On the home page, select Login to account (1) for the account you want to access. This directs you to the AWS Access portal.  On the AWS Access portal, the  Account access details box, you will find all the available roles that can be used for logging in.  You can either: Select the role name (1) you want to use. This will redirect you to the AWS console. Alternatively, to retrieve your AWS CLI credentials, choose Access keys next to your desired role. This will open a pop-up with instructions for Mac, Linux, Windows and PowerShell environments.
