In a previous video (https://youtu.be/gpquYmcpZpo), we reviewed the theory behind AWS IAM Identity Center—what it is and why you’d use it. In this video, we get into a hands-on tutorial to set it up and use it.
In the demo, we see how to enable IAM Identity Center, which will simultaneously create an AWS Organization for us (assuming you don’t already have one). Then we choose our identity source, create a new user and permission set, and assign access to an AWS account in the Organization. Finally, we test everything out by signing in to the AWS Access Portal.
Before we finish, I walk through how to disable IAM Identity Center, and also delete the AWS Organization.
