Abstract
Techniques for role-based permission delegation in a provider network. The techniques include an assuming service in the provider network sending a request to a temporary credential service in the provider network to assume a delegation role. The assuming service, acting in the delegation role, sending a request to the temporary credential service to assume the customer role in accordance with a down scoping policy. The assuming service, acting in the customer role, performing an action in a strict subset of actions on a customer resource. The techniques improve the operation of the provider network by allowing a permission to perform an action on the customer resource that is granted by the customer to a delegating service in the provider network to be delegated to the assuming service while complying with the access control principle of least privilege.
