Create an IAM Access Analyzer internal access analyzer

To enable an internal access analyzer in a Region, you must create an analyzer in that Region. You must create an internal access analyzer in each Region in which you want to monitor access to your resources.

IAM Access Analyzer charges for internal access analysis based on the number of resources monitored per analyzer per month. For more details about pricing, see IAM Access Analyzer pricing.

Note

After you create or update an analyzer, it can take time for findings to be available.

IAM Access Analyzer cannot generate internal access findings for organizations that contain more than 70,000 principals (IAM users and roles combined).

You can only create one organization-level internal access analyzer in an AWS organization.
