Adding and removing users in an IAM user group - Amazon Identity and Access Management
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Adding and removing users in an IAM user group

Use user groups to apply the same permissions policies across multiple users at once. You can then add users to or remove users from an IAM user group. This is useful as people enter and leave your organization.

View policy access

Before you change the permissions for a policy, you should review its recent service-level activity. This is important because you don't want to remove access from a principal (person or application) who is using it. For more information about viewing last accessed information, see Refining permissions in Amazon using last accessed information.
