  • 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.
