Working with S3 Access Grants instances

Working with S3 Access Grants instances - Amazon Simple Storage Service

To get started with using AmazonS3 Access Grants, you first create an S3 Access Grants instance. You can create only one S3 Access Grants instance per AWS Region per account. The S3 Access Grants instance serves as the container for your S3 Access Grants resources, which include registered locations and grants.

With S3 Access Grants, you can create permission grants to your S3 data for AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users and roles. If you've added your corporate identity directory to AWS IAM Identity Center, you can associate this IAM Identity Center instance of your corporate directory with your S3 Access Grants instance. After you've done so, you can create access grants for your corporate users and groups. If you haven't yet added your corporate directory to IAM Identity Center, you can associate your S3 Access Grants instance with an IAM Identity Center instance later.
