Amazon Identity and Access Management

Amazon Cloud Map integrates with Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM), a service that your organization can use to do the following actions:

  • Create users and groups under your organization's Amazon account

  • Share your Amazon account resources among the users in the account in an efficient manner

  • Assign unique security credentials to each user

  • Granularly control user access to services and resources

For example, you can use IAM with Amazon Cloud Map to control which users in your Amazon account can create a new namespace or register instances.

For general information about IAM, see the following resources:
