user in combination with the policy or policies attached to the IAM
            user whose credentials were used to call <code>GetFederationToken</code>. AWS allows
            the federated user's request only when both the federated user <i> <b>and</b> </i>
            the IAM user are explicitly allowed to perform the requested action. The passed policy
            cannot grant more permissions than those that are defined in the IAM user policy.
            </para>
             
            <para>
            A typical use case is that the permissions of the IAM user whose credentials are used
            to call <code>GetFederationToken</code> are designed to allow access to all the actions
            and resources that any federated user will need. Then, for individual users, you pass
            a policy to the operation that scopes down the permissions to a level that's appropriate
            to that individual user, using a policy that allows only a subset of permissions that
            are granted to the IAM user. 
            </para>
             
            <para>
            If you do not pass a policy, the resulting temporary security credentials have no
            effective permissions. The only exception is when the temporary security credentials
            are used to access a resource that has a resource-based policy that specifically allows
            the federated user to access the resource.

            Returns a set of temporary credentials for an AWS account or IAM user. The credentials
            consist of an access key ID, a secret access key, and a security token. Typically,
            you use <code>GetSessionToken</code> if you want to use MFA to protect programmatic
            calls to specific AWS APIs like Amazon EC2 <code>StopInstances</code>. MFA-enabled
            IAM users would need to call <code>GetSessionToken</code> and submit an MFA code that
            is associated with their MFA device. Using the temporary security credentials that
            are returned from the call, IAM users can then make programmatic calls to APIs that
            require MFA authentication. If you do not supply a correct MFA code, then the API

            Returns a set of temporary credentials for an AWS account or IAM user. The credentials
            consist of an access key ID, a secret access key, and a security token. Typically,
            you use <code>GetSessionToken</code> if you want to use MFA to protect programmatic
            calls to specific AWS APIs like Amazon EC2 <code>StopInstances</code>. MFA-enabled
            IAM users would need to call <code>GetSessionToken</code> and submit an MFA code that
            is associated with their MFA device. Using the temporary security credentials that
            are returned from the call, IAM users can then make programmatic calls to APIs that
            require MFA authentication. If you do not supply a correct MFA code, then the API
            returns an access denied error. For a comparison of <code>GetSessionToken</code> with
            the other APIs that produce temporary credentials, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_request.html">Requesting

            For cross-account access, imagine that you own multiple accounts and need to access
            resources in each account. You could create long-term credentials in each account
            to access those resources. However, managing all those credentials and remembering
            which one can access which account can be time consuming. Instead, you can create
            one set of long-term credentials in one account and then use temporary security credentials
            to access all the other accounts by assuming roles in those accounts. For more information
            about roles, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/roles-toplevel.html">IAM

            For federation, you can, for example, grant single sign-on access to the AWS Management
            Console. If you already have an identity and authentication system in your corporate
            network, you don't have to recreate user identities in AWS in order to grant those
            user identities access to AWS. Instead, after a user has been authenticated, you call
            <code>AssumeRole</code> (and specify the role with the appropriate permissions) to
            get temporary security credentials for that user. With those temporary security credentials,
            you construct a sign-in URL that users can use to access the console. For more information,
            see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp.html#sts-introduction">Common

            <para>
            By default, the temporary security credentials created by <code>AssumeRole</code>
            last for one hour. However, you can use the optional <code>DurationSeconds</code>
            parameter to specify the duration of your session. You can provide a value from 900
            seconds (15 minutes) up to the maximum session duration setting for the role. This
            setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours. To learn how to view the maximum
            value for your role, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use.html#id_roles_use_view-role-max-session">View
            the Maximum Session Duration Setting for a Role</a> in the <i>IAM User Guide</i>.
            The maximum session duration limit applies when you use the <code>AssumeRole*</code>
            API operations or the <code>assume-role*</code> CLI operations but does not apply
            when you use those operations to create a console URL. For more information, see <a

            Optionally, you can pass an IAM access policy to this operation. If you choose not
            to pass a policy, the temporary security credentials that are returned by the operation
            have the permissions that are defined in the access policy of the role that is being
            assumed. If you pass a policy to this operation, the temporary security credentials
            that are returned by the operation have the permissions that are allowed by both the
            access policy of the role that is being assumed, <i> <b>and</b> </i> the policy that
            you pass. This gives you a way to further restrict the permissions for the resulting
            temporary security credentials. You cannot use the passed policy to grant permissions
            that are in excess of those allowed by the access policy of the role that is being
            assumed. For more information, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_control-access_assumerole.html">Permissions
            for AssumeRole, AssumeRoleWithSAML, and AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity</a> in the <i>IAM

            <para>
            To assume a role, your AWS account must be trusted by the role. The trust relationship
            is defined in the role's trust policy when the role is created. That trust policy
            states which accounts are allowed to delegate access to this account's role. 
            </para>
             
            <para>
            The user who wants to access the role must also have permissions delegated from the
            role's administrator. If the user is in a different account than the role, then the
            user's administrator must attach a policy that allows the user to call AssumeRole
            on the ARN of the role in the other account. If the user is in the same account as
            the role, then you can either attach a policy to the user (identical to the previous
            different account user), or you can add the user as a principal directly in the role's
            trust policy. In this case, the trust policy acts as the only resource-based policy
            in IAM, and users in the same account as the role do not need explicit permission
            to assume the role. For more information about trust policies and resource-based policies,
            see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html">IAM

            <para>
            You can optionally include multi-factor authentication (MFA) information when you
            call <code>AssumeRole</code>. This is useful for cross-account scenarios in which
            you want to make sure that the user who is assuming the role has been authenticated
            using an AWS MFA device. In that scenario, the trust policy of the role being assumed
            includes a condition that tests for MFA authentication; if the caller does not include
            valid MFA information, the request to assume the role is denied. The condition in
            a trust policy that tests for MFA authentication might look like the following example.

            To use MFA with <code>AssumeRole</code>, you pass values for the <code>SerialNumber</code>

            the user's hardware or virtual MFA device. The <code>TokenCode</code> is the time-based
            one-time password (TOTP) that the MFA devices produces.

            The duration, in seconds, of the role session. The value can range from 900 seconds
            (15 minutes) up to the maximum session duration setting for the role. This setting
            can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours. If you specify a value higher than this
            setting, the operation fails. For example, if you specify a session duration of 12
            hours, but your administrator set the maximum session duration to 6 hours, your operation
            fails. To learn how to view the maximum value for your role, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use.html#id_roles_use_view-role-max-session">View

            The policy parameter is optional. If you pass a policy, the temporary security credentials
            that are returned by the operation have the permissions that are allowed by both the
            access policy of the role that is being assumed, <i> <b>and</b> </i> the policy that
            you pass. This gives you a way to further restrict the permissions for the resulting
            temporary security credentials. You cannot use the passed policy to grant permissions
            that are in excess of those allowed by the access policy of the role that is being
            assumed. For more information, <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_control-access_assumerole.html">Permissions

            The policy plain text must be 2048 bytes or shorter. However, an internal conversion
            compresses it into a packed binary format with a separate limit. The PackedPolicySize
            response element indicates by percentage how close to the upper size limit the policy
            is, with 100% equaling the maximum allowed size.

            Calling <code>AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity</code> does not require the use of AWS security
            credentials. Therefore, you can distribute an application (for example, on mobile
            devices) that requests temporary security credentials without including long-term
            AWS credentials in the application, and without deploying server-based proxy services
            that use long-term AWS credentials. Instead, the identity of the caller is validated
            by using a token from the web identity provider. For a comparison of <code>AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity</code>
            with the other APIs that produce temporary credentials, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_request.html">Requesting

            The temporary security credentials returned by this API consist of an access key ID,

            By default, the temporary security credentials created by <code>AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity</code>
            last for one hour. However, you can use the optional <code>DurationSeconds</code>
            parameter to specify the duration of your session. You can provide a value from 900
            seconds (15 minutes) up to the maximum session duration setting for the role. This
            setting can have a value from 1 hour to 12 hours. To learn how to view the maximum
            value for your role, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use.html#id_roles_use_view-role-max-session">View

            The maximum session duration limit applies when you use the <code>AssumeRole*</code>

            The policy plain text must be 2048 bytes or shorter. However, an internal conversion
            compresses it into a packed binary format with a separate limit. The PackedPolicySize
            response element indicates by percentage how close to the upper size limit the policy
            is, with 100% equaling the maximum allowed size.

            For example, if a user is not authorized to perform an action that he or she has requested,
            the request returns a <code>Client.UnauthorizedOperation</code> response (an HTTP

            Only certain AWS actions return an encoded authorization message. The documentation

            applications inside a corporate network. Because you must call the <code>GetFederationToken</code>
            action using the long-term security credentials of an IAM user, this call is appropriate
            in contexts where those credentials can be safely stored, usually in a server-based
            application. For a comparison of <code>GetFederationToken</code> with the other APIs
            that produce temporary credentials, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_request.html">Requesting

            The passed policy is attached to the temporary security credentials that result from
            the <code>GetFederationToken</code> API call--that is, to the <i>federated user</i>.
            When the federated user makes an AWS request, AWS evaluates the policy attached to
            the federated user in combination with the policy or policies attached to the IAM
            user whose credentials were used to call <code>GetFederationToken</code>. AWS allows
            the federated user's request only when both the federated user <i> <b>and</b> </i>
            the IAM user are explicitly allowed to perform the requested action. The passed policy
            cannot grant more permissions than those that are defined in the IAM user policy.
            </para>
             
            <para>
            A typical use case is that the permissions of the IAM user whose credentials are used
            to call <code>GetFederationToken</code> are designed to allow access to all the actions
            and resources that any federated user will need. Then, for individual users, you pass
            a policy to the operation that scopes down the permissions to a level that's appropriate
            to that individual user, using a policy that allows only a subset of permissions that
            are granted to the IAM user. 
            </para>
             
            <para>
            If you do not pass a policy, the resulting temporary security credentials have no
            effective permissions. The only exception is when the temporary security credentials
            are used to access a resource that has a resource-based policy that specifically allows
            the federated user to access the resource.

            consist of an access key ID, a secret access key, and a security token. Typically,

             <b>Note:</b> The size of the security token that STS APIs return is not fixed. We
            strongly recommend that you make no assumptions about the maximum size. As of this
            writing, the typical size is less than 4096 bytes, but that can vary. Also, future
            updates to AWS might require larger sizes.
