Add initial users

The IDC CloudFormation deployment creates three default groups in IAM Identity Center (you can customise their names when launching the SandboxStudio-IDC stack):

• Admins Group — members of this group have full access to Sandbox Studio. They can configure settings, manage budgets, control permissions, and generally administer the platform. You should place only a small number of trusted users here.

• Managers Group — managers can create and manage sandboxes for their teams but do not have full platform-wide administrative rights.

• Users Group — standard users can request and use sandboxes but cannot configure or administer Sandbox Studio itself.

To set up your initial administrators:

1. Open the IAM Identity Center console.

2. Go to Groups, then select the Admins group (for example, MySs_SsAdminsGroup).

3. Choose Add users, search for the user accounts you want to designate as administrators, and assign them to this group.

4. Repeat the same process for Managers and Users if you want to prepare those groups now.
