WalkthroughThe AWS collector documentation now presents four collection strategies and updates the corresponding data-collection and permissions guidance. Organization setup is documented for both a configured source account and the management account. ChangesAWS collection documentation
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~50 minutes Change: Other Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The AWS permissions guide has a few gaps that can make setup fail when followed exactly. These include a missing management-role step, a missing Organizations permission, and unclear delegated-administrator instructions. The changes are documentation only and can be merged after these small fixes or with a quick follow-up. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

25-25: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 TrivialTrack the missing source-account diagram tab.
The page recommends the source-account strategy. The top diagram tabs show only the management-account and single-account paths. A reader who picks the recommended strategy gets no architecture diagram. The diagram in
collect-data.mdxLines 60-82 can be the base for this tab.Do you want me to draft the source-account diagram tab or open an issue to track it?

Delegated administrator guidance conflicts with the procedure.
Line 159 and Line 472 say a delegated administrator account can run these steps. Several steps need the management account itself:
- The steps create
OpenHoundCollectorUserandOpenHoundCollectorRolein the management account. - A delegated administrator cannot create IAM principals in another account.
- The
create-stack-setandcreate-stack-instancescommands at Lines 761-771 omit--call-as DELEGATED_ADMIN. A delegated administrator must pass that flag, so the commands fail as written.
Fix one of two ways:
- Limit these steps to the management account.
- Document which steps the delegated administrator runs, and add
--call-as DELEGATED_ADMINto the StackSets commands.

Add the organizations:DescribeOrganization statement to the source-principal policy.
Line 321 and the collect-data.mdx table say the source identity needs organizations:DescribeOrganization when management_account_id is omitted. The openhound-assume-role.json policy gives the source principal only sts:AssumeRole. If a reader follows these steps and omits management_account_id, discovery of the management account fails. Add an optional statement and say when it is needed.

Add the missing steps for the management-account role and its assume policy.
Line 477 tells readers to create the management-account OpenHoundCollectorRole with a different procedure. The <Steps> list has no step for that. Line 816 says to attach openhound-assume-management-role.json to OpenHoundCollectorUser or the workload role. Neither tab has a command for that. Both tabs show only the identical OpenHoundCollectorRole attach command. The single-account procedure also writes a different openhound-assume-role.json, and Line 775 overwrites that file. If a reader follows the steps in order, the managementaccount profile can fail on its AssumeRole hop.
Fix:
- Add an explicit step that creates the management-account
OpenHoundCollectorRole, with its trust policy and read-only policy. - Add
put-user-policyandput-role-policycommands foropenhound-assume-management-role.json, one in each tab. - Merge the two identical tabs at Lines 818-839.

Make the workload-role placeholders consistent.
Line 630 tells readers to replace <WORKLOAD_ROLE_NAME>. The template below has no such placeholder. Its trust principal is the management-account OpenHoundCollectorRole. Line 495 and Line 898 say the examples use AttachedOpenHoundCollectorRole. The examples at Lines 961 and 1022 use <WORKLOAD_ROLE_NAME>. Remove the stale sentence at Line 630. Use one name for the workload role on the whole page.
