Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio enhances identity and user management

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio has introduced new administrative features that enhance control over identity configuration and user management for both IAM and Identity Center domain types. Within SageMaker IAM domains, administrators can now facilitate user onboarding through single sign-on by configuring AWS IAM Identity Center. Once configured, administrators have the ability to add IAM roles, IAM users, IAM Identity Center users, and IAM Identity Center groups as project members. This allows teams to collaborate on project data and resources, irrespective of the individual authentication methods used by team members.

Administrators can establish IAM Identity Center integration via the SageMaker Unified Studio admin portal. Additionally, a new domain user management page for SageMaker IAM domains provides a comprehensive view of all users active within the domain, enabling administrators to manage access and update permissions efficiently from a single interface.

For SageMaker Identity Center domains, users can now access the SageMaker Unified Studio portal through federated access using an IAM role. SageMaker Unified Studio creates a distinct user session for each federated user, ensuring that users sharing the same role do not overwrite each other’s work. This setup also allows administrators to audit individual actions even when a single IAM role is shared among multiple users.

These enhancements enable customers to utilize either IAM identity or IAM Identity Center corporate identity across both domain types, providing teams with the flexibility to collaborate within SageMaker Unified Studio regardless of their chosen authentication method. The newly introduced features are available in several AWS Regions, including Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Paris, Stockholm), South America (São Paulo), and the United States (N. Virginia, Ohio, Oregon). For further details, users are encouraged to consult the SageMaker Unified Studio documentation.
