Add groups to your Identity Center directory - AWS IAM Identity Center

Add groups to your Identity Center directory

Use the following procedure to add groups to your Identity Center directory. Alternatively, you can call the AWS API operation CreateGroup to add groups.

Console
To add a group

  1. Open the IAM Identity Center console.

  2. Choose Groups.

  3. Choose Create group.

  4. Enter a Group name and Description - optional. The description should provide details on what permissions have been or will be assigned to the group. Under Add users to group - optional, locate the users you want to add as members. Then select the check box next to each of them.

  5. Choose Create group.

AWS CLI
To add a group

The following create-group command creates a new group in your Identity Center directory.

aws identitystore create-group \
    --identity-store-id d-1234567890 \
    --display-name "Developers" \
    --description "Group that contains all developers"

Output:

{
    "GroupId": "1a2b3c4d-5e6f-7g8h-9i0j-1k2l3m4n5o6p",
    "IdentityStoreId": "d-1234567890"
}

After you add this group to your Identity Center directory, you can assign single sign-on access to the group. For more information, see Assign user or group access to AWS accounts.
