### Errors

XML error response for this API is similar to [AWS STS AssumeRole](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/API_AssumeRole.html#API_AssumeRole_Errors)

## Sample `POST` Request

```

- `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.

| [**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.                                                              |
