Access AWS Console as OperatorUser

Accessing the AWS Management Console as OperatorUser

ℹ️ Overview After configuring the necessary permissions, you’ll need to sign in as the OperatorUser to begin using role-based access. This section guides you through the secure login process.

🔒 Security Note Always access the AWS Console through your organization’s approved sign-in URL and ensure you’re using a secure network connection.

Implementation Steps

  1. Locate your AWS account sign-in URL:

    • Navigate to the Security credentials tab in IAM
    • Find and copy your account’s unique AWS sign-in URL
    • This URL is specifically formatted for IAM user access

  2. Sign in as OperatorUser:

    • Open a new private/incognito browser window
    • Navigate to your copied AWS sign-in URL
    • Enter your IAM user name (OperatorUser)
    • Provide your password
    • Select Sign in

💡 Pro Tip Using a private/incognito window prevents credential conflicts if you’re managing multiple AWS accounts or roles.

  1. Verify successful login:

    • Upon accessing the IAM console
    • You’ll see a notification indicating your current access level
    • This confirms you’re logged in as OperatorUser
