Groups By Region

Overview

The "Groups By Region" widget displays the distribution of IAM groups across different AWS regions. By monitoring where your groups are located, you can ensure that group-based access control policies are effectively implemented and monitored across all regions.

Why It Matters

For IT Engineers:

1. Group-Based Access Control:

   • Ensures that groups are appropriately distributed across regions, making it easier to manage permissions for users within those regions.

2. Operational Efficiency:

   • Provides insight into the use of IAM groups and allows for more effective access management based on geographical locations.

For Security Engineers:

1. Visibility & Control:

   • Ensures that IAM groups are not misconfigured with access to unintended regions, preventing possible security risks.

2. Compliance:

   • Helps meet compliance requirements for controlling access based on regional policies and securing resources across regions.
