Disable user access to AWS accounts and applications in IAM Identity Center

When you disable user access in your IAM Identity Center directory, you can't edit their user details, reset their password, add the user to a group, or view their group membership. Disabling user access prevents them from signing in to the AWS access portal and they will no longer have access to their assigned AWS accounts and applications.

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 won't be able to create new sign in sessions. For more information, see Authentication sessions.
