Amazon Web Services SCS-C02 Question Answer

A developer is receiving AccessDenied errors when the developer invokes API calls to AWS services from a workstation. The developer previously configured environment variables and configuration files on the workstation to use multiple roles with other AWS accounts.

A security engineer needs to help the developer configure authentication. The current credentials must be evaluated without conflicting with other credentials that were previously configured on the workstation.

Where should these credentials be configured to meet this requirement?

In the local AWS CLI configuration file

As environment variables on the local workstation

As variables in the AWS CLI command line options

In the AWS shared configuration file
