User Groups

Managing User Groups

An IAM User Group is a collection of IAM User Accounts. IAM User Groups simplify permissions management by allowing you to grant, change, and remove permissions to multiple IAM User Accounts at once. For example, you can create an IAM User Group called "Administrators" and grant administrative permissions to that group. Any IAM User Account in the group automatically has the permissions assigned to the group.
