## What it is
aws-sso-util is a Python command-line tool and library that smooths out rough edges of AWS IAM Identity Center (formerly AWS SSO). It provides utilities for configuring .aws/config, logging in/out, SDK credential support, identifier lookups, and CloudFormation.

## Use cases
- configure aws cli profiles for aws sso
- log in and out of aws identity center from the terminal
- get boto3 sessions for a specific account and role
- look up aws sso account and role identifiers
- manage aws sso via cloudformation
- set up credential-process for aws sdk sso authentication

## When to avoid
- you don't use AWS IAM Identity Center / AWS SSO
- you only need basic AWS CLI login, which AWS CLI v2 already supports
- you need a GUI or web-based SSO management tool

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool

- domain: cloud-computing, developer-tools, security
