Multiple trust entities in a single role

Question

Hi,  
  
I need to enable two account on the same role. Is there any way to achieve this?

```
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::123456789:root"
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
      "Condition": {
        "StringEquals": {
          "sts:ExternalId": "1555555555"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

Seeing the discussion in: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=224325 it would be possible, however i cant figure out how to get the JSON right. Can anyone take a look at above policy and figure out how to add a secondary?  
  
I Tried with:

```
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::123456789:root",
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::798456132:root"
      },
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
      "Condition": {
        "StringEquals": {
          "sts:ExternalId": "1555555555"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Micke2k,  
  
Please replace the account id "123456789012" with the account id for your AWS account. I used this account id as an example.  
  
Please let me know if this works now or if you have any issues.  
  
Thank you,

Hi,  
  
This doesnt work. It gives error:  
  
An error occurred: Invalid principal in policy: "AWS":"arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root"

Hello Micke2k,  
  
Thank you for reaching out to us. Please try to specify the account ARNs as an array within the Principal.  
  
For example,

```
 
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": [
          "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root",
          "arn:aws:iam::987654321098:root"
        ]
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
      "Condition": {
        "StringEquals": {
          "sts:ExternalId": "1555555555"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

Thanks,
