What Is IAM Identity Center?

Introduction

IAM Identity Center helps you centrally manage your workforce identities and their access to multiple Huawei Cloud accounts. You can create identities for your entire enterprise at one go and give them single sign-on (SSO) access with managed permissions. The IAM Identity Center administrator creates users, assigns passwords, and manages users by group. A single portal provides users with password-based SSO access to multiple accounts. A user who has passed the security verification in an application can access protected resources in other applications without logging in again.
