Helped our organization by providing a unified dashboard to manage permissions and access controls
The most valuable feature of AWS IAM Identity Center is the ability to provide a structured approach to access management through a single dashboard. This single-pane management allows users to manage access control and permissions centrally. It provides the least privilege-based access control, which limits users to only the operations they need to perform without interfering with unrelated configurations.
A flexible solution for application management, and facilitated centralization of our IAM
We use HelloID for ourselves and clients, so we need to manage a lot of client environments at once. Functionality to manage this situation is not yet available. When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have.
