AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 233

An organization has created 5 IAM users. The organization wants to give them the same login ID but different passwords. How can the organization achieve this?

Answer options

• A. The organization should create a separate login ID but give the IAM users the same alias so that each one can login with their alias
• B. The organization should create each user in a separate region so that they have their own URL to login
• C. It is not possible to have the same login ID for multiple IAM users of the same account
• D. The organization should create various groups and add each user with the same login ID to different groups. The user can login with their own group ID

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as IAM users must have unique login IDs within the same account, making it impossible to share a login ID among them. Option A suggests using aliases, which does not resolve the requirement for unique login IDs. Option B's approach of using different regions does not address the issue of login IDs, and option D's suggestion of using groups also fails to provide a solution for the login ID constraint.
