Signing up for an Amazon Quick subscription
When you first sign up for Amazon Quick, you get a free trial subscription for twenty-five users for 30 days. During the process of signing up, you may set options for your identity provider.
Before you begin, make sure that you can connect to an existing AWS account. If you don't have an AWS account, see Complete initial configuration tasks. The person who signs up for Quick needs to have the correct AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions. For more information, see IAM policy examples for Quick.
To test your permissions, you can use the IAM policy simulator; for more information, see Testing IAM policies with the IAM policy simulator. Also, check whether your AWS account is part of an organization based on the AWS Organizations service. If so and you sign in as an IAM user, make sure that you didn't inherit any IAM permissions that deny access to the required permissions. For more information on Organizations, see What is AWS Organizations?
Note
Your data is encrypted by default using AWS-managed keys. Admins can adjust settings for custom encryption in the admin portal after signing up.
