## Use case

AWS access is spread across IAM, Identity Center and dozens of accounts in an organization. The AWS connector brings IAM, Identity Center, Organizations and CloudTrail data into Hydden, for one account or every account in the organization.

## Why it matters

Cloud roles are where standing privilege hides. Activity next to access shows which roles are used and which are just risk.

## How it works

1. **1. Collect identity and access** IAM users and roles, Identity Center assignments and your account structure.
2. **2. Add the activity** CloudTrail shows what each identity actually did.
3. **3. Review what is unused** Put access that is never used in front of reviewers.

## Screens and documentation

The AWS connector is part of Hydden for all customers. Add it from the connectors page.

**Need configuration detail?** Technical documentation is available to customers after sign-in.

## Key benefits

Let's say John, a cloud security lead, runs forty AWS accounts in one organization. He wants to cut admin access nobody uses. Here is what Hydden does.

1. Collects every admin role across the organization.
2. Checks CloudTrail for which of them were used in the last quarter.
3. Puts the unused ones in an access review for their owners.
