AWS Single Sign-On is now available in the Middle East (Bahrain) and Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Regions

AWS Single Sign-On (AWS SSO) is now available in the AWS Middle East (Bahrain) and Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Regions. For a full list of the regions where AWS SSO is available, see the AWS Regional Services List.

AWS SSO is where you create, or connect, your workforce identities in AWS once and manage access centrally across your AWS organization. You can choose to manage access just to your AWS accounts or cloud applications. You can create user identities directly in AWS SSO, or you can bring them from your Microsoft Active Directory or a standards-based identity provider, such as Okta Universal Directory or Azure AD. With AWS SSO, you get a unified administration experience to define, customize, and assign fine-grained access. Your workforce users get a user portal to access all of their assigned AWS accounts or cloud applications. AWS SSO can be flexibly configured to run alongside or replace AWS account access management via AWS IAM.

It is easy to get started with AWS SSO. With just a few clicks in the AWS SSO management console you can connect AWS SSO to your existing identity source and configure permissions that grant your users access to their assigned AWS Organizations accounts and hundreds of pre-integrated cloud applications, all from a single user portal.
