Sign in through the AWS Command Line Interface
We recommend that you configure a user in IAM Identity Center if you plan to use the AWS Command Line Interface. The AWS access portal user interface makes it easy for IAM Identity Center users to select an AWS account and use the AWS CLI to get temporary security credentials. For more information about how to get these credentials, see Region availability for AWS Builder ID. You can also configure the AWS CLI directly to authenticate users with IAM Identity Center.
