AWSAdminAccess

In a lot of organizations there is a master AWS account and then other accounts are added via consolidated billing. To better manage the assets it is usually good to add a AdministratorAccess role to the sub-account to allow the master account to monitor and control costs on the sub-accounts. AWSAdminAccess provides a quick and easy way to setup a trust policy for the AdministratorAccess.

Running AWSAdminAccess

Download a binary for your system from the Releases page. You will need to know the role name you want to create and the account number of the master account.

AWSAdminAccess -r MasterAccountAccess -a 123456789012

Building

To build the binaries it is preferable to use a docker build environment for consistency. First build the docker buildn environment:

docker build -f build/Dockerfile-buildenv -t cloudtools:AWSAdminAccess-buildenv .

Next install the vendor package using glide:

glide install

And then build the binaries:

docker run -v `pwd`:/go/src/github.com/cloudtools/AWSAdminAccess -t cloudtools:AWSAdminAccess-buildenv bash -x build/build.sh
