SAP-C02 Practice Question: Design Solutions for Organizational Complexity
A company wants to centrally manage IAM users across multiple AWS accounts using AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS Single Sign-On). Which of the following are true? (Choose TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse permission sets with IAM roles in the management account, but permission sets are actually applied to roles created in the member accounts, not the management account.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Users can be granted access to multiple accounts from a central location.
AWS IAM Identity Center provides a central location where you can create users and groups, and then grant them single sign-on access to multiple AWS accounts and business applications. This eliminates the need to manage separate IAM users in each account, as permissions are assigned centrally through permission sets that map to IAM roles in the target accounts.
