I'm quite new to AWS, so I'm hoping to get some guidance. I've set up an AWS organization and invited a few collaborators who already have their own AWS accounts. My goal is to give them access to do things like launch or delete EC2 and EDS instances, essentially allowing them to manage resources within the organization. I've created roles for each member and attached them, but it doesn't seem to be working. Are there any tutorials or articles that can help me grasp how this all operates so I can replicate it correctly? Thanks in advance!

Most AWS users with multi-account organizations use SSO through the IAM Identity Center from the master account to efficiently manage permissions. With SSO, all your users are organized and can have ‘permission sets’ mapped to people, groups, and accounts, making it easier to assign specific roles. Additionally, SSO enhances security by providing constantly rotating credentials compared to static IAM user credentials, which are often leaked. Consider setting up SSO first; it’ll make everything much smoother!
Exactly! Remember to use Service Control Policies (SCPs) to deny access to unwanted services too.
