New Features

| Support for IAM |
Amazon SimpleDB now supports the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) web service that enables Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers to have one AWS Account and create Users for that account. Typically, an organization has an AWS Account and the organization creates Users (for each employee) so they can access AWS resources without having to have their own AWS Accounts. With IAM, you can centrally manage Users, security credentials (such as access keys), and permissions so that Users can only access those AWS resources they need to do their jobs. For more information about IAM, go to http://aws.amazon.com/iam. |
