AWS IAM now provides role manager to set up IAM roles automatically
This simplifies the initial setup process for developers by automating permission configurations, allowing them to deploy services faster without manually creating every role.
- Role manager is a capability in AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) that automatically creates default IAM roles or reuses existing matching roles for AWS services.
- Deploys AWS-managed templates on behalf of users when configuring supported services in the console.
- Supports 6 AWS service consoles at launch, including AWS Lambda and Amazon EventBridge.
- Created roles appear as standard IAM roles in the IAM console that users fully control and can identify.
- Users can enable or disable role manager at any time, inspect deployed templates, or use IAM Access Analyzer to refine permissions.
- Available in all AWS Regions except AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and China Regions.
