Enabling IAM Identity Center in Amazon WorkMail

When you enable IAM Identity Center, it acts as an authentication layer for the Amazon WorkMail users. IAM Identity Center users are managed separately from the Amazon WorkMail directory. It is recommended to use the same usernames across IAM Identity Center and Amazon WorkMail.
