You can achieve this by assuming the role in Account B through the management account. First, use the access key and secret key of the management account to assume the role in Account B using AWS STS. Then, use the temporary credentials obtained to create resources in Account B. Here’s the general approach:

  1. Use sts:assumeRole from Account A with the management account’s credentials to assume the role in Account B.
  2. Retrieve temporary credentials (Access Key, Secret Key, and Session Token).
  3. Use these credentials to create resources in Account B.

Ensure the IAM role in Account B has the necessary permissions and a trust relationship with the management account.

I believe this is an issue that could be resolved by AWS SSO, wouldn’t you agree?

you can use “assume_role” for this
