name: Amazon IAM Identity Center
description: AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS Single Sign-On) is where you create, or connect, your workforce identities
  in AWS once and manage access centrally across your AWS organization. You can create user identities directly in IAM Identity
  Center, or bring them from Microsoft Active Directory, and then use IAM Identity Center to manage user access to AWS accounts
  and business applications with single sign-on.
