AWS IAM User Management using CIEM Connector

[iamnithesh (Nithesh Rao)]

We are trying to manage users in AWS IAM (and IAM Identity Center, yet TBD) and plan to use CIEM Connector to do the same.

I am referring to the below post by @zachm117 and hoping to get more insights on the best approach to achieve above.

AWS Identity Center

Hey Felipe, We implemented the AWS CIEM connector and it is able to handle provisioning for Identity Center accounts. I am aware that you are asking about the non-CIEM AWS connector, but we don’t use that one since we have the CIEM one that suits our needs. I just figured I would mention that the CIEM one can manage Identity Center accounts if that is helpful to you. Thank you, Zach

• Based on the information provided in the link from above post, if we need to manage IAM users then we need both AWS and CIEM Connectors configured in ISC. Does it mean CIEM Connector is not doing anything related to managing users in IAM?
• Are we able to manage users in AWS IAM Identity Center using CIEM connector by enabling the AWS Role to have required rights?

Any inputs will be highly appreciated and I am hoping someone will create a blog on this
