Users Without Groups

Overview

The "Users Without Groups" widget identifies IAM users who are not assigned to any IAM groups. Group-based access control is a best practice for managing users, and this widget helps ensure that no users are left ungrouped, which could lead to improper permission assignments.

Why It Matters

For IT Engineers:

1. Organized Access Control:

   • Helps ensure that all users are assigned to proper groups for consistent and manageable access control.

2. Simplified Permissions Management:

   • Allows for better visibility and tracking of user access by ensuring that group-based access is in place.

For Security Engineers:

1. Risk Management:

   • Reduces security risks by ensuring all users have appropriate permissions based on their group assignments, minimizing the chance of excessive or missing privileges.

2. Policy Enforcement:

   • Makes it easier to enforce security policies by ensuring that users without groups are promptly assigned to the right groups.
