Invite AWS BugBust event players (admin)

After you create your event, an AWS BugBust administrator can start inviting players to it. An invited player cannot who joins an event cannot be removed.

Players who join your event can claim work items and compete with other players to see who can earn the most points by fixing bugs and improving the performance of applications. An invited player receives a special URL. When the invited player visits that URL, they choose Join event, which grants them the required permissions. An event player cannot invite another player into an event. For more information, see Joining an AWS BugBust event.

For a player to access an event, you must do the following.

  1. Grant each player the permissions in the AWSBugBustPlayerAccess AWS managed policy. For more information, see AWSBugBustPlayerAccess managed policy for players.

  2. Send them a URL to join your event.

    • If your organization uses a SSO (single sign-on) sign-in URL to log in to AWS, send them that URL.

    • If your organization doesn't use a SSO (single sign-on) sign-in URL to log in to AWS, send them the automatically generated URL that appears in the email text in the AWS BugBust console. For more information, see the procedure later in this topic.

    If you use IAM Identity Center, see How to sign in to the player portal in the IAM Identity Center User Guide for more information.
