Configure your Amazon Quick account with IAM Identity Center

 Applies to: Enterprise Edition 
   Intended audience: System administrators 

IAM Identity Center helps you securely create or configure your existing workforce identities and manage their access across Amazon accounts and applications. IAM Identity Center is the recommended approach for workforce authentication and authorization on Amazon for organizations of any size and type. To learn more about IAM Identity Center, see Amazon IAM Identity Center.

Configure Amazon Quick and IAM Identity Center so that you can sign up for a new Amazon Quick account with an IAM Identity Center configured identity source. With IAM Identity Center, you can configure your external identity provider as an identity source. You can also use IAM Identity Center as an identity store if you don't want to use a third-party identity provider with Amazon Quick. Identity methods can't be changed after your account is created.

When you integrate your Amazon Quick account with IAM Identity Center, Amazon Quick account administrators can create a new Amazon Quick account that automatically has the identity provider's groups available. This simplifies asset sharing at scale in Amazon Quick.
