Sharing Login details as an RDP to grant someone access

Question

Good Day,

https://eu-west-1.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=eu-west-1#Instances:sort=desc:tag:Name

Please see link above, I have launched an Instance (Starter). How do I share it with someone as an RDP giving them a username and password to access.

Thanks

Hello.

AWS re:Post users do not have IAM users, so they cannot refer to EC2 even if they access the URL you have shared.  
If you want to create a user for RDP on Windows OS, you can access it by creating it by following the steps in the URL below and sharing the password.

To establish an RDP connection using Systems Manager Fleet Manager, you can gain access by creating an IAM user and assigning an IAM role to the EC2 instance.
