Emergency admin login

As a best practice, users assigned to the Amazon Connect Admin security profile should always use their Amazon Connect instance URL to login:

• Log in to the Amazon Connect admin website at https://instance name.my.connect.aws/.

This method ensures the appropriate levels security.

However, if there's an emergency, you can log in from the Amazon Connect console using your AWS account credentials. For example, you may need to login in this way in the following situations:

• You forgot your Amazon Connect administrator password and no other Amazon Connect administrators are around to reset it.

• Someone deleted the Amazon Connect Admin security profile by mistake.

To login for emergency access

1. Make sure you have your AWS account credentials at hand and that you have the required permissions.

2. Open the Amazon Connect console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/connect/.

3. If prompted to login, enter your AWS account credentials.

4. Choose the name of the instance from the Instance alias column.

   

5. In the navigation pane, choose Overview.

6. Choose Log in for emergency access.

   You aren't prompted for your credentials because you are federated in from the AWS console.
