  • If this problem only occurs occasionally, check your internet connection. Try to connect through a different network, or with or without a VPN, or try using a different web browser.

  • If all impacted users are from the same team, it may be a privacy browser extension or security firewall issue. Privacy browser extensions and security firewalls can block access to the domains used by the AWS Management Console. Try turning off these extensions or adjusting firewall settings. To verify issues with your connection, open your browser developer tools (Chrome, Firefox) and inspect the errors in the Console tab. The AWS Management Console uses domains' suffixes including the following list. This list is not exhaustive and can change with time. These domains' suffixes aren't used exclusively by AWS.

    • .a2z.com

    • .amazon.com

    • .amazonaws.com

    • .aws

    • .aws.com

    • .aws.dev

    • .awscloud.com

    • .awsplayer.com

    • .awsstatic.com

    • .cloudfront.net

    • .live-video.net

Warning

Since July 31, 2022, AWS no longer supports Internet Explorer 11. We recommend that you use the AWS Management Console with other supported browsers. For more information, see AWS News Blog.

My browser displays an 'access denied' error when connecting to the AWS Management Console

Recent changes made to the console might affect your access if all of the following conditions are met:

  • You access AWS Management Console from a network that is configured to reach AWS service endpoints through VPC endpoints.

  • You restrict access to AWS services by either using aws:SourceIp or aws:SourceVpc global condition key in your IAM policies.

We recommend you review the IAM policies that contain the aws:SourceIp or aws:SourceVpc global condition key. Apply both aws:SourceIp and aws:SourceVpc where applicable.

You can also onboard to the AWS Management Console Private Access feature to access the AWS Management Console through a VPC endpoint and use aws:SourceVpc conditions in your policies. For more information, see the following:

My browser displays timeout errors when connecting to the AWS Management Console

If there's a service outage in your default AWS Region, your browser might display a 504 Gateway Timeout error when trying to connect to the AWS Management Console. To log in to the AWS Management Console from a different Region, specify an alternate Regional endpoint in the URL. For example, if there's an outage in the us-west-1 (N. California) Region, to access the us-west-2 (Oregon) Region use the following template: 

https://region-code.console.aws.amazon.com

For more information, see AWS Management Console service endpoints in the AWS General Reference.

To view the status of all AWS services, including the AWS Management Console, see AWS Health Dashboard.
