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.
