Doesn't yet have access to AWS websites which makes it not totally useful yet. The most important thing for me is to give multiple people access to the AWS management console. Still a useful feature though.

"In the near future, we plan on adding support for your Users to login to the AWS Management Console. We also plan to extend the AWS Management Console to support IAM, providing a web-based interface to manage your Users, groups, and permissions."

Still, it's good to see that they're finally releasing it. With another company I'd wonder if "near future" means a couple of months or couple of years. Based on Amazons good track record I'm guessing 1-3 months.

sweet. About time. I asked http://stackoverflow.com/questions/130264/impact-of-aws-acco... almost 2 years to the day..
