Switching user roles from a chat channel using AWS Chatbot

If you find that your current user role doesn’t have the right permissions to achieve your desired task, you can switch roles directly from Microsoft Teams and Slack.

Note

If you are unable to run a particular command after switching roles, contact your administrator regarding the channel guardrails in place.
