AWS Firewall Manager adds support for multiple administrators
Starting today, customers with multiple organizational units (OU’s), and accounts can now create up to 10 AWS Firewall Manager administrator accounts from AWS Organizations service to manage their firewall policies. Customers can delegate responsibility for firewall administration at a granular scope by restricting access based on OU, account, policy type, and region, thereby enabling policy management tasks to be implemented faster and more effectively.

With administrative scope extending to policy types, customers can assign responsibility for managing particular firewall policies to users who have expertise in different AWS services, such as AWS WAF or AWS Network Firewall. Also, using centralized controls, default administrators can establish baseline security policies across multiple accounts while enabling application developers to manage their own policies under separate administrator accounts.
