history

Project history and usage

Granted is a command-line tool for cloud access, focused on AWS role assumption, AWS SSO workflows, browser-based console access, and safer handling of cached credentials.

Project history

The Granted README and docs describe the project as a CLI that simplifies access to cloud roles and lets users open multiple cloud accounts in a browser. Its goals are fast role discovery and assumption, browser isolation for simultaneous accounts, and encrypted cached credentials to avoid plaintext SSO tokens on disk.

Granted is developed under the fwdcloudsec GitHub organization and is documented through the Common Fate/Granted documentation site. The repository structure separates the granted management command and assume role-assumption workflow.

Adoption history

Granted fits teams with many AWS accounts, especially organizations using AWS SSO/IAM Identity Center. Its adoption is driven by reducing friction around profile selection, browser sessions, and short-lived role credentials.

The Homebrew package is useful because the tool lives directly in shell workflows: users run assume, integrate it with AWS config and credentials files, and pair it with browsers and keychains rather than a server process.

How it is used

Users configure AWS profiles, run assume to select and assume a role, export credentials for terminal commands, or open cloud consoles in separate browser contexts. The docs recommend AWS SSO because it avoids long-lived IAM credentials on a device.

Granted also intersects with package-manager and OS security details because it can use platform credential stores and must behave correctly across macOS, Linux, Windows, shells, and browsers.

Why package nerds care

Granted is significant as a security-adjacent CLI package: it is small, but it touches AWS config conventions, credential files, shell initialization, browser integration, and OS credential stores. Those edges make packaging quality visible to day-to-day cloud operators.

Timeline

  • 2024: Discussions and issues show active use around AWS SSO profile and keychain workflows.
  • 2026: The GitHub repository listed hundreds of commits and over a thousand stars, indicating a mature niche CLI package.

Related projects

  • AWS CLI and AWS IAM Identity Center are the primary external systems.
  • Browser container/profile features, OS keychains, and shell integrations are part of the user workflow.
  • Common Fate documentation and fwdcloudsec source control are the official project surfaces.
