AWS Secrets Manager

Sometimes you need to access something from a different AWS account. It is called cross account access. For example, you may want to get a secret from the secrets manager. By default, it is not possible, but AWS comes with a solution. You can assume the role that has permission to the actions you want to do. Once you do this, you can act on the other account.
