AWS IAM Identity Center now supports cross-Region trusted identity propagation

Cross-Region Trusted Identity Propagation

Trusted identity propagation now supports cross-Region requests, allowing a user's identity to be carried with their request across different AWS Regions. This provides greater flexibility in how you architect and deploy across AWS Regions.

Previously, trusted identity propagation required all AWS services accessing a user's identity to be in the same Region. With this update, a user's identity can now travel with the request across Regions automatically, preserving fine-grained access control for every individual user.

What to do

• Update your architecture to take advantage of cross-Region trusted identity propagation.
• Review your IAM roles and policies to ensure they are configured to work with cross-Region requests.
• Consult the IAM Identity Center User Guide for more information.
