Using the browser extension

Granted can integrate with your web browser using the Granted Chrome Extension and the Granted Firefox Add-On. These extensions provide security and usability improvements when working with AWS. The Granted Chrome Extension works with all Chromium-based browsers, such as Arc, Microsoft Edge, and Vivaldi.
