Getting started with IAM Identity Center

IAM Identity Center is a service that is used by administrators to manage the identities of end users. In the context of Amazon Q Developer, administrators use IAM Identity Center to manage the identities of those whom they plan on subscribing to Amazon Q Developer Pro.

Users who have identities in IAM Identity Center or in a directory or database that is connected to IAM Identity Center are called IAM Identity Center workforce users in this guide.

You should get started with IAM Identity Center if:

  • You're an administrator who wants to set up multiple users with Amazon Q Developer at the Pro tier. By using IAM Identity Center, your users get the full suite of Amazon Q Developer features, plus you get enterprise controls over the Amazon Q Developer subscriptions you administer. For example, you can cancel users' subscriptions, subscribe users in bulk, and track Amazon Q usage on a dashboard.

  • You're an individual user, and you can't use a personal account (Builder ID) because of its limitations.
