Add-on summary

Region Warning

Sometimes AWS will switch your current region, this setting will cause the region icon to flash if you are not in a region you have configured to be in.

Role Switching

Working within the AWS Console can be pain if your organization works with multiple subaccounts and role based access within those accounts. For some reason AWS' role history has a limit of 5 roles. This extension allows you to quickly switch between any number of AWS IAM roles in any account, assuming you're part of a top-level organization. Click the mask icon or use the keyboard shortcut to trigger the popup. Use the options page to upload/download your role configuration. It expects a JSON file with the following:

{   "group_name": [     {       "account": "accound_id",       "role": "role_name",       "description": "description",       "color": "hexcolor"
