Connect an AWS account
Configure AWS IAM role or access-key authentication in Secorvia and verify the connected account and first scan.

Before you start
Have an AWS account you can authorize, its 12-digit account ID, and an approved scanner role or IAM credential. This guide documents Secorvia fields; use your approved AWS policy and trust configuration.
Select the AWS authentication method
Open Cloud Accounts → Add Cloud Account. Enter Account Name and choose AWS: IAM Role (Assume Role) — recommended or AWS: IAM Access Key.
Enter the AWS identifiers
Enter the 12-digit AWS Account ID. With role authentication, enter the IAM Role ARN and External ID required by your role trust configuration. Use the exact values approved for this integration.
Complete credentials and region
For access-key authentication, supply Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. Choose the Default Region. The form validates the access-key format; a correctly formatted key still needs valid permissions in AWS.
Connect and verify collection
Submit the form, then check Connection Status and Last Validated on the account detail. Open its Scan History and wait for the first scan to complete. Review Inventory and Findings for this account before connecting additional accounts.
Where you are now
You have a verified AWS connection with a traceable first scan and account-scoped results.
WHEN SOMETHING LOOKS OFF
A few things to check
Account ID is rejected
Enter exactly 12 digits, without spaces or an alias.
Role authentication fails
Check the role ARN, external ID, trust relationship, and the scanner permissions with the AWS administrator. Do not switch to broadly privileged credentials as a workaround.
