Issue with Adding AWS Management Console Application in IAM Identity Center
Hello people! I have an issue with IAM Identity Center on my AWS account. I am currently unable to add the AWS Management Console as an application within the IAM Identity Center, despite following the recommended steps and consulting the documentation. First I was using IAM, but AWS recommended me to use IAM Identity Center, however I can't make it works.
Here is a summary of the issue:
I have successfully enabled IAM Identity Center for my single AWS account, without using AWS Organizations. I have confirmed my identity source as the Identity Center directory and I am using my root account with full permissions. Upon trying to set up application user and group assignments, I am not presented with the option to add the AWS Management Console or any other AWS managed application. This is preventing me from completing the setup and effectively managing access to AWS Console for my users and groups.
I would like to understand if there is a step that I might be missing, or if there's a temporary service disruption affecting IAM Identity Center functionalities. I am on the Free Tier, so I can't ask to support.
Thank you so much for your time.
Best regards, Javier

Hello, Actually, some time having an issue with free Tier account to access, and it need some permissions over the User account with necessary permissions.
once it has been checked and change the policy for AWS organization. it will be allowed you to create an application in IAM.
=> Go to Identity centre in IAM Console, then enable it. => Add application => It will shows you to options like setup preference.
Note: After enabling the Identity data center only it will allows you to create application.
IAM Identity Center on a single AWS account (without Organizations) cannot directly add AWS managed applications like the Management Console. These applications are managed within their respective services. AWS documentation on IAM Identity Center and AWS managed applications: link to AWS IAM Identity Center and AWS managed applications
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/singlesignon/latest/userguide/get-started-prereqs-considerations.html
Alternatives :
- Stick with IAM OR
- Upgrade for More Control (Not Free Tier): Upgrading IAM Identity Center to work with Organizations lets you add AWS apps and manage access across many accounts, but this isn't ideal for the Free Tier.
Hi, Above issue shows like free tier account eligibility and permissions need to Complete the task to create application.
Here, I follow some steps to do the issue in a detailed manner. => Go to IAM Dashboard click on IAM Identity center. => Click on Enable option is there in it. => After enabling it shows IAM Identity center setup, click on setup applications. => It will show two options as follows:
1. Enable with AWS Organizations.
2. Enable only in this account.
select options what you want to create your applications.
I hope these steps will solve your issue with creation of Application.

Thanks! After resetting my IAM Identity Center configuration, this time choosing the option to integrate with AWS Organizations, the "Add application" button now appears as expected during the setup process. It seems that IAM Identity Center may require AWS Organizations to be enabled, even if you are not actively managing multiple accounts, in order to fully utilize its features, including adding AWS managed applications like the AWS Management Console.
