Setting up and using the Amazon Web Services access portal

The Amazon Web Services access portal connects your workforce to Amazon Web Services accounts and cloud applications through IAM Identity Center. Administrators configure the portal and manage user access, while end users sign in once to seamlessly access all their authorized resources.

The Amazon Web Services access portal provides single sign-on access to:

  • Amazon Web Services accounts in your organization.

  • Amazon managed applications such as Amazon Quick Suite and Amazon Q Developer.

  • Cloud applications like Office 365, Concur, Salesforce, and others.

When users sign in to the portal, they find the Amazon Web Services accounts and applications they're authorized to access without additional sign-in.
