The GetFederationToken action returns a set of temporary credentials for a federated user with the user name and policy specified in the request. The credentials consist of an Access Key ID, a Secret Access Key, and a security token. The credentials are valid for the specified duration, between one and 36 hours.
The federated user who holds these credentials has any permissions allowed by the intersection of the specified policy and any resource or user policies that apply to the caller of the GetFederationToken API, and any resource policies that apply to the federated user's Amazon Resource Name (ARN). For more information about how token permissions work, see Controlling Permissions in Temporary Credentials in Using AWS Identity and Access Management . For information about using GetFederationToken to create temporary credentials, see Creating Temporary Credentials to Enable Access for Federated Users in Using AWS Identity and Access Management .
