This guide provides documentation for AWS Wickr. For Wickr Enterprise, which is the on-premises version of Wickr, see Enterprise Administration Guide.
How you use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) differs, depending on the work that you do in Wickr.
Service user – If you use the Wickr service to do your job, then your administrator provides you with the credentials and permissions that you need. As you use more Wickr features to do your work, you might need additional permissions. Understanding how access is managed can help you request the right permissions from your administrator. If you cannot access a feature in Wickr, see Troubleshooting AWS Wickr identity and access.
Service administrator – If you're in charge of Wickr resources at your company, you probably have full access to Wickr. It's your job to determine which Wickr features and resources your service users should access. You must then submit requests to your IAM administrator to change the permissions of your service users. Review the information on this page to understand the basic concepts of IAM. To learn more about how your company can use IAM with Wickr, see How AWS Wickr works with IAM.
IAM administrator – If you're an IAM administrator, you might want to learn details about how you can write policies to manage access to Wickr. To view example Wickr identity-based policies that you can use in IAM, see Identity-based policy examples for AWS Wickr.
