AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an AWS service that helps an administrator to securely control access to AWS resources. Administrators control who can be authenticated (signed in) and authorized (have permissions) to use Amazon Quick Sight resources. For more information about using Quick Sight with IAM, see [Using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/security-iam.html) in the *Amazon Quick Sight User Guide*.

With IAM policy assignment operations, you can create, update, and delete IAM policy assignments. For more information, see the following API operations.
