  2. Request an API key / secret for that user;

Synchronize account(s)

If you are making changes in your AWS account and you want those changes to be directly visible in aewacs, you need to manually synchronize your account.

This is very easy and is done as follows:

  • Start by going to the AWS Accounts overview by clicking “AWS Accounts” in the left side menu.
  • An overview with all registered AWS accounts will appear.
  • To synchronize an account, find the account you want to synchronize in the list and press the “Actions” button on the right hand side.
  • In the actions menu that will appear select “Synchronize”.
  • A confirmation message will be shown that the synchronisation has started. 

Info
titleNote

It is considered good practice to create an AWS policy for aewacs.  We created a CloudFormation stack to help you get up and running with the needed policies as quickly as possible.
More on what policies are and how to create them: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/tutorial_managed-policies.htmlTo review what your policy should consist of, please check out “aewacs Policy”. After adding a user to your policy, you can use that user for aewacs.
