AWS Extend Switch Roles
Description from store

Switch role history does not remain only five maximum on the AWS Management Console. This extension gives you show all of switch roles from a browse menu by loading your aws configuration.

## Configuration

### Simple Configuration
The simplest configuration is for multiple **target roles** when you always intend to show the whole list. **Target roles** can be expressed with a `role_arn` or with both `aws_account_id` and `role_name`.

#### Optional parameters

* `color` - The RGB hex value (without the prefix '#') for the color of the header bottom border and around the current profile.
* `region` - Changing the region whenever switching the role if this parameter is specified.
* `image` - The uri of an image to use on top of any color attribute supplied. The color and image are not mutually exclusive.

```
[profile marketingadmin]
role_arn = arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/marketingadmin
color = ffaaee

[anotheraccount]
aws_account_id = 987654321987
role_name = anotherrole
region=ap-northeast-1
```

### Complex Configuration
More complex configurations involve multiple AWS accounts and/or organizations.

- A profile that has only `aws_account_id` (without a `role_name`) is defined as **base account**.

- If your account is aliased, you specify `aws_account_alias` in **base account**.

- A **target role** is associated with a **base account** by the **target role** specifying a `source_profile`.

- As above, **target roles** can be expressed with a `role_arn` or with both `aws_account_id` and `role_name` and can optionally pass the optional parameters.

- If `target_role_name` is set in **base account**, the value is provided as the default role name for each **target roles**.

```
[organization1]
aws_account_id = your-account-alias

[Org1-Account1-Role1]
role_arn = arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/Role1
source_profile = organization1

[Org1-Account1-Role2]
aws_account_id = 123456789012
role_name = Role2
source_profile = organization1

[Org1-Account2-Role1]
aws_account_id = 210987654321
role_name = Role1
source_profile = organization1

[baseaccount2]
aws_account_id = 000000000000

[Base2-Role1]
role_arn = arn:aws:iam::234567890123:role/Role1
source_profile = baseaccount2

[AnotherRole]
role_name = SomeOtherRole
aws_account_id = account-3-alias
```

If you sign-in a base account, target roles of the other base accounts are excluded.

The config saves and says it is valid, but the plugin shows zero accounts in the Chrome taskbar.

Very useful tool. Would be great if it had an option to select roles with arrows when searching.

Thank you!

No 5 account limit like the AWS UI. Needs quite a bit of tweaking on the config currently (see issue 171 on Github) to get my config to work... (my config is based on the settings to get the CLI MFA to work for everything other than the default profile)

Wonderful extension. Makes working with multiple accounts and multiple roles usable. The developer has been very responsive to address issues when AWS update the UI. And AWS have recognised the value of this extension.

AWSome extension! The latest UI update seems to have broken this. Are there any plans to update this to work with the new update?

If you use AWS with multiple roles/accounts, you *need* this plugin.

Giving it 5 star even if it broke today - The extension works beautifully although on sept 18th AWS did an UI update and it's not working anymore. Thanks for checking it out!

One of the must have extensions if you work with multiple AWS accounts. Works great and is dead easy to configure.

This is by far the most useful Chrome extension I use in my day-to-day work. It solves a huge problem with the native AWS console experience which (for some reason) only limits you to quick-switch between the last five roles. We have a dozen or more roles at any one time so being able to switch to any of them quickly is extremely helpful.

I expected the roles to be available from the extension bar. The extension provides an interface similar to something AWS already has with some improvements. That's nice, but is not really helpful.
