IAM Groups
An IAM group is a collection of IAM users to which permissions can be attached as a common set. A group is useful when several users need similar access.
Why it matters
Groups reduce repeated policy assignment and make permission management easier.
How it works
Create group → attach policy → add users → users receive the group permissions.
Core Concept
Instead of attaching the same policy to many users individually, attach permissions to a group and add users to it.
Example: a developers group can receive common development permissions.
