Enabling or disabling project-restricted account connections
The default in CodeCatalyst is to add an AWS account connection to your space that is then made immediately available for all projects and resources in the space. You can configure account connections so that they are restricted to a specified set of projects. This allows you to restrict which projects have access to connected AWS accounts. The access can be restricted for account connections to workflows and VPC connections.
Connections are represented by a connection resource Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that is unique to the connection between a specific AWS account and a specific space in CodeCatalyst. The connection can be specified as restricted. The account connection will not be available for workflows or default VPCs in CodeCatalyst.
Considerations for project-restricted account connections
The following considerations apply to project-restricted account connections.
-
You must have the Space administrator or Power user role to configure account connections for restriction.
Note
With the Power user role, you can enable or disable project restrictions for an account, but you can only configure access for projects where you are a member.
-
Any other projects that are using the account, such as workflows in a separate project, will no longer be able to use the account. Make sure to update any projects using the restricted account with an account that is not restricted.
-
After specifying an account as enabled for restriction, you must explicity enable the project or projects that will have access.
-
If you create a new project with an account connection that is enabled for project restriction, you will not be able to add the account connection to the new project's workflows until the project is enabled for the restricted account.
Enabling project-restricted account connections
Use these steps to enable an account for project restrictions and to specify projects where access is enabled.
To enable project-restricted account connections
Open the CodeCatalyst console at https://codecatalyst.aws/
. -
Navigate to your CodeCatalyst space. Choose Settings, and then choose AWS accounts.
The Accounts page displays.
-
Choose the account that you want to restrict for your space. Workflows in projects and VPC connections for the space will not have access to the restricted accounts available and their roles. Choose Enable project restrictions.
Note
Only specified projects will be able to access the account connection.
-
Choose the project or projects where you want to enable access, and then choose Enable. The account connection is now restricted to the selected projects.
Disabling project-restricted account connections
Use these steps to remove project restrictions for a connected account.
To disable project-restricted account connections
Open the CodeCatalyst console at https://codecatalyst.aws/
. -
Navigate to your CodeCatalyst space. Choose Settings, and then choose Account connections.
The Accounts page displays.
-
Choose the project where you want to disable access, and then choose Disable.
-
To completely disable project restrictions, choose Disable project restrictions.
Note
Other projects will be able to access the account connection.
