CloudWizard connects via a secure, read-only cross-account IAM role that you deploy in your AWS account.

  • The role trusts only the CloudWizard AWS account and can require a unique external ID.
  • Permissions are limited to read-only actions such as Describe, List, and Get for security posture inspection.
  • Access is performed using short-lived STS credentials rather than long-lived static keys.
  • You stay in control and can revoke access at any time by removing the role from your AWS account.
