AWS deadline-cloud documentation change

Service: deadline-cloud · 2025-11-22 · Documentation low

File: deadline-cloud/latest/userguide/manage-monitor-users_users.md

Summary

Updated documentation to clarify user management processes based on IAM Identity Center directory vs external IdP. Added guidance about email invitations and external identity provider limitations.

Security assessment

The changes clarify authentication workflows and identity source dependencies but do not address a specific security vulnerability. They improve documentation about security features (IAM Identity Center integration) without indicating a security fix.

-An Organizations owner can use the Deadline Cloud console to manage the users and groups that have access to the Deadline Cloud monitor. You can choose from existing IAM Identity Center users and groups, or you can add new users and groups from the console.
+If your identity source is set to IAM Identity Center directory, you can create and manage users and groups directly through the Deadline Cloud console. Users created in the console will receive email invitations from IAM Identity Center. After accepting the invitation, users can access the Deadline Cloud monitor.

+###### Note
+
+If your IAM Identity Center is connected to an external identity provider, you cannot create users through the Deadline Cloud console. See [Manage users with an external identity provider](./manage-users-external-idp.html) for information about managing users with an external IdP.
