[evairmarinho]

I cannot find this option in documentation

Hi @evairmarinho I found a couple of documentation pages that might help:

• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_create_for-user.html
• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_create_for-user_externalid.html

Thanks, @tim-finnigan! The problem is that this configuration seems to be possible only via AWS console. I would like to do this creation of the role programmatically using the AWS CLI, or SDK. However, I did not find this external id parameter.

Have you tried using the create-role command to do this? Based on that documentation it looks like you can define sts:ExternalId in the policy you use.
