Let's learn how to create User groups in AWS IAM.

1st of all, IAM stands for Identity and Access Management.

IAM is a part of Security, Identity & Compliance.

Go to IAM Dashboards - Click on User groups to see the option for creating a group.
On the User groups dashboard, we can see group name, Users, Permissions & Creation time.

Click on create group
Specify User group name
Attach permissions policies - Optional
You can attach up to 10 policies to this user group. All the users in this group will have permissions that are defined in the selected policies.

Create group
That's it.



Example:

Name of the group - EC2Group
Attach permissions policies - Select AmazonEC2FullAccess
Create group

Name of the group - EC2Group
Attach permissions policies - Select AmazonS3FullAccess
Create group


Whenever new people join the company, we can add them directly to the groups if the groups are in place with policies.
Instead of assigning something manually to each user, we can promptly use the groups.
