Amazon IAM Identity Center

AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS Single Sign-On) is where you create, or connect, your workforce identities in AWS once and manage access centrally across your AWS organization. You can create user identities directly in IAM Identity Center, or bring them from Microsoft Active Directory, and then use IAM Identity Center to manage user access to AWS accounts and business applications with single sign-on.

Amazon IAM Identity Center publishes 2 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network: AWS Single Sign On Admin API and AWS SSO Identity Store API. Tagged areas include Access Control, Authentication, Identity and Access Management, and SSO.

The Amazon IAM Identity Center catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Amazon IAM Identity Center’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, support, engineering blog, developer console, signup flow, and 19 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/amazon-iam-identity-center: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

Standards implemented 2

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
