Enable attributes for access control

Use the following procedure to enable the attributes for access (ABAC) control feature using the IAM Identity Center console.

Note

If you have existing permission sets and you plan to enable ABAC in your IAM Identity Center instance, additional security restrictions require you to first have the iam:UpdateAssumeRolePolicy policy. These additional security restrictions are not required if you do not have any permission sets created in your account.

If your IAM Identity Center instance was created before December 2020 and you plan to enable ABAC in it, you must have the iam:UpdateAssumeRolePolicy policy associated with the IAM Identity Center administrative role, regardless of whether you have permission sets created in your account.

To enable Attributes for access control

  1. Open the IAM Identity Center console.

  2. Choose Settings

  3. On the Settings page, locate the Attributes for access control information box, and then choose Enable. Continue to the next procedure to configure it.
