AWS Users are a critical part of managing access to resources within the AWS cloud platform. An AWS User is an identity that can be granted permissions to perform specific actions on AWS resources. This allows organizations to control who has access to their data and applications, and what level of access they have.
There are many different types of AWS Users, each with its own set of permissions. Some common types of AWS Users include:
-
Root users have full administrative access to all AWS resources.
-
IAM users are created by administrators and are granted specific permissions through IAM policies.
-
Federated users are created through a federation with another identity provider, such as Active Directory or Google Apps.
