Cognos S3 Access: Transitioning from User-Based to IAM Role-Based Authentication, We are requesting us to provide some CLI commands to update on to cognos s3 - TS022880900

Currently, Cognos is configured using user-based permissions (access key ID and secret key) to access S3 storage. However, due to organizational constraints on user-based credentials across environments.

It would be significantly more effective if Cognos supported IAM role-based authentication. With role-based access, all required S3 permissions can be consolidated into a single IAM role, eliminating the need to manage and rotate individual user credentials. This would simplify configuration, improve security posture, and provide a consistent access model across all environments.

Apart from this above request we also wanted to get the CLI commands to make an automation from our end, Please help us with the CLI commands where can proceed further.
