Hi, I’m currently trying to configure my rancher environment in such a way that a user I create in Rancher can go in with the ability to set up new hosts without additional authentication for aws. More or less attempting to avoid having a separate admin who has to manage all of these additional aws keys. Hopefully that makes sense…

If I create an initial environment with my access key to create the ec2 host, is there a way to create a “subenvironment” so that when I add a user to the environment they’d have the ability to go in and complete their work?
