When you create a new AWS account using https://go.illinois.edu/awsrequest, you can add additional users in the following fields by separating the email addresses with a space:
After your account has been created, you can add additional users through Authman. AWS accounts are created with default groups of:
- Admins -- For administrators of the AWS account
- BusinessUsers -- For Business Office users to examine costs of the account
- PowerUsers -- For software developers
- Prisma -- For Cybersecurity to perform security checks on the account
- ReadOnly -- For Cybersecurity users to examine the account
To add a user to the Admins group:
- Log into Authman at https://authman.illinois.edu/
- Using the Browse folders on the left hand side, navigate to Root > Urbana > app > AWS > your-aws-account
- Click on the name of your account: your-aws-account. This will display account group info on the right hand side of the window.
- In the right hand display for your account, Click on the Admins group. This will display details about the Admins group with each user's ID.
- To add a new user to the Admins group, click on the Add members button. Enter the NetID for the user or perform a search to locate the user. With the correct user ID listed in the Member name or ID field, click on the Add button. Note that the user must have a valid University NetID.
