  • Single sign-on (SSO) to the AWS Management Console – Grant your team SSO access to AWS accounts via the [AWS Management Console Login menu](https://utoolity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IFAWS/pages/107806733/Using+the+AWS+Management+Console+Login+menu
  • Share AWS services and resources with your team
