A company uses an organization in AWS Organizations to manage multiple AWS accounts. The company uses AWS IAM Identity Center to manage access to the accounts. The company uses AWS Directory Service as an identity source. Employees access the AWS console and specific AWS accounts and permissions through the AWS access portal.
A security engineer creates a new permissions set in IAM Identity Center and assigns the permissions set to one of the member accounts in the organization. The security engineer assigns the permissions set to a user group for developers namedDevOpsin the member account. The security engineer expects all the developers to see the new permissions set listed for the member account in the AWS access portal. All the developers except for one can see the permissions set. The security engineer must ensure that the remaining developer can see the permissions set in the AWS access portal.
Which solution will meet this requirement?
In IAM Identity Center, users see accounts and permission sets in the AWS access portal based onassignments. Here, the new permission set was assigned to theDevOps groupfor a specific member account. Sinceall developers except onecan see the permission set, the permission set itself and the account assignment are working correctly. The most likely cause is that the remaining developer isnot actually a memberof the DevOps group in the identity source (AWS Directory Service / Active Directory), or their group membership is not reflected due to missing/incorrect directory group assignment.
The least disruptive fix is to ensure the developer's identity is correctly included in theDevOpsgroup within the directory. Once the user is a member of the assigned group (and after normal identity sync/refresh behavior), IAM Identity Center will evaluate the user as entitled to that permission set, and it will appear in the access portal.
Option B is unnecessary because the assignment is already effective for others. Option C is unrelated; service-linked roles for Organizations do not determine portal entitlements. Option D would not explain why only one user cannot see the permission set; if console access were misconfigured, it would affect all users assigned that permission set.
