Day 17 : Create IAM Group
100 Days of Cloud (AWS)
Hello welcome back to Day 17. Today we will learn how to create IAM group in AWS Management console. In this lab you need to create IAM group with a name like iamgroup_john.
What is IAM Group?
In AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management), an IAM Group is a collection of IAM users. It lets you manage permissions for multiple users at once, instead of assigning policies to each user individually.
Why IAM Groups Are Useful
Centralized permission management
Assign a policy to the group, and all users automatically inherit the same permissions.Easy onboarding/offboarding
Add a user to a group → instantly gets all group permissions.
Remove a user → loses those permissions.Follows best-practice (least privilege)
You can create groups based on job roles (e.g., DevOps, Developers, Finance).
