Controlling access to Amazon DataZone resources using IAM

You need AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to complete the following security-related tasks:

  • Create users and groups under your AWS account.

  • Assign unique security credentials to each user under your AWS account.

  • Control each user's permissions to perform tasks with AWS resources.

  • Allow the users in another AWS account to share your AWS resources.

  • Create roles for your AWS account and define the users or services that can assume them.

  • Use existing identities for your enterprise to grant permissions to perform tasks using AWS resources
