You control which users have access to your portals. In each portal, the portal administrators create one or more projects and assign portal users as owners or viewers for each project. Each project owner can invite additional portal users to own or view the project.

IAM

If you see the user or role that you want to add in the IAM users or IAM roles list, complete the following steps.

To add portal users

  1. Do the following options:

    • Choose IAM users to add an IAM user as a portal user.

  2. Select the check boxes for the users or roles that you want as portal users. This adds the users or roles to the Portal users list.

  3. If you add a user that you don't want to have access to the portal, clear the check box for that user.

Congratulations! You successfully created a portal, assigned portal administrators, and assigned users who can use that portal when invited to do so. Your portal administrators can now create projects and add assets to those projects. Then, your project owners can create dashboards to visualize the data for each project's assets.

You can change the list of portal users later. For more information, see Add or remove portal users in Amazon IoT SiteWise.
