Description
Similar request to here but to integrate it into Packer as well.
Essentially, the request is to support building images in a child account from a parent token. So that users and automation can be managed with a parent account, rather than creating a child user for each account and switching credentials.

Determine where authentication and account selection are handled, then verify that a parent token can build images in a child account without separate child credentials.
