Administering account access manager from your organization management account

To administer account access manager settings in the AWS organization management account you need the following permissions:

Data protection in account access manager

This section complements the information provided in Data protection in AWS Identity and Access Management with additional details specific to account access manager.

Use of IAM Identity Center user and group data

Account access manager uses user and group data from IAM Identity Center to manage account assignments. However, account access manager stores and logs only AWS-generated identifiers (user ID and group ID) — it does not store or log user names, email addresses, or other personal attributes.

Logging and monitoring in account access manager

Account access manager uses its own API namespace (account-access) and logs API calls through CloudTrail.

For more information about CloudTrail, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide.
