Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Use the Amazon Web Services access portal

You can launch multiple applications by choosing the Amazon Web Services account or application tab in the portal. The presence of application icons in your Amazon Web Services access portal means that an administrator from your company has granted you access to those Amazon Web Services accounts or applications. It also means that you can access all these accounts or applications from the Amazon Web Services access portal without additional sign-in prompts.

How to use the Amazon Web Services access portal

To use the Amazon Web Services access portal:

  1. Get your portal URL from your administrator (typically looks like https://your-company.awsapps.com/start).

  2. Sign in using the credentials provided by your administrator.

  3. Choose the accounts and applications in your portal that you want to access.

Your administrator controls what you see in the portal based on your role and permissions. Contact your administrator to request additional access in the these situations:

  • You do not see an Amazon Web Services account or application that you need to access.

  • The access that you have to a given account or application isn't what you expected.
