Thank you for your feedback

Region Names or Get All Regions (optional) - Specify one or more comma-separated region names for specific regions. Alternatively, select the Get All Regions option to connect to all available regions.
AWS Access Key ID (optional) - Provide AWS Access Key ID or choose to use an EC2 instance attached IAM role.
AWS Access Key Secret (optional) - Provide AWS Access Key Secret or choose to use an EC2 instance attached IAM role.

Note:

When you use an instance profile, AWS Access Key ID and AWS Access Key Secret are not required, and if input are ignored.

Account Tag (optional) - Tag for the EC2 instance ("nickname").
Proxy (optional) - HTTPS proxy to use when connecting to the AWS APIs.
- If supplied, Axonius will utilize the proxy when connecting to the AWS APIs.
- If not supplied, Axonius will connect directly to the AWS APIs.
Roles to assume (optional) – A file with role-ARNs which the AWS Adapter will try to assume for cross-account access with the single IAM user. Two available formats:
- List of comma-delimited role-ARNs
```
arn:aws:iam::111111111111:role/axonius-role, arn:aws:iam::222222222222:role/axonius-role
```
- JSON format - list of dictionaries that define each role.
  - external_id is only supported in the JSON format
  - The external_id can be different for every role in the list.
```
[
    {"arn": "arn:aws:iam::111111111111:role/axonius-role"},
    {"arn": "arn:aws:iam::222222222222:role/axonius-role", "external_id": "MY-SECRET"}
]
```
Use instance profile (attached role) (optional) - Select to use the EC2 instance (Axonius installed on) attached IAM role / instance profile instead of using the AWS Access Key ID and AWS Access Key Secret credentials supplied. This does not affect the Roles to assume parameter.

Note:

When you use the EC2 instance the adapter ignores the AWS Access Key ID and AWS Access Key Secret

Advanced Configuration File (optional) - Upload an advanced configuration JSON file. For details, see AWS Advanced Configuration File.
For details on the common adapter connection parameters and buttons, see Adding a New Adapter Connection.
