What is IAM?

Learn how to provide secure access to AWS accounts or resources using AWS IAM.

IAM (Identity and Access Management) is a security and management service of AWS. It is a global service that helps us provide external entities with secure access to AWS services or resources within our account. It takes care of both authentication (who is accessing the AWS account) and authorization (which services/resources the authenticated entity is accessing).
