AWS IAM Identity Center is the recommended service for centrally managing workforce access across multiple AWS accounts within an organization. According to AWS Certified Security – Specialty documentation, Amazon Q Developer integrates natively with IAM Identity Center as an AWS managed application.
By enabling IAM Identity Center and assigning Amazon Q Developer to users or groups, the company can centrally control access using permission sets and organizational boundaries. This approach provides centralized authentication, authorization, and auditing with minimal overhead.
Amazon Cognito is intended for customer and application user authentication, not workforce access to AWS services. Identity pools are not applicable to IAM Identity Center integrations.
AWS best practices clearly recommend IAM Identity Center for workforce access to AWS-managed applications.
