Featured Reviews

MA
Sr DevOps Engineer at HTC Global
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.
