Setting up access to the Amazon Q Developer Pro tier

This section provides instructions for setting up access to an Amazon Q Developer Pro subscription. It presents considerations for choosing which type of IAM Identity Center instance (organization or account) you should enable, including the advantages and disadvantages of each option.

After you choose the instance type that you will use to enable users in your organization, choose the corresponding topic for the prerequisites and setup instructions.

Supported IAM Identity Center Regions for Amazon Q Developer Pro

You can set up an IAM Identity Center instance for your Amazon Q Developer Pro subscription in the Regions listed on the Supported Regions page, except for opt-in Regions. Subscriptions are not supported for IAM Identity Center instances in opt-in Regions. If your IAM Identity Center instance is in an opt-in Region, you will only have access to the Free tier in the AWS console, and you won’t have access to Amazon Q in the IDE. Regardless of where you set up an IAM Identity Center instance or use Amazon Q Developer, data is sent to and stored in a US Region. For more information, see Data protection in Amazon Q Developer.
