Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When using a central account to deploy to sub accounts, it's necessary to configure multiple connections with access keys and assume role names.

Describe the solution you'd like

A solution to chain roles from primary connection to sub connection provides a convenient solution to reduce duplication of access keys. For instance, in the connection configuration, add an input field for source connection (containing user access key) and assume role arn/name which would then be assumed during task execution.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Separate assume role arn/name parameters can be added to each task input to achieve the same effect. However, this approach requires change to all tasks and incurs additional maintenance overhead.

Additional context

I can create a PR with the necessary changes if the feature is approved.
