Streamline customer onboarding and accelerate time-to-value with AWS IAM temporary delegation

This article introduces AWS IAM temporary delegation, a new capability enabling AWS Partners to streamline customer onboarding through automated resource configuration with temporary, limited permissions.

• Partners automate AWS resource deployment while customers maintain full control and visibility
• Customers approve delegated access through AWS Management Console with time-bound permissions
• Built-in administrator approval workflows for users lacking delegation permissions
• Supports long-term access scenarios using IAM roles with permissions boundaries
• Accelerates feature adoption and simplifies ongoing maintenance tasks
• Eight launch partners already implementing: Archera, Aviatrix, CrowdStrike, Databricks, HashiCorp, Qumulo, Rapid7, SentinelOne

AWS IAM temporary delegation reduces onboarding time and operational overhead for ISV Accelerate Partners while maintaining security controls and customer visibility.
