AWS CloudWatch Role-based access

Hi,

Does the AWS CloudWatch Connector support Role-based access?
In the Connector description this is not listed.
Our team want to use this if its supported because this is more secured and in-line with best practice.

I quickly downloaded the connector and it seems there are 3 ways to authenticate:

Key Pair will require the user to type the Access Key and the Secret Key.
Metadata will retrieve the temporal credentials from the EC2 Metadata. Only to be used if the DMA is running on an EC2.
Assume Role will used the role account given as the user. Otherwise, it will work the same as the "Metadata" method.

I believe the Assume Role method will match with what you need. In the meantime, I can also look into updating the documentation, so thank you for pointing that out!
