[Feature Request] Support for populating aws config file

[andymac4182]

The one feature I am missing from being able to use granted as my only AWS SSO login tool is the ability to populate the full list of profiles I can access. I am currently using aws-sso-util configure populate for that. It would be great if it could be generated as part of granted's processes.

This will be very helpful!

Yes please! I just raised a discussion around this topic: #224

As I understand it this involves calling ListAccounts and paginating through to get all accounts. Then for each account calling ListAccountRoles for each account.

I also want this feature. I have two different SSOs I need to log in through though, so I'd want granted to populate my profile from both accounts. I have no problem running two commands to accomplish that, just as long as I have a way to differentiate between the ssos.

# Populate from my first sso, prefixing profiles with sso1-
$ granted sso populate --prefix sso1- <start url>

# Populate from my second sso, prefixing profiles with sso2-
$ granted sso populate --prefix sso2- <start url>

# Open a browser to the iam console on the Dev/Tooling account in sso1
$ assume -c -s iam sso1-Dev-Tooling-AdministratorAccess

Thoughts anyone?

I think the easiest way to fulfill the requirements (and the most minimal/unixy) would be to output all of the profiles to stdout.

So just granted sso generate <start url> would output a bunch of profiles you can pipe to ~/.aws/config or copy and paste or post process yourself to add the prefix.

I think the easiest way to fulfill the requirements (and the most minimal/unixy) would be to output all of the profiles to stdout.

I see a stdout-generating command as valuable and not mutually exclusive with either profile name prefixing or automatic ~/.aws/config population.

Perhaps one command is granted sso generate [--prefix <prefix>] <start url>, and the other is granted sso populate [--prefix <prefix>] <start url>, where --prefix <prefix> is optional for either command. The differences here appear to amount to what we do with the account and role lists once we have fetched them.

@tom-sherman I've taken your feedback into account and submitted a pull request #230. Here's hoping it works for everyone.
