Identity and access management for Infrastructure Performance
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an AWS service that helps an administrator securely control access to AWS resources. IAM administrators control who can be authenticated (signed in) and authorized (have permissions) to use Infrastructure Performance resources. IAM is an AWS service that you can use with no additional charge.
To use Infrastructure Performance, you'll need an AWS account and AWS credentials. To increase the security of your AWS account, we recommend that you use an IAM user to provide access credentials instead of using your AWS account credentials. For more information, see AWS account root user credentials and IAM identities in the Amazon Web Services General Reference and IAM best practices in the IAM User Guide.
The following sections provide details on how an IAM administrator can use IAM to help secure your AWS resources, by controlling who can perform Infrastructure Performance actions.
