• Building an Application as a Beta User of the Low-Code Solution 'AWS App Studio': Cons (Part 2 of 2)

  After completing the IAM Identity Center setup, I created an App Studio instance. I added the IAM Group and User created in AWS IAM Identity Center to the "Administrator Group" and initiated instance creation. However, the process of creating the App Studio instance took a very long time. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Migrating AWS Organizations: How I Did It and Why

  Then, AWS Identity Center (previously called SSO) came along, and I wanted to enable it. However, I didn't want to do it in my old, disorganized setup, as I knew it would only make it harder to align with AWS best practices in the future. So, I kept postponing it. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Setting up AWS IAM Identity Center as an identity provider for Confluence

  AWS IAM Identity Center is a great tool for managing access to multiple AWS accounts in one centralized location. Users can assume roles in the AWS accounts they have access to and work in the AWS console or CLI. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• My personal AWS account setup - IAM Identity Center, temporary credentials and sandbox account

  I'm sure AWS IAM user management was great when it first launched. Now, AWS IAM Identity Center has more features and is easier to use. For example, it provides an easy-to-use interface to access all accounts and roles. Or it has improved MFA capabilities, such as support for Apple's TouchID. That is why I chose AWS Identity Center. It is set up in the AWS Organizations root account and connects to all accounts in... - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago

• How to Improve Your Security Posture in Just a Few Clicks with AWS IAM Access Analyzer

  After observing the findings in an environment using AWS IAM Identity Center (formerly AWS SSO) to manage identities and access, we can see that we have a lot of findings related to the IAM Identity Center roles and the SAML provider which the IAM IC creates in each account. The Access analyzer considers these SAML providers external to the Organization because theoretically you could federate with Identity... - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• AWS Users, Roles, and Identity Center Demystified

  Human users using Roles can leverage IAM Identity Center (formerly AWS SSO) which offers a pretty good experience, whether we're federating from Active Directory (a popular choice for enterprises) or managing users within Identity Center (fine for individuals or small team). We get an easy console sign-in experience and similarly frictionless command line access. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Make desktop application prompt for IAM username and password?

  I would highly recommend not using IAM directly for this. Managing it will be an exercise in pain and suffering. At the very least, set up IAM Identity Center and tie it into your org IdP (or just provision users within IAM IC). The user experience of signing in and using this is so much better than legacy IAM users. You'll be able to create a permission set with the required privileges and then assign that to...

• Easy as SSO tooling with Granted AWS

  No doubt about it, AWS SSO (or should I say IAM Identity Centre?) is a great addition to the overall access management and security in AWS. But, as you mature in the cloud with a touch of AWS Organizations and dash of well-architected framework you'll soon have many AWS accounts and managing all of those accounts kind of sucks. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• IAM Best Practices [cheat sheet included]

  For human users, the best credentials are short-lived, and ones that no human ever sees or knows. This is entirely achievable thanks to identity providers such as AWS IAM Identity Center, or Google Cloud Identity. You can also sync a trusted external ID source like Okta Universal Directory, Microsoft Active Domain, or any open-source SAML-based system to get the same result. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Uncomplicating cloud security — IAM (Part 2)

  AWS recommends using IAM Identity Center for organizations or any size and type. What is more likely going to be the case though is that you are only going to find the need for it once you get into the multi-AWS account world. The service provides a comprehensive management layer built on top of the Identity provider which allows for seamless permissions and identity management across accounts and applications. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• AWS Deep Racer Event Hosting — Setup

  To make use of multi-user mode only a single AWS Account is required. Within that account each user requires the ability to access that account, with appropriate permissions. Options include an IAM user within that account, or if you’re operating this within an enterprise environment you could assume a role within the account, for example via using AWS Identity Centre (formerly known as Single Sign-On).... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Using multiple profiles with AWS-CLI

  Assume_role = arn:aws:iam::your-prod-aws-account:role/dev-prod-role This reduces the number of IAM keys you need to manage and worry about rotating. The IAM key for default should only have permissions to assume into other roles. The second suggestion is to look at using AWS SSO (now called AWS Identity Center[1]). This replaces long-lived keys on your machine, and instead you authenticate through AWS SSO to get a... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Think AWS, Think Security

  Use AWS Single Sign-on/AWS IAM Identity Centre Provide users with single sign-on access to all of their assigned Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts and business apps from a single location with the help of AWS SSO, which makes it simple to centrally manage access to several AWS accounts and business applications.

  AWS Control Tower is a service that allows you to build a secure AWS multi-account management environment. Since AWS Organizations and AWS SSO are set up automatically, it is easier than manually creating accounts. I have used this service at my company and found it convenient, so I decided to use it for my account this time.
