Today, we launch an account instance of Amazon IAM Identity Center that gives customers a quick path to evaluate supported Identity Center enabled applications, such as Amazon Redshift. It allows customers to use the secure authentication model of IAM Identity Center but limited to a single Amazon Web Services account and only with supported Identity Center enabled. This includes new and updated APIs to manage IAM Identity Center instances.
Previously, customers evaluating Identity Center enabled applications had to configure or connect to an organization-wide instance of Identity Center. Now, deployment of the new account instance of IAM Identity Center is part of the setup of supported Identity Center enabled applications, such as Amazon S3 Access Grants. Account instances of IAM Identity Center can be used only to manage access to applications within the same Amazon Web Services account. Customers that already have an organization-wide deployment of IAM Identity Center can opt into this feature and control the creation of these instances through service control policies (SCPs).
Account instances of IAM Identity Center are available through supported Identity Center enabled applications. Account instances are supported in all Amazon Web Services regions where IAM Identity Center and the application are available.
