## Sample `POST` Request

```

| [**AssumeRole**](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/sts/assume-role.md)   | Let MinIO users request temporary credentials using user access and secret keys.                                                              |

### Understanding JWT Claims

> NOTE: JWT claims are only meant for WebIdentity and ClientGrants.

- `aws:username` - This is a string containing the friendly name of the current user, this value would point to STS temporary credential in `AssumeRole`ed requests, use `jwt:preferred_username` in case of OpenID connect and `ldap:username` in case of AD/LDAP. *aws:userid* is an alias to *aws:username* in MinIO.
