Allowing multiple users to maintain AWS infrastructure

Question

I am trying to build OUs and member accounts so that I can allow team members to maintain the services hosted on AWS. For example, I will have users in database account to maintain rds, users in sysadmin account to maintain the EC2/EFS, and users in the developer account to maintain lambda etc. However, users in these accounts are not able to share the same services they created. That is, when the database users login to AWS, they do not see the EC2/EFS created by the sysadmin. And the sysadmin users do not see the lambda created by the developers.
I suppose the purpose of having different accounts is to allow each account to host their services separately and therefore billed seperately. So should I have all these users (database, sysadmin, developer) in one account so that they can share to maintain the services and infrastructure?

Accepted Answer

Hi,

Of course you can different users who has permissions to different AWS services.

let's say, you have number of users in AWS. Create permissions set in IAM as `database`, `sysadmin`, `developer`. [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/singlesignon/latest/userguide/useraccess.html#howtodelegatessoaccess](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/singlesignon/latest/userguide/useraccess.html#howtodelegatessoaccess)

Now attach the IAM policies to the permission set
* `database` permission set --> `AmazonRDSFullAccess`
* `sysadmin` permission set -->  `AmazonEC2FullAccess`/`AmazonElasticFileSystemFullAccess`
* `developer` permission set --> `AWSLambda_FullAccess`

Now start creating the IAM users in IAM identity center and map the above permission sets to them
