Currently Flank enables you to access

* Lambdas
* Step Functions

### Getting your credentials

1. Go to IAM (<https://console.aws.amazon.com/iamv2/home>)
2. Click on roles and create new role with the following settings:
   1. Under trust entity type, select **AWS account**
   2. Then select another AWS account and use account ID: <mark style="color:red;">**`551488560598`**</mark>
   3. Finally create an external ID. This can be a string of anything you choose.

3. Then attach whatever services you wish to use in Flank. Currently we recommend:
   1. AWSLambda\_FullAccess
   2. AmazonS3FullAccess
4. Create the role and navigate to Flank. On the homepage, navigate to add resource and click "AWS"
5. Use the external ID and role arn from the role you just created.&#x20;
6. Finally click sync and start using your resources.&#x20;
