Grant users and groups access to Amazon resources

Amazon Directory Service provides the ability to give your directory users and groups access to Amazon services and resources, such as access to the Amazon EC2 console. Similar to granting IAM users access to manage directories as described in Identity-based policies (IAM policies), in order for users in your directory to have access to other Amazon resources, such as Amazon EC2 you must assign IAM roles and policies to those users and groups. For more information, see IAM roles in the IAM User Guide.

For information about how to grant users access to the Amazon Web Services Management Console, see Enable access to the Amazon Web Services Management Console with AD credentials.
