Answer

I've used the Gruntwork wizard to create my Reference Architecture AWS accounts, and now I need to log in to them without using the preferred pattern of using IAM roles. How can I do this? --- <ins datetime="2022-09-15T14:47:06Z"> <p><a href="https://support.gruntwork.io/hc/requests/109249">Tracked in ticket #109249</a></p> </ins>

While this is not the preferred method of accessing your accounts, you can access them in an emergency situation by following [AWS's documentation about accessing an AWS Organization account](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/organizations-member-account-access/).
