Enabling profile sharing in Amazon Q Developer - Amazon Q Developer

Enabling profile sharing in Amazon Q Developer

Note

This section does not apply to personal accounts (Builder IDs).

If you are a management account administrator within an organization managed by AWS Organizations, you can enable the profile sharing feature. When profile sharing is enabled, the Amazon Q Developer profile that has been installed in a management account will be shared with member accounts. Sharing the profile has one benefit: it allows IAM Identity Center workforce users who are subscribed to Amazon Q Developer Pro in a management account to use their Amazon Q Developer Pro subscription in the AWS Management Console, and on AWS apps and websites while signed in to a member account. When profile sharing is disabled, these users can still use Amazon Q in the AWS Management Console, and on AWS apps and websites, while signed in to a member account, but they'll be subject to Free tier limits and features.

Enabling profile sharing has no effect on users' ability to use Amazon Q in the integrated development environment (IDE) or on the command line.

Use the following instructions to enable profile sharing.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that:

  • You are an administrator of an AWS management account.

  • You have an IAM Identity Center instance set up in your management account and connected to Amazon Q. To check, sign in to your management account, go to the Amazon Q Developer console, choose Settings, and make sure that a Start URL appears.

  • You have subscribed users to Amazon Q Developer Pro in your management account.

  • You have the minimum permissions required to access the Amazon Q Developer console. For more information, see Allow administrators to use the Amazon Q Developer console.
