Quick email synchronization for federated users - AWS Prescriptive Guidance

Quick email synchronization for federated users

Note

This feature is available only for the Enterprise edition of Amazon Quick.

When IAM users self-provision access to Quick, administrators can't control which email address the user provides to Quick. Users could enter a personal email address instead of their work email address. This might not be acceptable for some organizations. However, when you're using an identity provider to provide federated access to Quick Enterprise edition, Quick has a feature that ensures the user's email address in Quick matches the user's email address in the identity provider.

In the IdP, you add a SAML attribute for the user's email address. The process for creating the attribute or token differs for each IdP. See the instructions for Okta or IAM Identity Center, or see the documentation for your organization's IdP. The IdP passes the user's email as an IAM Principal session tag. Quick uses this session tag instead of prompting the user to provide their email address. For instructions about how to enable this feature, see Configuring email syncing for federated users in the Quick documentation.
