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

```
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",

## Data protection in account access manager
<a name="aam-data-protection"></a>

This section complements the information provided in [Data protection in AWS Identity and Access Management](data-protection.md) with additional details specific to account access manager.

### Use of IAM Identity Center user and group data
<a name="aam-data-protection-use-of-idc-data"></a>

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
<a name="aam-logging-and-monitoring"></a>

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](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-user-guide.html).
