AWS IAM Insights

What is AWS IAM?

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) enables you to manage access to AWS services and resources securely. Using IAM, you can create and manage AWS users and groups, and use permissions to allow and deny their access to AWS resources. IAM is commonly used to control who is authenticated (signed in) and authorized (have permissions) to use AWS resources.
