AWS Sign-in now supports resource-based policies and resource control policies

Posted on: Jun 16, 2026

AWS Sign-in now supports resource-based policies and resource control policies (RCPs) for the AWS Management Console. You can use these policies to restrict console sign-in to expected networks. Policies are evaluated during sign-in and whenever the console session requests new credentials.

Resource-based policies apply to individual AWS accounts. Resource control policies apply organization-wide through AWS Organizations. You can combine these policies with AWS Management Console Private Access to control both which networks users can sign in from and which accounts they can access.

AWS Sign-in resource-based policies and RCPs are available at no additional cost in all AWS commercial Regions. To learn more, see the AWS Sign-in User Guide. For API details, see the AWS Sign-in API Reference.
