EUCCOST03-BP01 Determine the level of self-service capabilities to provide your users

Amazon WorkSpaces offers self-service capabilities that you can enable for your users. Assess the impact of granting access to these self-service capabilities and selectively disable or enable them based on your requirements.

Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: Medium

Implementation guidance

Evaluate the cost impact of enabling certain self-service WorkSpaces management capabilities for your users, and then select which of these self-service capabilities you want to provide to your users. For more information, see Enable self-service WorkSpaces management capabilities for your users in WorkSpaces Personal . Consider creating internal policies to govern which capabilities are allowed. Changing the compute type (bundle), increasing the root and user volume size, and changing the running mode may increase your cost. Instead of enabling these capabilities for your users, you may consider providing these capabilities through your IT service management so that changes requested by a user requires prior approval.
