AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) enables you to control access to AWS services and resources. You can create users and groups with unique security credentials and manage permissions for each of these users. You can also define IAM roles so that your application can securely make API calls without creating and distributing your AWS credentials. IAM is natively integrated into AWS Services.
