How to create a IoT Project with multiple collaborators?

Question

Hello,
maybe my question is completely dumb, but I cant find anything in the internet...

I want to create an IoT project with AWS using the IoT Core, Dynamo DB and Amplify. I am working on this project with two other peoples. How can I create a Project that each of us can work on without having to log into my AWS account? If that is possible, can we work on it at the same time? If such a project is not possible, can I somehow export my IoT Core and make it available to my collaborators?

Thanks for your help

Hello, this seems to be a question of IAM Access.

I would recommend not sharing your AWS Account ever, but instead creating IAM Users and providing those to your collaborators. This way you can also implement fine grained access control and not share passwords across the accounts. [4]

Alternatively, you can also share access to their AWS accounts via cross account resource sharing (with roles).[1]

Similarly, I'd also recommend for yourself to not use the Root account but instead create an admin account that you log into.[2][3]

I've shared some info below.
