    AWS console IAM role assume

    If you are working with Amazon Web Services (AWS), you may have heard the term "assuming a role" in the context of one role using another role. This phrase refers to the process of temporarily taking on a specific set of permissions or privileges within an AWS account, in order to perform certain actions or access specific resources.

    Since when we are using the AWS console we are using a specific role to have access, we can assume another role as well.
