Disable user access in IAM Identity Center

When you disable user access in your IAM Identity Center directory, you cannot edit their user details, reset their password, add the user to a group, or view their group membership. Use the following procedure to disable user access in your Identity Center directory using the IAM Identity Center console.

Note

When you disable user access or delete a user in IAM Identity Center, that user will immediately be prevented from signing in to the AWS access portal and will not be able to create new sign in sessions. For more information, see Authentication sessions.
