Why are permissions assigned to a group rather than to individual IAM users?

Question

Anirudh C S · Accepted Answer

It is assigned to Groups because in a group permissions only need to be changed once and it is reflected on all the member users of the group, rather than individually adding permissions to users. It is a way of centralizing the policies for a lot of users. If a user should have some permissions that are under a group, the user can be added to that group. If permissions should be removed for a user, it can simply be removed from the group.

Giving permissions to groups instead of individual users makes it easier to manage access. It ensures everyone in the group has the same rights, simplifies updates, and helps keep permissions limited to what’s necessary. This way, it’s easier to control who can do what in AWS.
