IAM Groups

Overview

The "IAM Groups" widget provides a detailed view of all IAM groups in your AWS environment. IAM groups are used to manage permissions for a collection of users, and this widget helps you track and manage those groups to ensure proper access controls.

Why It Matters

For IT Engineers:

1. Permissions Management:

   • Provides visibility into the groups in your environment, helping ensure that users are assigned to the correct groups with appropriate access levels.

2. Operational Efficiency:

   • Simplifies group management by providing a centralized view of all groups, allowing IT engineers to quickly identify and adjust access as needed.

For Security Engineers:

1. Access Control:

   • Ensures that users have the correct permissions based on their group memberships, reducing the risk of over-permissioning.

2. Compliance:

   • Helps enforce group-based access policies and ensures compliance with best practices for least privilege access.
