You cannot create EC2 instances, Lambda functions, ECS tasks, or any other resources in the management account

SSO management

IAM Identity Center (formerly AWS SSO) is managed through the delegated administrator account, not through this role

Your existing account-level and billing-level setup is not affected by this role.

How to access the management account

  1. Confirm your IAM user or role is in a child account of the management account.

  2. Confirm your user or role has the sts:AssumeRole permission.

  3. Find your Management Account ID: navigate to AWS Organizations > Dashboard > Management Account ID.

  4. In the AWS Console, click your username in the top-right corner.

  5. Click Switch Role.

  6. Enter:

    • Account ID: your Management Account ID

    • Role name: PumpCustomerAccess

  7. Click Switch Role.

You now have access to organization-level services through the management account.

Restricting access

By default, any user in a child account with sts:AssumeRole permission can switch into the PumpCustomerAccess role. If you want to restrict access to specific accounts, users, or groups, contact Pump and the team can apply tighter trust policy constraints.
