AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
AWS Identity and Access Management Overview
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a free service from Amazon allowing you to create users
and manage permissions for each of these Users within your AWS Account.
A user is an identity (within your AWS Account) with unique security credentials that can be used to access AWS Services.
IAM eliminates the need to share passwords or access keys, and makes it easy to enable or disable a User's access as appropriate.
IAM offers you greater flexibility, control and security when using AWS.
S3 Browser Freeware provides
you an easy to use interface to manage your IAM users, groups, and permissions.
