Summary

IAM Identity Center now lets customer‑managed applications act as trusted token issuers to discover user accounts/roles and retrieve temporary credentials programmatically.
Users signed in via an external IdP can access assigned AWS accounts without an extra sign‑in prompt, removing redundant authentication.
Admins must explicitly enable AWS account access per application; the feature is available in all commercial, GovCloud, and China regions.
