3. Choose +Create to get started
4. On the Permission Set details page, complete the fields as appropriate:
   • Permission Set Name: the name of the Permission Set. This is the name users will see when accessing Stax-managed AWS accounts using this Permission Set
   • Description: A description of the Permission Set
   • Max Session Duration: The maximum session duration for the Permission Set in seconds. Supported values are 3600 (1 hour) to 43200 (12 hours)

Once the Permission Set has been created, one or more Permission Set Assignments should be created to allow users to utilize it.
