 The default session duration is 6 hours when using an IAM User to assume an IAM Role (by providing an `aws-access-key-id`, `aws-secret-access-key`, and a `role-to-assume`) .
 If you would like to adjust this you can pass a duration to `role-duration-seconds`, but the duration cannot exceed the maximum that was defined when the IAM Role was created.
 The default session name is GitHubActions, and you can modify it by specifying the desired name in `role-session-name`.
+The default audience is `sts.amazonaws.com` which you can replace by specifying the desired audience name in `audience`.
 
 The following table describes which identity is used based on which values are supplied to the Action:

 In this example, the secret `AWS_ROLE_TO_ASSUME` contains a string like `arn:aws:iam::123456789100:role/my-github-actions-role`.  To assume a role in the same account as the static credentials, you can simply specify the role name, like `role-to-assume: my-github-actions-role`.

+    - name: Configure AWS Credentials for Beta Customers
+      uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v1
+      with:
+        audience: beta-customers

+        role-session-name: MySessionName

+In this example, the audience has been changed from the default to use a different audience name `beta-customers`. This can help ensure that the role can only affect those AWS accounts whose GitHub OIDC providers have explicitly opted in to the `beta-customers` label.
+
+Changing the default audience may be necessary when using non-default [AWS partitions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html).
