Roles

A role is similar to a user, in that it is an identity with permission policies that determine what the identity can and cannot do . However, instead of being uniquely associated with one person, a role is intended to be assumable by anyone who needs it. Also, a role does not have any credentials (password or access keys) associated with it. Instead, if a user is assigned to a role, access keys are created dynamically and provided to the user.
