Use cases

Enable multi-account access to your Amazon Web Services accounts

Their personalized web user portal shows their assigned roles in Amazon Web Services accounts in one place. Users can also single sign-on through the Amazon Command Line Interface (CLI), Amazon SDKs using their directory credentials for a consistent authentication experience.

Enable single sign-on access to your Amazon Web Services applications

IAM Identity Center is integrated with Amazon Web Services applications for zero-configuration authentication and authorization. These integrated applications share a consistent view of users and groups for resource sharing and collaboration all within the application.
