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:
-
Open the IAM Identity Center console.
-
Go to Groups, then select the Admins group (for example,
MySs_SsAdminsGroup). -
Choose Add users, search for the user accounts you want to designate as administrators, and assign them to this group.
-
Repeat the same process for Managers and Users if you want to prepare those groups now.
