Airflow variables on one MWAA environment. We write values and never read them back.

Connection

Credential we hold	`aws-role`

It gives you:

Name	Label	Kind	What it is

`roleArn`	Role ARN	text	yes	The ARN the grant printed. We assume it once to check it before saving.

Create the role manually from the two policies below. Set up the grant by hand in the vendor's console. You paste the result back into the wizard.

Name	Label	Kind	What it is
`penvAccountId`	Our AWS account ID	read only, filled in for you	The account the role trusts.
`roleName`	Suggested role name	read only, filled in for you	Unique to this attempt, so it cannot collide with a role another connection made.
`externalId`	External ID	read only, filled in for you	Required in the trust policy. Only we can assume the role with it.

You set these when you connect. Every mapping on the connection shares them.

Field	Label	Kind	Required	Advanced	What it is
`environmentName`	Environment	text	yes	no	The MWAA environment this connection may touch. The grant is scoped to it.
