Working with AWS project and user settings in the AWS Cloud9 Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
AWS service settings, located in the AWS Settings pane of the Preferences tab, include the following settings:
-
Which AWS Region to use for the AWS Resources window
-
Whether to use AWS managed temporary credentials
-
Whether to display the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) template editor in plain text or visual mode
To view or change these settings, choose AWS Cloud9, Preferences in the menu bar of an IDE for an environment.
In the following lists, project-level settings apply only to the current AWS Cloud9 development environment. In contrast, user-level settings apply across each environment associated with your IAM user.
