AWS Identity and Access Management Streamlines Assignment of IAM Roles to Workforce Users With Account Access Manager
AWS, Monday, August 10th, 2026
AWS IAM's new account access manager assigns IAM roles to workforce users and groups from IAM Identity Center.
AWS Identity and Access Management launched account access manager, which streamlines assigning IAM roles to workforce users.
Administrators use it to map IAM roles in their AWS accounts to workforce users and groups defined in AWS IAM Identity Center.
The feature combines permissions management flexibility, user awareness and a single point of federation, and is available through the IAM console, the AWS SDK and CloudFormation/CDK. Previously customers had to choose between federating users separately into each AWS account and defining permissions per account, or other alternative access management approaches. The new capability consolidates that work in one place.
