Managing and Securing Access to AWS Resources Using IAM
- This article explores the basics of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), a powerful web service that helps you securely manage access to your AWS resources.
- The article guides you through the process of creating IAM users, adding them to IAM groups, and applying permission policies to control access to various services in your AWS account.
- Before starting to use IAM, make sure you have an AWS account, understanding of basic AWS services such as EC2, S3, and IAM, Administrator Access to the AWS Account, and access to the AWS Management Console.
- To start managing and securing access to AWS resources using IAM, start by signing in to the AWS Management Console.
- After that, set up IAM users. Created IAM users can have access to AWS resources with a specific set of permissions that define their level of access.
- Next, create IAM groups that organize the users and apply common permissions to all users within a group, instead of managing individual permissions for each user.
- By applying Permission policies, IAM policies can be used to enforce different levels of access for various user groups based on their roles.
- The article validates the set permissions by logging in using Dev-Team users and trying to delete S3 buckets and terminate EC2 instances. This demonstrates how IAM policies can be used to enforce different levels of access for various user groups based on their roles.
- IAM ensures that you have fine-grained control over who can access your AWS resources and what actions they can perform.
- By the end of this post, you'll have a solid understanding of how to manage user access efficiently and ensure your AWS environment stays secure.
