Signing up for an Amazon Quick Suite subscription

When you first sign up for Amazon Quick Suite, you get a free trial subscription for four users for 30 days. During the process of signing up, you may set options for your identity provider.

Before you begin, make sure that you can connect to an existing Amazon Web Services account. If you don't have an Amazon Web Services account, see Complete initial configuration tasks. The person who signs up for Quick Suite needs to have the correct Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions. For more information, see IAM policy examples for Quick Suite.

To test your permissions, you can use the IAM policy simulator; for more information, see Testing IAM policies with the IAM policy simulator. Also, check whether your Amazon Web Services account is part of an organization based on the Amazon Organizations service. If so and you sign in as an IAM user, make sure that you didn't inherit any IAM permissions that deny access to the required permissions. For more information on Organizations, see What is Amazon Organizations?

Note

Your data is encrypted by default using Amazon-managed keys. Admins can adjust settings for custom encryption in the admin portal after signing up.
