- It can be synchronized with external Identity Providers, such as Microsoft Active Directory, to streamline user and access management across different platforms.
- It can be a crucial tool in larger organizations where users require access to a variety of AWS accounts and applications.
- It can enable administrators to assign and manage permissions more efficiently by managing them at the group level rather than individually for each user.
