Customised policies and RBAC model. Role based authentication is more secure way to authenticate. STS for AWS cli using role based access is best feature and can be integrated with SSO and MFA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS roles are much complicated for EKS, ECS service and elastic beanstalk service and few services. We can't have much control on the permissions and privileges to customise as per organisations requirement . We need to use AWS managed roles as mandatory. This needs to be improve in terms of roles and policies for mentioned services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In cloud environment where security is one of the major concern and need today aws iam is like a blessing where you can provide access to a user as per the needs i.e. provide access only on those services which are needed instead of providing generalised access.

The best part is you can provide policy based access to the user by adding specific policies to the role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only drawback I fell in aws IAM is that a user cannot add more than 10 policies to a role i.e a role cannot have more than 10 permissions. I believe this should be improved because there are use cases where a role may have more than 10 policies attached. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At any point in time, users will need different levels of access to the AWS services, and as an admin, you have to ensure that you only give access privileges to the users that require them. For me , I find AWS Identity and Access Management service to be very useful in assigning different rights to different users.

It is much simpler to assign roles and privileges in AWS Identity and Access Management service than other solutions that will need deep-coding skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, you need to have first-hand information and a good background of experience in AWS Identity and Access Management environment before you can start using it.
