Using the AMS console

The AMS console is available for you to interact with ECO. The console behaves similarly to other AWS consoles. However, only EDI on AWS enabled accounts can access the AMS console for EDI. After EDI is deployed in your account, you can search for Managed Services in the unified search bar to access the AMS console.

The console is account specific. So, if you're in a "Test" account for your organization, you can't see resources in the "Prod" account for the organization.

When you authenticate, the console applies an IAM policy that determines which console you can access and what you can do there. Your administrator might apply additional statements to the default policy to restrict what you can see and do in the console.

The console has the following features:

• Opening page – Has information and a Get started text box with a link to the Dashboard that includes the following information:

  • Incidents on your resources – Has a button to open an incident case in AWS Support Center, and shows how many incident cases are open, waiting for approval and require your attention

  • Compliance status – Links to the Rules and Resources page that shows are noncompliant and compliant rules and resources

  • Service requests – Has a button to open a service request case in AWS Support Center, and shows how many cases are open, waiting for approval and require your attention

  • Account-level security – Links to details on real-time threat detection findings from GuardDuty and data security and privacy findings from Macie

  • Quick actions – Links to Go to backup vaults and Create patch maintenance window

• Feature pages in the left-hand navigation pane:
