Users By Region

Overview

The "Users By Region" widget breaks down the distribution of IAM users across different AWS regions. This widget provides insight into where your users are located geographically, helping track usage and manage access control across multiple regions.

Why It Matters

For IT Engineers:

1. Geographical Access Control:

   • Enables monitoring of user activity across different regions, making it easier to manage region-specific permissions.

2. Operational Oversight:

   • Helps IT teams ensure that users are accessing resources from the intended regions, reducing the risk of accidental cross-region access.

For Security Engineers:

1. Risk Reduction:

   • Helps ensure users are not accessing resources from regions they shouldn't have access to, which could reduce the risk of data exposure.

2. Compliance:

   • Ensures that policies governing geographical access are followed, aiding in meeting compliance and security requirements.
