-With IAM Identity Center, you can manage sign-in security for your workforce identities, also known as workforce users. IAM Identity Center provides one place where you can create or connect workforce users and centrally manage their access across all their AWS accounts and applications. You can use multi-account permissions to assign these users access to AWS accounts. You can use application assignments to assign your users access to IAM Identity Center enabled applications, cloud applications, and customer Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML 2.0) applications.
