Overview

IAM integration with Database Tools connections provides the following benefits:

• A centralized way to manage user identities and access permissions across multiple databases and tools.
• Users authenticate with IAM credentials reducing the need to store or share database passwords.
• Access to connections can be managed using IAM roles and policies, ensuring users only have the minimum permissions required.

For more information about IAM, see Identity and Access Management.
