Cloud1.Live does not store, transmit, or use your AWS access key and secret beyond providing management tools for your AWS account. These credentials are stored locally on your system in an encrypted format and are never sent outside of your system. Cloud1.live supports IAM configurations that control a single account. Please create a dedicated IAM role specifically for the account you want Cloud1.live to manage. If you have multiple accounts, ensure that each has its own dedicated IAM role and use a Pro license for comprehensive management.
