AWS Identity and Access Management

AWS WAF integrates with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), a service that lets your organization do the following:

• Create users and groups under your organization's AWS account

• Share your AWS account resources with users in the account

• Assign unique security credentials to each user

• Control user access to services and resources

For example, you can use IAM with AWS WAF to control which users in your AWS account can create a new web ACL.

For general information about IAM, see the following documentation:
